* Psychics that tell parents their missing child is in heaven and happy. Do I have to enumerate the problems this has?
* Breatharians that recommend not eating.
* People that stare into the sun for energy.
* People that recommend 'natural' cures or other inanities rather than science based treatments.
* dowsers that take your money to wave around a stick.
Sure, spoon bending is silly. Going to Mexico to 'cure' your cancer against the advice of your doctor? It happens every day, and it is anything but silly. These are the people he targets, not just the Uri Geller's of the world.
