So I'm channel hopping when I come across a show calling itself The Real Exorcist. Demonic possession and all that stuff has always interested me, and so a program showing a genuine case study sounded like a sweet deal. Instead I got THIS crap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flmw2qIQCEgIt always surprises me just how stupid and gullible people can be. Admittedly this clip is ten times better than the episode I watched, but only cos the big fat broad is a better actress than the rest. But the rest of the clip is more of the same "I'm shouting so that means its REAL" junk. If proof were needed, check this out.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KWEmTKwsxU&feature=relatedThe most depressing thing? The Youtube comments from people who call people WITH a shred of intellect sinners and "demons" for not swallowing this garbage. Is this guy a big deal over in America?

Is this guy a big deal over in America? If I've never heard of him or his show, then the answer is no. And I haven't.

My favorite "real" exorcist move: clubbing them upside the head with a Bible. I'd like to think I pioneered the technique in grade school when I starred in a youth-group play as David and defeated Goliath the same way. I did it entirely for comedic effect, but the adults ate it up (symbolism and all that, I guess) though they objected to the line "through the power of God I shall kick your butt". I thought it was fried gold. How did that guy hold back the guffaws when he asked that woman if she's a snake and she replied "yessssssssss!"? Astounding. These people are rich as hell, but not really a big deal. They aren't mainstream in any sense of the word, but there are devoted followers who follow them like they're the Grateful Dead and shit. I work closely with one such person. A faith healer (*cough*conman*cough) told this entirely healthy coworker of mine that she had undiagnosed cancer that he "cured" for her on the spot. And she bought it. Literally. Every day off of hers is spent hunting these people down and throwing money at them out of gratitude that she's still alive. Are you familiar with John Edwards? He who brings women to tears bullshitting them about how much their dead loved ones love them and want them to be happy. Disgusting man. Anyways, he was a big deal until America's true defenders of all that is right and good released an episode entitled "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" which debunked his very popular (and very boring) television show and handed him the title honor.
