Send me your money, you might as well

OK, just seen this on the
BBC's website.
A production company is charging people $9.95 to
see a programme in which they're going to have a
seance to get in touch with John Lennon.
I have a few points about this. First, it won't work; if you must waste your money there are better causes or I'll take it and squander it quite happily - I'll fail to put you in touch with Lennon just like the producers will.
Second, what if somehow it worked? What's he going to say? 'Yeah, I know I've been gone over 25 years but I've been writing these songs just in case, and what's an iPod?'
Don't get me wrong, I'm as dismayed as anyone outside his own circle of friends and family that Lennon died so early. But I really don't understand why people are falling for this, or indeed what they think an entertainer who hasn't been around for a quarter of a century would have to say in public about the world in 2006.
