Okay, I’m not even going to suggest discussing the validity of TV psychics (or any other kind). What gets me is this: Does this company have a room full of women with Jamaican accents all pretending to be her for the idiots, I mean people, who call? And has everyone noticed that even the actress in the TV commercial isn’t really Jamaican. If you listen close you can hear her accent slip.
Cleo has the potential to be the next “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” celebrity from TV. She’s becoming a cult (no pun intended) figure on my campus already. Her commercials are getting more and more elaborate, too. (The latest one looks like that old Police video with all the candles.) But her accent is actually getting worse.
As for that question, I’ve pondered it, too. My guess is that you can find plenty of actors/Jamaicians in need of $$$ to run Madame Cleo’s service. Or maybe once you call they say you’re talking to one of Cleo’s assistants/students. Anyone want to pony up the cash and find out?
Is it just me, or does she have the worst Jamaican accent ever?
All I know is that if I buy the wrong brand of bubble bath and she, a la Saturday Night Live, rises out of the bubbles, then I’m outta here!
No, I don’t have anything useful to add…
Occasionally, on some of the commercials, you’ll see “Cleo’s extension” on the side of the screen. So if any of you all feel inclined to call, her extension is 16153. Let us know how it goes.
