Brown coming to town.

So I'm rummaging through the local events rag, and I spot an ad for Sylvia Brown who will be coming to my town soon to do her shtick.

Now I'm not big on the activist scene (for skepticism); I'm not the protesting type either (yes, I'm lame... whatever), but I can't help but wonder if there is anything I could do on the occasion of her visit that would actually be productive and possibly encourage people to think good and hard about what she really represents.

Any one have any ideas?

Fling poo at her. Or, if you are not feeling monkety, fling Pooh at her. (Eeyore might object, but he objects about everything.)
 
I am most certainly NOT coming to town. At least not to Pottawattamie County. Apart from holding the school where my grandparents were educated, there is really not much worthwhile to see in Council Bluffs.

A large sign to carry, reading something like, "She's no more psychic than I am"

and see how many people ask you for a reading... and even offer to pay for it...
 
Yep, missed the 'e' on the end of her name in the subject. Sorry, Brown!

Well, I didn't go to the "event". My mother's 69th birthday celebration took precedence (spare the sexual jokes; she got plenty ribbed by her family!).

I looked around for a write-up of the "event", but I can't find anything (which is actually a really good thing -- no free publicity for her!). I would be curious how well these things are attended though.

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. Sorry for the half-baked motivation on my part.

If you're still interested, pop along to the General Skepticism forum, where RS Lancaster posts about Browne and his Stop Sylvia campaign. Her star appears to be very much on the wane ...
