Fortune Favors the Told

I hate to poach from JWT on this as it takes place in his beloved Bethesda, where a fortune teller fights to legitimize his business. However, I sensed he would not take umbrage; I'm empathic like that.

While fraud is a serious issue and should be dealt with to the extent possible, fortune telling does not meet the definition. If it did, there would be a spectacular series of class-action suits filed against stock-issuing companies, although maybe they would counter with the Evil Eye or something.

I digress. My main point here is that I get to close this post with a Sparks video.
