I was checking who has linked to my blog (using technorati, which has recently improved from worse to bad). There were the usual link farmers growing penis pills and such, but one cowboy website stood out for its brazen display of daring and contempt for reason and sanity. It was a silly website peddling things like 'Crystals', 'Coils' and 'Monay Magnets'. They seemed to have decided that they must woo customers with the latest news on astrology and what-not. So, they have diligently setup a page which displays 'astrology' news (probably, a RSS feed grabber that takes in posts from all over the internets and throws it on their news page).
So, now, they've got a good number of posts telling their readers what a load of shit these guys are. Randi's experiment debunking astrology is displayed prominently on the page (so is Astrology, Kerala style, my parody of a small town charlatan, which is how I found this stoopid site).
Feel free to imagine the utterly confused and bewildered look in the faces of witless buyers visiting that site and reading these 'news'.
