Television is out there at times.

Television is getting out of control, a controversial television séance airing on Monday will claim it has reached the spirit of John Lennon, but viewers will have to pay $9.95 to find out what the peace-loving Beatle has to say.

In all honesty, this borders on a crime of fraud, but you can bet your Beatles cards that the producers are more insured than Lloyds of London. According to the news service, they are filming the show at La Fortuna when at once they stop and a narrator states “something odd has happened”. Then we are hit with the cost of the 9.95-cent audience participation when they actually claim a mysterious voice can be heard on the audio feed of one of the participating psychics.

That totally is out of character with the John Lennon of old, unless he was interested in making an antiwar or anti political statement. He was the originator of “hate the establishment” and we are expected to believe this!

If this is truly the case and we actually have individuals capable of communicating with those who have passed beyond then we need to contact people on the other side who can make a difference; Kennedy, Lincoln, Roosevelt, both of them and let’s toss in Patton for good measure and for the media headlines he would surely make.

I for one and very pleased that I have control of the off button and that I will not have to watch a fraudulent act like this.
