Have you seen the website? Its basically like Jerry Springer, but with the premise that he's "helping" people. They have a list of types of people they are looking for to be on the show, which includes "Wish You Could Spy on Teen Daughter?"
"Know a Slacker Wife? Want Her to Step it up?"
well that what DR. phil exactly is! Jerry springer jsut with some icing on top of the cake!
meaning - no fights. no bodyguards, because mr. Phil can fix it all by himself!

Dr. Phil is a snake-oil selling tool.

Whaa??? Hereditary?? Now that is just straight up ignorant. The gay gene bwahahaha. Lets make sure thats on the list of undesirable traits we pick to rid our designer babies of. Lordy...
Gay men's brain scans (which shows brain activity and active areas) are more similar to women's than to straight men's. This clearly shows that it isn't a choice, it is a trait you are born with.
This isn't BS I was a Biology major for 4 years. Professional college student of 8+ years here! :smiley_ne

Well, me too. At least if I'd ever give him any credence. I dismiss Dr. Phil's psychological advice because I think of him first and foremost as an entertainer. His schtick is creating sexy television;
-Ev
I think were forgetting that despite all of Dr Phil's noble intentions, and as has been pointed out his professional duty, his greater duty is to the TV exec's who decide whether his contract will be renewed.
Dr Phil is watched (predominately) by married suburban mothers
Married suburban mothers with time to watch Phil don't like strippers
=
Phill doesn't like strippers.
Seriously these people aren't watching Phill because they really want physchological help or advice. If they wanted that they would go and see a qualified proffesional able to help them. They are watching this show because Phill panders to there ridiculous neeed to maintain the status quo and not actually QUESTION anything in their lives. Phill is populism at its most basic-give the masses what they want.
And what the (majority) audience of this show wants to know is that stripping is a big bad horrible world that's morally corrupt, thereby justifying their decision to bake and wait for at home for hubby.
Not to mention hubby is probably off at said strip club...
I mean can you imagine Phill telling the desperate houswives that strippers are just like them, making a living, going to school etc?
Can anyone say RATINGS SUICIDE?
Puhhlease..... Phill's not there to give impartial, helpfull advice. He's there to make money by pandering to his audience!

True, but it isn't proven to actually be hereditary. The hypothalmus response to male/female pheramones is what causes the sexual attraction, but there's no proof of that being passed on through family... yet. :P

Okay, I hate when people post in all caps, but this needs to be said
DR PHILS SON IS MARRIED TO A DAMN PLAYMATE!! A PLAYBOY BUNNY!! PORNOGRAPHY
So where does he get off saying SHIT about strippers when his son is all high and mighty on the show all the time??????????
Hyp-o-crite!
My reason for this thread wasn't to blast his credentials. He is no less qualified to be a psychologist than most, but by being on TV, he has a management team and consultants who are more worried about the show's image to the conservative do gooder public, than in expressing open minded opinions that may alienate traditional valued people.
I just feel that voicing opposition to issues that conservatives oppose is a bad thing to do as it alienates liberal people like us. He has got to remain neutral.
He could have aired that show without having a stripper wife on it, or by ignoring the type of work she does, and focusing on bringing her and her husband back together.
Of course TV stations do not want to appear to condone non-traditional lifestyles, and that is the problem.

Funny how the "moral" people who would starve and watch their children die horribly rather than strip, are the ones whoe have NEVER (AND WILL NEVER) be in that situation.
You took the words right outta my mouth.....same goes for receiving welfare and food stamps. The richy-righteous-retards are always ready to condemn...but that's another discussion.
It never ceases to amaze me!

Dr. Phil is an A**hole. He didn't "imply" that strippers turned tricks. He stated it as fact! He used the derogatory term "hookers" interchangeably with "strippers". He called the crack addict (the guy with the actual problem, hello!) naieve for not believeing that the strippers were, in fact, with out question, performing sex acts in the VIP. He also went off on some tangent calling the strippers "drug mules" with out any sort of evidence to back it up.
Dr. Phil was talking out of his ass. I wish someone would post the transcript from that show just so I can have a good laugh. Even though he will forever be a moron in my eyes because of his fucking ignorance, I am happy that all of his sheepish crazy followers will keep their sheltered daughters from becoming strippers. Yay, more $$$ for us!
