I picked up a story in the Livejournal community Customers_suck that would fit very well on the blog:

Sylvia Browne called me a WHAT???
by Bird on a Wing
So, I wandered up to a woman poking around in the New Age section and did the standard Friendly Store Girl routine. She was holding this book (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Astrology-Through-a-Psychics-Eyes-Sylvia-Browne/9781561707201-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527astrology+psych ic+browne%2527&sterm=astrology+psychic+browne+-+Books), and asked me what my sign was.
I don't really beleive in horoscopes, but I don't mind sitting still for the occasional fortune-telling New Age enthusiast in the bookstore. Results have ranged from thought-provoking to downright hilarious. So I told her I'm a Virgo and stood there patiently while she flipped through the book...
...punchline omitted...
Unpleasant as this incident was, however, I've got to admit that I'm amused by the notion that having one's promiscuity spelled out in the heavens would give an entirely new meaning to the term "porn star"... and I'll bet that woman was a Taurus. Because...
...yup, you guessed it. She was entirely full of bull.
The comment threads are sadly appaling though. People actually discussing astrology instead of outright pointing and laughing.
;)
