"For entertainment purposes only"

I don't quite know which law makes programme makers put up that silly announcement before every paranormal programme on TV but it's getting a little tedious. Does the nanny state think us unable to come to our own rational decisions without havine the "there-there" brigade patting us on the shoulder and telling us it's all OK and the big scary bogeymen aren't real. Who cares what these PC-gone-mad little jobsworths think. If I choose to believe, disbelieve, suspend belief or swear vehemently at my TV set whilst these programmes are on TV it is completely my choice. I notice they never put that stuff on just before Songs of Praise!

Belief is a personal choice and still (thank God) something that is a basic, fundamental, personal freedom. Please stop trying to protect us from something that 99.99% of us feel neither unsettled by or worried about. There are some TV programmes (and you know who you are) that I now watch in amusement and fond affection, when one of it's resident psychics gets possessed more often than cars after loan defaults!
You are right about that at least  - it IS entertaining. Now stop being like some boring granny and repeating it endlessly...WE KNOW.
