[escepticos] RV: Tonight....

[planetario@...>]

Para quienes puedan pillar el Discovery Channel en versión fetén (o sea, la
americana), puede ser interesante. ¿Habrá algún alma caritativa que lo grabe
y me mande una copia? Por favor!
Saludos,

>Tonight, the 28th, at 9 p.m. (time may vary in your area, check it)
>the Discovery Channel will run "A Skeptic Guide," a program that
>should be interesting to us.  (They usually repeat such programs later
>at midnight, so you've twice the chance of catching it.)  The producer
>probably did well by the JREF, but we'll see.  One thing you should
>know about the content of the show: you won't find Uri Geller
>mentioned anywhere.  Mr. Geller is so touchy about the word "skeptic,"
>that he trembles every time he hears it.  As a result, the producer
>called to inform me that the Discovery Channel (legal office, the
>president, all sorts of others there) had received numerous threats of
>lawsuits from Geller's lawyers -- and they hadn't even seen the
>program!  As a result, the Discovery Channel simply chopped Geller out
>of the program altogether.  For someone who is trying so hard to make
>a come-back, you'd think that this former psychic superstar would
>welcome any sort of TV exposure (oops!  Wrong word!) just to keep his
>name up there.  He must have something to be sensitive about, you
>might conclude.....  So, the former star will not be discussed on "A
>Skeptic Guide."  We can only hope that his lawyers will continue to
>threaten other TV producers, and that we may be relieved of the same
>old tired spoonbending routine.  Or, he may get a new repertoire
>together.  Fat chance.
