Ariyoshi Hiroiki cuts off fortune-telling shows, saying, “Those kinds of scams are broadcasting on terrestrial TV… aren’t they stupid?” 7/28 (Sun) 21:45 Sponichi Annex Comedian Ariyoshi Hiroiki (50) appeared live on JFN’s “Ariyoshi Hiroiki’s Sunday Night Dreamer” (Sundays 8:00pm) broadcast on the 28th, where he cut off fortune-telling shows. On this day, fortune-teller Shimada Shuhei appeared as a guest for the first time in about four years. Ariyoshi introduced him by saying, “He’s a rare fortune teller who admits that fortune telling is fraud,” and the studio erupted in laughter. When the topic turned to “fortune-telling shows,” he bluntly remarked, “It’s stupid that those kinds of scams are broadcast freely on terrestrial TV.” “I even ended up crying. “How did you know the rabbit was dead?’’ I thought to myself, are you stupid? (※The rest is omitted, please see the source website for the full text. ).
It’s so stupid to say “That’s right” when someone says something about you, like your personality or health. I feel like it’s because someone else is saying things about my personality or health that I already know. It applies to everyone.
I wholeheartedly agree. There’s a big rock at the entrance. How do you know? There are stars like that out there. Does that planet have rocks everywhere?
Fortune telling is okay if it’s just a bonus on a morning TV show. I think it can be effective in bringing about small changes in daily life. I also think having a one-on-one reading is fine if it gives a positive boost. However, TV productions that are full of occult predictions give the wrong impression that such powers exist in the world, which is a harm to society. There is even a possibility that they are a breeding ground for problematic cult religions to flourish.
I was wondering how many times she was going to say it, but it was Shimada’s guest episode. Shimada hasn’t been doing fortune telling work lately, has he?
There’s no doubt that one of the reasons why spiritual scams are so prevalent is because TV has given authority to fortune telling. Even though there are so many victims, there is still no awareness or remorse.
>>27 The Unification Church uses these simple fortune telling and name divination as a gateway I wonder what’s going on with compliance if they broadcast it on TV.
Well, it’s more of a teasing point for Shimada Shuhei, like Haraichi Iwai at the Kan-nana ramen shop. On the surface, he’s saying things that the other person doesn’t like, but on TV, it creates a funny story where he gets into an argument with the other person.
Fortune telling and the occult have been quiet for a while due to Aum Shinrikyo, but there are signs of a revival in the last few years. Learn the history.
>>42 In the early 90s, people would come up to you on the street and say, “I’m studying palmistry, so let me tell your fortune.” That was the entrance to being recruited into a fake religion.
