Does any one like talk shows? I think there
should be a law against baby daddy shows. I
was watching this talk show a while back
called the Maury Povich show. It was a show
where Maury exploited, I mean helped poor
people find out who the baby's daddy is. It's
funny because all the shows play out the same
way, it's just a different cast every show.
Whenever the people learn that the guy is the
baby's daddy. The big woman stands up and
yells into the baby's daddy's face then the
baby's daddy stands up and runs off the
stage. Now when the so called baby's daddy
finds out he isn't the father this is when it
gets good. Cause then the three hundred pound
woman musters all her strength to stand up and
runs at an incredible speed I might add off
the stage. Then the person she thought was
the babies daddy stands proudly and celebrates
his biggest achievement to date not being the
baby's daddy, as he proclaims he knew all the
time that he wasn't that baby's daddy. Then
Maury who is looking out for the mother's best
interest brings the mom out for more
humiliation and the promise to find the baby's
daddy no matter how many even if we have to
bring in the whole football team. The woman
should say thanks for caring, how bout we do
the next one off the air. What does a person
think before going on this baby daddy roller
coaster. On one hand I got humiliation
embarrassment, possibly being disowned by my
family and friends and a one night stay at a
hotel with a free meal. On the other hand a
three hundred dollar paternity test. Hmm? I
guess I'll do the Maury baby's daddy show.

mikewormack,
yeah i have seen the same shows an its not only Maury but others that are but i noticed that Maury is into these shows amlost exclusively....so i guess they make money for the tv station.....yeah its sad when the woman dont know who the babys daddy is.......but even sadder when the guy jumps around like he just scored a touchdown when he finds out he aint the babys daddy......i mean to find out for sure is fine......do that and be a man ...the only good thing about this is that they find out for sure.......an you can see the liars in the women an the men....so it goes both ways....an sometimes when the guy finds out for sure.......he is then he changes an accepts the baby...that is kool...i just hope he does that forever and not just for the show

I think it's great when talk show host make money, that's America. I just don't like it when poor people are taken advantage of, there is a tactful way to get out the same imformation. If we accept the fact that poor people are exploited for this, then how far are we prepared to go as a society. Bumfights would be popular on television, seeing a homeless person riding a buggy down a step hill to a couple broken arms may be fun for a viewer, but what about the poor guy who didn't have the common sense to say, no way, I ain't doing some dumb shit like that. The people who go on the show for this systematic humiliation, what happens to them after the show is over, what happens to the child who has to live with this experience, growing up poor is hard enough without people carring this extra baggage. Me personally, if I had to make money by exploiting someone else, then I won't make money. Money is great, but it's no substitute for dignity or self respect mother fucker. No offense, I just threw the mother fucker in there out of respect for the man Richard Pryor it sounds like something he might say.

Peace

mikewormack,
yeah i know what you mean.....shows like jackass an other shows are way to stupid to be kool......but people do that kind of stuff......i watched some shows that filmed things like the daredevil crap....and its okay but what about the poor daredevil that does moronic stuff for nothing.....like the skateboarder crap.....i seen one guy that broke his wrist....his mom took him to the doctor an he was back out there thirty minutes after he broke it.....skateboarding again...tryin to skate on the iron bar inbetween concrete steps......well he would jump up an onto them an try to slide down them.....he broke his other wrist.......an was back out there skateboarding an doin the same thing again....now he is one moron......somethin wrong with his brain
