From the magazine for crackpots, Nova, comes this ad. Meditate as deeply (in fact more deeply) than a Zen monk? Despite some careful breathing and chanting, Zen monks were mightily pissed off at this ad, seeing that some of them had wasted up to 70 years honing their meditation skills. It’s a wonder the monks didn’t go all Shaolin on Nova’s arse.
Mind you the monks could have seen it coming if they had called this creature. Her accuracy as well as her head are equally unnerving. Have you ever read Nova? I’d rather read the West’s prostitute ads than these. Ugh.

The photo in the second ad looks a lot like our friend Helen. We had no idea she had a new venture at $3.50/minute. That’s $210/hour. She’s never been especially insightful before.

I thought there was a touch of the Pam Casellas in there.

Pammies running a charlatan line now that’s sumpin’.
Caller : ” Now what’s in the future for me , Pammie ?”
Pammie : ” I forecast that your pussy will feel a little sore”
Caller : ( now worried ) : ” My pussy !?”
Pammie: ” Yes your pussycat will develop a sore tummy but the vet will cure him”

Surely we’re all devoted Nova readers – and there’s a lot of text to read. There you are on page 13 (June 2008 issue) having finished the “Blessings Feature” and resting your eyes on the half-page ad for the internationally acclaimed mind body healing expert Brandon Bays. Brandon looks sparklingly healthy (amazing what a bit of work and a daily colonic irrigation can do) and willing to impart some wisdom (well, probably enough of it to get you to buy a book and some tapes) for a mere $695 for a weekend intensive.
Days later when you reach page 39 you’ll find Lerae Rowney’s article about two healing guides who are inspired to share the work that has helped them heal themselves. Sahaja had breast cancer, but luckily a friend had a book called The Journey by Brandon Bays ………
What a co-incidence!
