Remember this guy? He's back trying to sell his woo. Don't let him.

Westtown, New York (CNN)Virginia Brown is blunt about the way her daughter died.
"She was cooked to death," Brown said. "This beautiful woman who was drunk on life and had friends all over."

Kirby Brown, 38, was among three people who died after entering a sweat lodge during a self-help retreat outside Sedona, Arizona in 2009. James Arthur Ray, then a prominent figure in the self-help industry, was overseeing the retreat.

Courtroom testimony alleged that instead of answering some participants' pleas for help, Ray pushed them further, encouraging them to tough out the sweltering conditions as part of a rebirthing process that would transform their lives.

Ray was convicted of negligent homicide and sentenced to six years in prison -- two for each victim. A judge allowed the sentence to be served concurrently, meaning Ray would serve two years. He ended up serving 20 months.

Jim Jones
He is a fucking creek and drunk on his own power and thinks he should be allowed to kill more people

2. Ray needs to find a different culture to rip off

and peddle to gullible seekers, something with less lethal consequences when an ignorant moron does it wrong.

3. CNN recently did a nice video report on real Sweat Lodge ways

Pretty good job for CNN.
