Re: Extreme Paranormal

 There is a very good commentary on this pathetic show at http://whofortedblog.com/ . It is very insightful and a great commentary on how the paranormal themed shows are getting out of hand.  If Judas Priest can be sued (unsuccessfully) for alledged subliminal messages on one of their albums causing a suicide, just imagine what A&E is setting themselves up for with this show.  As the editor who commented on the above mentioned blog states, this show is very dangerous.  All it takes is a few kids attempting to recreate these stunts and get injured for the proverbial excrement to hit the fan.  Please take time to read this great article, in case it moves down the line, I will post the direct link, I am also going to add a newsfeed from their site at the bottom of this page.  Having just found the site, I think it's yet another good site for the skeptic or those who wonder just what is going on in these paranormal shows.  Although lately, they have concentrated on weird news, rather than bashing on shows as many sites have now started to do, I think their taking the time to point out the stupidity of the actions on the show as a public service in itself noteworthy.  It's sad that one of the members of the Extreme Paranormal "Stooges" was a part of the history of their blog, the writer of the article being a former friend before they parted ways on good terms, he does feel the need to give his honest opinion of how this show is dangerous as well as a blight on paranormal investigators in general.

 When I watched this show, sadly only now getting around to voice my opinion, I too felt this wasn't a show worth watching.  I hope that it's two show run is the last we will see of this show.  I felt myself wanting to laugh at most of the situations, except the "blood ritual", although supposedly edited not to show the whole ritual, I do think there will be some who try to recreate this situation.  I can see only harm coming from this, if not just the self-inflicted injury itself, to accidental burns and deep cuts and infection.  And that's only the medical side effects, who knows the psychological effects this can have on young people?  Can't be good, that's for sure.  As it is, all the other paranormal show's members are distancing themselves from this show as fast as they can, I don't blame them.
