Is There Anybody There?

How does it go... You can fool most of the people...? Three years after failing to contact Princess Diana on the other side, the show's producers will air another attempt, this time to reach beyond the grave and contact John Lennon. Perhaps they anticipate some divine intervention on this occasion since they probably believed him when he said he was more famous than Christ.

Their motive for resurrecting (excuse the pun) a failed and inherently flawed format, must surely be driven by a thirst for scientific and spiritual knowledge. But, hang on, why isn't the seance being shown on The Discovery Channel? Surprise surprise... It's on Pay-Per-View, not so daft eh? These canny producers flushed with the failure of screwing $14.95 from millions of viewers clamouring to hear Diana tell them 'who dunnit', are now going to extract $9.95 from unsuspecting Beatles fans. Aren't producers great?

Funny too that genius TV moguls even know the value of someone's spirit, how did they arrive at the relative charges? Do they perhaps feel they have a lesser chance of contacting John Lennon, or, did he bring joy to fewer people than Diana? The other thing is we know who murdered him so there's no 'added value' there. These miserable money grabbers should be told where to get off, and the viewing public should boycott the show... You know you won't get your money's worth! True Lennon fans would know he wouldn't want you to watch it.

The motive for, and the amount of work and creativity going into this show isn't worth the price to one viewer. Yoko was being polite in calling it "tacky"... Sordid is almost good enough for me.

This has to be top contender for the "Impeccably Bad Taste Hall of Fame"
