That was how it begin, back in March 2005 — we innocently decided to take self-proclaimed medium and real-life media whore Allison DuBois to task for her constant stream of bullshit and hypocritical vitriol. Little did we know that we would soon become something of a resource for those looking for the real scoop on Allison.
The first five Rants below represent our original Allison DuBois Week series — an in-depth look at Allison's unsubstantiated and, in some cases, firmly refuted claims. After those original posts, we have also included a variety of related Rants that were motivated either by comments we received on our DuBois Rants, or by the further adventures of Allison herself.
