Art Bell bans "The Amazing Kreskin" (MP3 15:37)
(Thanks to John D. for the audio)
Events surrounding May & June, 2002
Recently "Kreskin" www.kreskin.com "predicted" the Largest UFO sighting in a century ... he repeated this on the Art Bell show and backed it up with a $50,000 donation to charity if he was wrong. He narrowed it down to Thursday 6/6. That evening nothing happened and he subsequently went into damage control mode. This audio is of Art and "The less than amazing" Kreskin mixing it up. Kreskin sounds every bit the fool. Turns out it was all deception and Art bans him from the show.

Our Answer to the famous "Pump" infomercial.
Yes, the infamous "Pump" infomercial, long a standard on the former talker, WWDB. Ridiculed and wildly profitable at the same time, this product promised results seemingly too good to be true ... a larger "Goldmember" for those trusting enough to fork over the purchase price. Size does matter. This product is still around today in many new versions. This parody pokes fun not only at the product but at the advertising culture that accepts a product with such outrageous claims as the standard for infomercials.
