:lol: :lol: :lol: Quality... I saw a episode of this a few years ago, it involved a character called the annoying devil, who basically hanged outside a window on top of a ladies hairdressers waiting for unsuspecting ladies to leave the shop with there best hairdo',only to throw a large bucket of water over there heads as they exit the shop. Imagine there horror to this!! Especially as they have probably been in the shop for ages getting there best hair cut.. :lol: :lol:

Very funny video....but there are some interesting moral questions here.

Should a Psychic
a) always hold back on any negative vibes for fear of upsetting a client.
Should they always put a positive spin on everything they say ?

b) give false readings in order to manipulate an outcome.
in the video, suppose the girl had been secretly wanting to break off the relationship. Could she have paid a psychic to help her? Obviously not in such a blatent or comedic way, but who is to say that some psychics are always impartial, unbiased, and not open to corruption.

Here is an interesting question regarding impartiality of Psychic readings...
Imagine if a two top psychics were to do a reading for David Cameron. One Psychic was a strong Conservative and the other was strong Labour supporter. If David Cameron picked 5 Tarot cards, would they both come up with the same analysis for David Cameron's future or would their own political bias colour their interpretation of the cards ?

A classic, but his creator committed a faux pas and swore like a trooper live on Jonathan Ross. He was quickly dropped from development by BBC3.
