This Girl Is Really In A... Predicament

I don't make a habit of watching Maury Povich, but I suspect this has to be one of the weirder things he ever featured on his show:



Let's set aside for a moment the very strong possibility that this girl could be an actor and that the whole thing is staged. If it's actually real, then how big a bastard is Maury Povich?

He has this girl sitting with a giant screen TV immediately to her right, showing images of the pickles she's deathly terrified of.

He forced her to go to pickle factory so they could video tape her reaction.

He mocks her for shaking in her seat.

He basically goads the audience into laughing at her as she flees the stage.

In short, Maury Povich is a total bastard!

Officially...
WHAT.
THE.
FRELL.

Scared to death of pickles? What, did she watch one too many bad fetish porn or Girls Gone Wild flicks or something? And what total jerk producer thinks that this is a good idea for an hour?

I'm amazed it isn't sweeps type material. Oh, right. That's saved for confronting your dad who has become a transvestite Rockette who can whistle Dixieland with his left nostril alone.

That's it. I'm out of here. Maury has claimed 2 too many brain cells from me with this... :P

He's a total git if she is genuinely afraid of pickles. I'm not going to mock this as I know of irrational fears that seem very strange - Billy Bob Thornton has a fear of antiques IIRC - but this just isn't entertainment any more than witch burning or bear baiting.

When I say no pickles on my hamburger I mean no fuckin' pickles. Got it.

I sure hope they made that up. if not, she should be suing his bastard ass. even if they did make it up, he still looked like a total school bully.

She was the actor that was so desperate that she said, "Yes!" to the question, "Could you even act like you were terrified of PICKLES???"

Reality TV is not real. It's just lame actors badly photographed, and it's still scripted. That's how Taylor Hicks won.
