My wife and I were very offended that this charlatan was given any money by Priceline to be a representative. We have used Priceline in the past and never will again. It made my skin crawl to see her on there. Where is the bunko squad when you need them! - xxi_centuryboy Fri, 17 Aug 2012 01:30:24 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1803-dj-grothe.html#comment-25918 Price Line is using a "real" psychic for their ads? I'm glad I don't use them. - Xiphos Thu, 16 Aug 2012 18:18:13 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1803-dj-grothe.html#comment-25910 I have to agree with Starthinker. If Caputo is stupid enough to appear in an ad that basically treats her 'performance' as a joke--that's her problem, not Priceline's. It would be like John Edward agreeing to appear in a South Park episode...have at it, i say! - Stanfr Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:44:05 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1803-dj-grothe.html#comment-25908 It's not just for Priceline.. Just today I had friends and family talking about Theresa Caputo and wanting to go to her show. I was able to send them this link. What skeptic organizations do go far beyond the seemingly direct action. - Sc00ter Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:45:05 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1803-dj-grothe.html#comment-25907 Just because they might not take any notice is no reason not to try! The more skeptics who try, the more likely we are to succeed! And threats to their business in numbers certainly may make them sit up and take notice. Even if she does not take the MDC, they may drop her, and that would be a result in itself. Have written as follows: F.T.A.O.: Jeff Boyd - C.E.O. I understand that the James Randi Educational Foundation have invited you to ask your spokeswoman to submit to the Million Dollar Challenge to prove her claimed psychic powers. I urge you to either urge her to do so, or drop her like a hot potato. Unless you do one or the other then I will be urging all my contacts to avoid your company like the plague. You may think it is just a fun ad campaign. Regrettably many vulnerable people fall for the psychic scam, and giving her the oxygen of publicity gives the appearance of an endorsement. Sincerely, - diohuni Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:08:34 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1803-dj-grothe.html#comment-25906 The chances of Priceline even caring is minimal. The chances of Theresa applying for the challenge is all minimal. I wouldn't expect a response. - IceSage Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:23:47 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1803-dj-grothe.html#comment-25905 I think it's obvious the Priceline ad is a spoof and she is spoofing herself. To ask Priceline to stand behind what to them is only an actress in a commercial is a bit ridiculous. I think showing a medium doing something ridiculous in a humor-based ad is actually showing that they don't take themselves seriously so neither should anyone else. - Starthinker Wed, 15 Aug 2012 07:55:15 +0100
