Taking advantage of grief-stricken individuals to further her (so-called) career. Fucking evil bitch if I’ve ever seen one. > **['You're evil, evil, evil!'

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up there. A “psychic” who preys on the desperate and gullible has been proven a fraud?! I am shocked! Shocked, I say! ---

The people who listen to her refuse to believe anything bad said about her! Maybe she should work for Fox News. ---

But you see… psychics don’t get everything right! They are humans just like the rest of us and miss every once in a while. Give the poor lady a break. Maybe God was just messing with her those days sending her bad voojoo or something. ---

I really, really, really, do not want to see the word ‘Fuck’ anywhere near Sylvia Brown. Uh-uh. ---

I predict psychics everywhere will instead start referring to victims as ‘being six feet under’ instead of dead just in case, you know, they find them in a basement. ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > The people who listen to her refuse to believe anything bad said about her! Maybe she should work for Fox News. She is for real. She once correctly guessed what I had in my pocket. I didn’t give her any hints at all and she guessed car keys. Explain that. 😉 ---

Given her batting average, I predict that the best news she can give the parent of a missing child is that he/she is dead. What a twat. ---

Didn’t Sylvia Browne also attempt to give the police directions to where Elizabeth Smart’s body had been buried? ---

I know the librarians here will hate me for this, but at my local library I always take the Sylvia Browne books and re-shelve them in “fantasy fiction” section. It offends me that anything she writes could be considered non-fiction. ---

Why isn’t she in jail now? She got convicted for fraud before. Surely, this has to count as more of the same. ---
