Yanks going to capture the Banshee

This actually made me speechless. It made breaking news so they must be serious as its not usually known for posting piss take news material.

edit: just watched a second of the show. It seems to be a loud american taking the piss out of foreign cultures for the american market.

There's certainly a touch of Darby O' Gill about it...

isnt that destination truth in carlow tomorrow night? they rang us looking for a medium last year - one apparently that didnt mind bending the truth. I could have swore i saw adverts for this on syfy (theres an online link somewhere to watch american syfy live) with clips out of it so I dont know how they can say its going to be 'live'.

and banshees? ducketts grove has a traditional story about a ghostly fox hunt, but thats all. Load of balls if you ask me.

I actually enjoy this show , although i do have to suspend disbelief to watch it. But there are some funny moments with the host.

They did Leprechauns 2 years ago. It was a funny episode .

The fact that Alison Scagliotti is tagging along should show you how serious these guys are (nothing against Alison, but she's an great actress on a Sci-fi show, but in this case Sci-fi show is the operative phrase; there's a reason for it being as such).

theres a 'banshee button' to click if you see a banshee at http://www.syfy.com/destinationtruth .

haha - they've apparently found a leprechauns house in the one they done two years ago - http://www.phstream.com/2010/10/syfy.html (live stream of syfy in the us)

Haha love it,what a hilarious program. I wonder how many clicks they got. I wouldnt be surprised if its alot :rolleyes:

they made up a completely new history for the place anyway - complete with banshee stories. looks like they even drafted in 'locals' from dublin as well to recount banshee stories. what a load of cock, as captain slow might say.

18-03-2011 3:46pm

ah its to be expected . Its all fun at the end of the day .

Riamfada · 18-03-2011 4:29pm

I missed it unfortunately. Anyone got a link?

maccored · 18-03-2011 4:34pm

it was four hours long - though Im sure it'll end up online somewhere. Frankly i thought it was 'have a laugh at the paddys' day.
