Maury Povich: We're Terrified of Flowers....Cotton....and Caterpillars.

Now I usually wouldn't discuss shows like this but this was just crazy. I know that people have phobias of things but it was sort of humorous to see people run from flowers and cotton and scream like little children. And the lady that was scared of aluminum foil. WTF? Caterpillars can be creepy but I can't see running from a dozen roses. What would Valentines Day be like if more women were afraid of flowers?

They had somebody on there one time that was afraid of mustard.

So they brought out a huge plate of yellow mustard, and sure enough, the person ran for the hills.

LOL! That person must stay miles away from a supermarket or a coney-islander.

Are you sure you didn't get that from Viva La Bam / CKY vids? Rake Yohn had issues with the stuff and they kept messing with him.

Do you guys really believe that the people on these shows actually behave that way in real life?

Yes! There is weird behavior out there for everything. I never thought that there would be someone who enjoys having a champagne bottle or baseball bat shoved in one of their orifices but there are.

I have a fear of Maury Povich episodes. Can I go on his show to run away from the episode being filmed on the monitor?

You mean he actually does shows that don't involve someone taking a praternity test?

When I used to watch Maury, he basically had about 7 different kinds of shows:

1) Paternity Tests/Lie Detectors
2) Controlling Husbands
3) Out Of Control Kids
2) Controlling Husbands
4) Fat Babies and Young Children
5) Pick Out The Cross Dresser (Where they have women and crossdressers come out in various outfits, getting the audience to make the call)
6) Various freak episodes (Fears, odd couples, etc.)
7) Various crazy videos

That's about all he does, though it's much better variety than say Springer, who just does the same stuff everyday now.

I always found it funny how these woman come on the show multiple times for the paternity test. One i think had like 20 possible fathers! Arent they a little embarrassed that the nation knows you're a big giant slut?

And the parents that bring their out of control teen girls. They're basically broadcasting to the world that there daughter is an easy lay. It's just gonna increase the number of older men that now know where they can get some underage chick willing to put out

Nothing has changed, that's still what's on the show today.

Part of me thinks a lot of this crap is staged.

I know people that have been on Springer posing as a fighting couple. They were sought out, recruited and coached as to how to act. In real life, they have no problem in their relationship and do not fight. It's all bullshit.

Springer at least finally admitted a lot of his show is "embellished"

Maury is more shameless.
