I can't beleive no one posted this in my absense. I suppose its a bit out of date, being that its from last week, but the world cannot continue to turn without this gem of national news firmly placed upon the soup

KNS's personal alternate title for this article: Missouri's Got its Boxers in a Bunch, Bebe!

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) -- The Missouri attorney general has filed two lawsuits against a television psychic hotline for false advertising, fraud and other unlawful business practices, alleging the company bilked consumers out of money and caused them significant injury.

The hotline advertises services by Miss Cleo, who speaks with a Caribbean accent and promises psychic and tarot card readings. The commercial, which has been broadcast across the nation, offers to "find the answers for free" with the slogan "Keepin' it Real."

"They should've seen it coming, whether they were psychic or not," state Attorney General Jay Nixon told CNN.

"The fact that they didn't see it coming shows they aren't psychic."

It's wierd, but now I keep seeing her commercials (5 times in two days.) Maybe I never really paid attention before.
Speaking of, in NJ two yrs ago, a couple of people I kinda knew (locals) were arrested for running a psychic network. Gives me a lot of confidence
