Win a free reading from Sylvia Browne! Easy to do.
This will be fun. I don't think any skeptic is willing to waste $750+ on testing Sylvia Browne with basic questions during a reading. But what if you can win it?
Per Sylvia Browne's twitter account:

I'd bet a box of donuts that she reneges.

I also bet she's not going to give the reading to someone like myself, who's following list includes The JREF, Jeff Wagg, Phil Plait, Penn Jillette, Teller, Derren Brown, Tim Minchin, Richard Saunders, PZ Myers and Richard Dawkins, just to name a few... ![]() Cheers, Chris |

The reading may be free, but it'll cost $750 to cover her long distance charges.

freedom isn't about the money, its about the free-nitude of stuff. Extra-free, or ultra-free is more free than regular free-ness...which is all she's offering.

I do not know why you guys are so hard on Sylvia. She gave me a reading and was absolutely bang-on!
She said I was incredibly handsome and a real babe magnet. I will not get into the rather embarrassing remarks she made about my sexual prowess except to say that that women will be erecting statues in my likeness and that songs of praise will be sung for centuries. She further added that I was obviously one of the most intelligent men that she had ever had the privilege of reading and that no-one should ever question my arguments or point of view - especially on the JREF.

She's passed 10,000. Please tell me it was one of us. I missed it.

I sent a tweet to the winner with a link to Stop Sylvia.com. Too cheeky?
