Skeptic
“The skepticism! My God! Where does it come from?”
Many places, I’d say. As a kid, I’d always want to know how a trick was done (much like many people) and truly hated it when people would pretend to have powers that I knew were tricks. After being exposed to enough lying, a curious kid is bound to come to the realization that just because somebody says something is true, doesn’t make it so.
More recently. however, it was that asshole Uri Geller. Yeah, he’s a real spoon bending motherfucker. Maybe it was his arrogance or self-righteousness that just set me off. I recall a live special on Fox, where Gellar told the audience to concentrate, and try to make the watches and clocks stop. It was fucking embarassing as he went around to people, looking at their watches claiming that they had stopped, when it was so clear that they hadn’t. Plus, he’s Michael Jackson’s good friend, so that has to be telling you something. Fraud. Uri Gellar is a fraud because he claims to do that which he cannot. I can’t believe this trickster is still on TV. Please, Uri: I’ll stop calling you a fraud if you can prove that you are not. So there.
