A Feng Shui master has been arrested for forging someone’s will – which is to say fraud not relating to telling people that putting the bed there will result in you getting rich, while putting it here will get you laid.

Feng Shui is an energy scam. What that means is that it all goes on some vague energy running through and around things so that your interior decorator can charge you more for moving your chairs. This energy of course, is largely undetectable by anybody but the woo practitioner.

This energy likes some shapes, dislikes others and generally comes with a sell-by-date so you have better direct it well. It is like chakras or crystal therapy for your house, with about as much scientific support.

It appeals to us because for one thing, getting in somebody with an eye for interior design will generally end up with a house that looks nice, and it’s a lazy way to success. We don’t want to earn our success; we want to get it by sitting in a good view of the TV.
