In the past year or so, Miss Cleo has come to dominate the psychic infomercial landscape. Miss Cleo is a sassy Jamaican mystic who in particular likes to read tarot cards in front of bluescreens with stars digitally composited onto them, in the old Jamaican Tarot tradition. Officially she is part of Psychic Readers Network, also known as Miss Cleo's Offshore Shell Corporation.

Miss Cleo has been mocked in the comic strip The Boondocks. God bless Master Tarot Psychic Miss Cleo for bringing us wisdom from her and her affiliates at a mere $3.99/minute.
