    he wouldnt be much of a porn star then though - plus if he never could get it up for camera then he wouldnt be able to class himself as a pornstar


    Bullsh!t detectors should do this for their next project and strategically place Viagra around the set and see if somebody takes the bait. :P


    With regards to this video i dont know how "skeptics" can jump on this and use this as proof as its not scientific at all.

    Not sticking up for any psychics but lets look at this an other way .

    But lets look at it this way. This piece does show that they cheated. But does it prove that they are not psychic ?

    If you cheat once thats it you are busted , if a scientist faked his results he'd be booted out of any institution he worked at and his work would never be looked at again.

    Porn stars use viagra. That's why fluffer is a dead profession. And bad analogy to be honest.

    i would agree that just because some mediums have been proved fake, it certianly doesnt mean they all are.

    on the other hand though, its all trust based so once you see mediums getting caught out, its hard to trust any others. If i were a medium, i'd be hunting down the fake ones.

    But it means you are willing to lie to get the results you want. You can never be trusted again.

    If they were psychic, would they have needed to cheat? Would they run the risk? If they are psychic and just wanted the TV time, did they realise the possible consequences?

    They should be shunned by the rest of the paranormal community and ignored by anyone investigating claims of paranormal activity.

    I find it hard to believe with any psychic on "da telly", can call upon their pyschic abilities or spirity guides "on demand". Its never worked like that in my experience.

    What if you were psychic and your super power's decided not to work on the night ?? and you have been paid to deliver .

    Maybe ask a psychic

    Sure what do ya expect? The negative energy from the skeptical film crew probably caused the mediums' powers to misfire!

    Except of course for Goldie, who was in fact testing us.....

    I feel as sorry for people who believe without question the spouting of psychics as sorry as I do for those who email General Ugwengo Anbegongo their bank account details to claim their millions left to them by a dead Zimbabwian prince.

    They are filling a market thats there for it.

    Thats hilarious. Well done to BBC, there should be more of that.

    I couldn't believe it when I saw Kevin, he's been in Ireland twice that I know of, I spoke to him in the early 90's through my work, and got a pass to one of his shows, and felt he was really as false as they come and that it was a money making racket. Wasn't comfortable around him at all.

    To be honest, I don't believe any of these psychics on tour!

    Just goes to show that EVERY SINGLE "medium" or "psychic" is a complete fraud, liar and pathetic, scheming con-artist. These people are the lowest rungs in society, preying on the hopes and desires of the innocent and gullible. They all truly are wretched excuses for human beings

    Lower than murderers? Lower than racists? Hmmm. Interesting.

    I get that you feel strongly about it. The show was a joke, apparently.:) But be careful where you say EVERY SINGLE one, unless youve tested them all personally.

    yes it was funny but I don't see how it proves every single medium or psychic are frauds.

    well you can hardly test them all however it speaks volumes that in a test of a group of psychics 100% were found to be liars and cheats

    But you also have to bear in mind that these were 100% fame hungry psychics on TV. :) Things like that might skew your statistics.

    I'm not for a moment arguing with the fact that these guys were caught out nicely. As was Derek Acorah ages ago. I just have to point out when someone is making a sweeping assumption based on a single tv show. If I pointed to a tv show with an accurate psychic and said 'see? that means EVERY SINGLE ONE is accurate', I'd be pulled up for bs double quick.

    No it doesn't actually, just the silly 3 billys there in that piece. I'm sure theres more, but ALL ?? Your views are a bit extreme to say the least
