Sylvia Browne was featured twice on E's "The Soup" tonight. It's a show that plays clips from various reality and talk shows and pokes fun at them. In the first clip, Sylvia told a woman that in her past lives she had been a saloon dancer and an Indian who did little more than "weave" - essentially telling her she had been a loser in all her previous incarnations. In the second, which was the show's "clip of the week," she told another woman - completely out of the blue, apparently - that the man she thought was her father was not her real father. Understandably, the woman looked stunned, and Sylvia's response was to say "but who cares..."

The show referred to Sylvia as "The Apathetic Psychic," and made fun of her voice. I watch this program semi-regularly and this is the first time I can recall her being on it. Good to see that examples of her callousness are starting to filter into pop culture. Unfortunately, this might boost ratings for Montel, as fans of trash tv tune in for some sarcastic laughs.

I'd change the title by just one letter: The PATHETIC Psychic.

Either way it's a redundancy.

It is about time they started making fun of her. I'm surprised it took them this long.

Seconded (though I do watch some of the shows).

I thought the Soup's editors did a perfect job capturing how full of it Syvlia is. I'm sure she'd claim those segments were taken out of context. ;)

It was great.

Although not quite as great as the indestructible cheerleader or the time Joel thought that he was the only one who could see Tricia Helfer.

I catch the Soup from time to time and it'd be great if he made fun of her every single week. I'd bet SNL's Weekend Update (the only part of SNL that I watch) could get some zingers in, too.
