Dr. Phil screws the pooch again

April 14th, 2008 // 48 Comments

Dr. Phil tried to score himself some “exclusivity” this weekend after shooting himself in the foot with the Britney Spears fiasco. But life must hate the Phil because this attempt fired yet another bullet into his hoofer. You see, Satan’s doctor wanted an exclusive interview with one of the eight teens that lured a 16-year-old girl into a house where she was beaten on camera (CBS4 report here.) The motive: Make a killer You-Tube video that their friends would OMGZ! over. (One vasectomy, please!) Anyway, here’s how Dr. Phil’s producer botched their “exclusivity,” according to TMZ:

Here’s the way it all went down: The good Doc’s executive staff sent a seasoned producer down to Florida, along with a P.A. to chase the story of 8 teens who allegedly beat a classmate on tape. We’re told the folks back home were horrified when they saw Mr. Large-and-In-Charge putting the smack down on local reporters after springing 17-year-old Mercades Nichols from the pokey. We’re told execs on the show were pissed that the experienced producer allowed the P.A. to be in a position to embarrass the show in front of the cameras.
The bigger question — who hatched the plan to pay the bail for the woman accused of kidnapping and videotaping the brutal beating? The show issued a statement saying certain staff members “went beyond their guidelines,” but the buzz on the Paramount lot is that it would be impossible for the producer to pay the $3,300 for the bail and put up $33,000 in collateral without the full knowledge and approval of higher-ups on the show.

The best part is, after all these shenanigans, there’s a gag order on the case so none of the kids could’ve talked anyway. HA! Now Dr. Phil just looks like an opportunistic butthole. Well, more so than usual. In the meantime, someone told me that children are the future. Super. Does anyone have a shotgun I can borrow? I just want to fire it into my ear canal for a second. You can have it right back.

    The desire for fame and fortune has turned many a professionals into a sensational hungry savage – always on the lookout for shock stories

    There is a constant need to one up the competition

    Just imagine the news media during the next decade at the rate we are going

    Is it too much to hope for that some of this shit might splash on Oprah, who’s responsible for foisting that twangin’ mustached butthole on us in the first place?
    And these little bitches could really do with a stint in juvie hall rather than being bailed out. Hell, I’d pay $33K just to see ‘em on the receiving end of a smackdown. 8 against 1, nice odds, cunts.

    So, if I post bail for a (likely) uppity snotty teen bitch who participated in the beating of another teen for thrills just so I can let her “tell her story” and talk to her on TV under the guise of “helping” her, I can get a free pass from the media too? They’ll just place the blame on the production company/tv studio my show is broadcast on and I avoid most of the blame?? Plus I get millions of dollars? Awesome!

    “In the meantime, someone told me that children are the future. Super. Does anyone have a shotgun I can borrow?”

    Ditto!!!! And by the sounds of it, the parent of one of the girls is a complete Lohan. Soon enough, she’ll have her daughter running the talk circuit – and if it’s a gag order, she’ll do it herself.

    Sad. Pathetic. Trash. Trash. Trash.

    Yo Superficial: I love it when you let your propensity for intelligence slip through your posts. You should start a new blog titled “I Think Clearly About Stuff”…I would read on a regular basis.

    Unlike some other sites, I like that there is intelligence in there…and by intelligence, I mean (fill in the blank, at will).

    Cheers.

    I’ve seen exactly 10 minutes of this guy’s show. I’m astounded that anyone managed to sit through more than that. In fact I feel kind of stupid for having tolerated that ten minutes’ worth. It was like watching a train wreck, and that sad reasoning is the only excuse I have. This man is a symptom of a society in desperate need of quiet time. People need to remember how to think for themselves and maybe that might happen if we quit turning to mealomaniacs like Phil the blowhard and Laura the delusional to do our thinking for us. Life isn’t easy. There are no easy answers. And Oprah and anyone else who tells you that your life wil be better if you just DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU is lying to you. People would be better off in the self-help section of a bookstore actually doing some reading for themselves. At least there you’re left to confront your own thoughts about what the author’s saying rather than swallowing whole the emotional manipulation that happens while watching an audience respond to the drivel and tripe that slides out of these peoples’ lips.
