So, anyone else watching Eliot Spitzer on Current TV?

They just aired a REALLY bizarre ad about the return of Jeebus, Krishna or someone.
The ad included an eight-hundred number to call for a "message" about it
and advised viewers to watch the sky for a certain star-
What the hell?

I think Spitzer is doing a good job though, advertising aside.

Maybe they are desperate for funding?

Benjamin Creme...LOL!

Went to see him once out of curiosity.

What a charlatan-
I'm surprised Current would accept their money to run their ad
on the network!
Talk about WOO-WOO bullshit.

I do- If Current needs money, I can see it, but a major corporate network?
Why would they allow something so creepy on their airwaves?
They certainly don't need the money!
