Fortune-tellers targetted in new Consumer Protection Regulations

From The Times on Line: "Fortune-tellers will have to tell customers that what they offer is “for entertainment only” and not “experimentally proven”. This means that a fortune-teller who sets up a tent at a funfair will have to put up a disclaimer on a board outside.

Similar disclaimers will need to be posted on the websites of faith healers, spiritualists or mediums where appropriate, as well as on invoices and at the top of any printed terms and conditions."

I fully agree with this provided it is extended to all superstitions not experimentally proven. This would encompass all the religions that at the moment appear to be able to act with impunity in their desire to influence the lives of their credulous victims.
