Wes Barker has been getting a crazy amount of publicity lately. iTricks has been skipping more stories about him than we have been running.

The New Zealand version of Stuff took a skeptical look at Uri Geller in an interview with the alleged psychic and spy before the documentary The Secret Life Of Uri Geller airs in the country.
