From the Friendly Atheist:
Amanda Berry is one of the 3 women held captive for 10 yrs by Ariel Castro in Cleveland.
In 2004, Berry watched her mother appear on the Montel Williams Show with fake psychic and general all-purpose fuckhead Sylvia Browne. (Hey, if you want high-toned objective journalism, go read The Economist.)
Both Amanda and her mother were absolutely convinced Browne had real psychic powers. So Amanda waited anxiously for Browne to say she was alive.
Browne told Berry's Mom unequivocally that her daughter was dead. Berry's mother went home, took down the yellow ribbons, and sold all of Amanda's stuff. A little later Berry's mother died. Friends said she was never the same after hearing Browne's bogus bullshitting.
And what did Browne have to say when Amanda publicly complained about her bullshit?
Read the SUBJECT line again. That's what Browne said.
I almost made the SUBJECT line: "Sylvia Browne Dead, Still An Asshole." But I figured some other asshole would Alert on me for disrespecting the deceased.
