There's stupid, and there's this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23986595 This quote really made my day: "The girls believe that the UK in particular is a hotbed for "witchcraft" because of the popularity of J K Rowling's Harry Potter books.The spells and things that you're reading in the Harry Potter books, those aren't just something that are made up, those are actual spells. Those are things that came from witchcraft books, says Tess." The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity.

"With going [to] over 20 countries and stuff, I don't really have time to go to school, but I'll just sit at my desk and work on calculus or read all my books," she says. "This is so much better than going to a stinky old school room."
Shoot me, I give up How can things like that be real?

Unfortunately the world seems to be full of these sort of people. The fact that they get media coverage astounds me.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Based on their blocks (in the first video) I find the claim of black belts far more offensive than that of exorcist, ...but their striking combos looked okay, so maybe that's fine.
As for the rest, it looks to me like they are highly successful bizarrists. I thought that second video was great and has me thinking in terms of mentalism, stage hypnosis, seance, audience compliance and even NLP and Core transformation; there is a lot to be looked at here, IMO. I also don't think the teen thing is an issue (except as a highly effective gimmick). Lulu Hearst was young I think (I don't remember), and the Fox sisters were pre-teens when they started. There is a long tradition of young children being used as gateways to the spirit world and sources of spiritual illumination. And of course, if any bizarrist doesn't already know who Bob Larson is, ...you really need to look him up. Listen to his radio show (is it still on?) it's great. He's debated every major member of the Church of Satan over the years, multiple times often, and both sides really seem to love getting into it with each other. EDIT: If you can sit and read calculus then (I personally and oh so humbly believe) you don't need high school. Self study and seeing the world offer far more. That's not a guarantee that you'll get anything out of them, but a lot of people who go through high school don't seem to get much out of it either.
