Char, life after disaster. Char claims to be a psychic medium who talks to the dead. In her new show she visits people who lost a loved one in a disastrous event. Plane crash, or the firework explosion in Enschede for example.

This is the kind of thing that gets me genuinely pissed off. But I am willing to be told it's no big deal and I am really getting upset over nothing at all. I think we are all intelligent enough to realise that these people use tricks to do their magic show of talking to deceased relatives, so in advance I'm going to assume that we all agree there's nothing paranormal about the whole affair.
Now what pisses me off is that this cow, sponsored by RTL, invades the lives of people who have had a terrible loss and are thus open to any kind of consolidation she offers them, while knowing that what she does is nothing more spectacular then a cheap magic trick. And I have to say I completely understand the willingness of those poor people to participate in such a show. Especially the chance to relate to a lost love one is a temptation which can be nearly impossible to resist.
Now the big question. Does this tart provide a sort of closure to the loved ones that remain behind, and could this be actually a good experience for them so they can be more at peace with what happened and more capable of getting on with their lives. Or is this horse really disgracing the loved ones by claiming to have the right to speak for them? Is she actually raping their graves for some money, fame and recognition?
I think it's pretty clear what my opinion is.
