Maury Povich Daytime talk show

[betts4]

Staying home sick today was okay till I sat with my warm tea and laptop and turned on the TV.

Maury Povich is there with some guys (16 yr old guys) that are talking about how their women (16 yr old girls) are 'their women' and must take the verbal and physical abuse and the rules that these guys set. Don't shower till I come home or I know you been cheatin, don't get out of bed before me in the morning, don't look at other men when we are in the car, don't look in the mirror - you are my b*tch it don't matter what you look like anymore.

I am getting sick.

How much of all this is just show and how much is truth? I could tell easier on Jerry Springer. Maury sounds so sincere about it all. I can only hope that someone beats the crap out of these boys.

I am going to see what is on some other channels.

I think the people are probably real and not actors, although you can tell A LOT of coaching goes on.

They seperated the couples, sent them off for some 1 day rehab...haha...and then asked 'after this, which couples broke up'. I hope all of them but we will see.

Yeah, I am bored, sick at home and tired of doing nothing.

I have this show on sometimes, and I have to tell you, the whole thing often looks like theater.
On an unrelated side note, I never knew there were so many "Judge <name>" shows on during the day.

I watch a LOT of total and utter crap, particularly during the day, but even I have a hard time watching Maury (and don't even try very often.)

I have an auto-record wishlist for "Maury" and "paternity". After the thirteenth paternity test, it does get funny.

"It can't be anybody else Maury. It's got to be him."

Plus, they seem to polish the hell out of the back stage area, so when the results inevitably come back negative, the "baby mama" takes a spill.

You probably would not believe how many women choose to be in these types or relationships. Google "Total Power Exchange" relationships

Barf!!! I get bored if I have to stay home. Lets pretend I have nothing recorded on my Tivo and my DVD player is busted and the internet is not working. and someone stole my Wii. (and I suddenly became unable to read) I would watch MSNBC or some other news show all day long.

[YCantAngieRead]

Yikes. That sounds more depressing than Maury.

I enjoy about half the court shows on during the day, so that's generally what I have on in the background while I'm doing other stuff.
