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 hundreds of people showed up but happened and he subsequently went into damage control mode. This audio is of Art and "The less than amazing" Kreskin mixing it up. Art took it as deception and bans him from the show. (Audio posted with permission from Art Bell) Art Bell passed away 4/13/2018 & George Kresge passed away 12/11/2024.

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.
