today is dr. phil day on oprah. enjoying dr. phil day is a deep dark guilty pleasure of mine. he's kind of a jerk. and i feel bad for the people on it airing their dirty laundry for the whole world to see, when they can't even tell each other these things in the privacy of their own homes. yet i watch. today was a follow up episode to one a month or so back- couples with a sexual problem of some sort. most are funny (or funny to me- not funny to the couples) but some are really bad. like a minister who cheated on his wife and spent no time with their kids and spent the family money on hotels with some young hot pants. that just seems so unforgivable. even dr. phil seemed to think it was hopeless and that the wife should be skipping town- but of course he has to help them work it out if that's what they want to do. watching this made a co-worker wish that dr. phil would get caught in some underground internet porn ring and it would end up ruining the faith of so many couples in america. like when the frugal gourmet got caught with the young boys in europe. no one's using his recipes anymore. oprah would have to make public statements and people who he had helped would wonder "maybe he didn't know what he was talking about since he was taking photos of naked 13 year old boys- maybe my marriage is a sham" and the divorce rate would sky rocket. and oprah would have to pay for the pain and suffering of so many people. it would be a national scandal. please dr. phil, don't do what so many t.v. men have done before you. please let my faith in you remain justified. or at least properly erase your exploits from your hard drive. deleting something does not necessarily mean it is deleted! words to live by. |
