I picked up a story in the Livejournal community Customers_suck that would fit very well on the blog:

...punchline omitted...

The comment threads are sadly appaling though. People actually discussing astrology instead of outright pointing and laughing.

Sylvia Browne is a dangerously inept charlatan. I mean really - she isn't even GOOD at flat out lying to people. Oh well.

You don't have to be good--if a person wants to believe in something, or more often, somebody, they will regardless of contradictory info available all around them. Perhaps it's a survival trait to cause non-alphas to follow the leader even when things don't look so good.
