ASL and Dr. Phil by C.Nic & NicS

Permanent Linkby NicS on Thu Aug 23, 2012 12:27 am

We've started learning sign language.

-NicS

Not that you ######6 care. Also: ###$ Paul Ryan, and that asshole Todd Arkin who said that $#%^ about rape. ######6 conservative asshole. I get pissed when #####& say $#%^ like this because all I think of is poor Zack. But Zack doesn't like being seen as "poor Zack", and we won't have to be there in the first place if #####& like Rep. Todd Arkin would shut the ###$ up.

Also, we watched the episode of Dr. Phil on DID, or as they kept saying, "Multiple Personality Disorder". WE ######6 UPGRADED THE TERM. Do some research, you fat ###$. Even the description on our guide said "Dr. Phil talks to a woman with Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)." THEY CEMENTED THE OLD TERM SO ######6 MUCH THEY USED PARENTHESES. PARENTHESES!!!

Also, I have seen the "Dr. Phil" thread on the forum, and I know that the woman who was on the show has posted here. (http://www.psychforums.com/dissociative-identity/topic89501.html?hilit=Dr.%20Phil), but all I would want to say to her is you could not be any less convincing. Its not her fault, though. The entire show, I did not see a trigger or switch, just ASAP, one alter to the next. Granted, we can do that too, but there is a twitch or something every time. I did not see a twitch or anything, leading me to think that the editing on this was one of the worst I have seen in daytime since "The Talk" episode 207, Production #8008135. Now, granted, I work from 9 till 4:45 (except Wednesday and Monday), so I don't see a lot of daytime TV. I make exceptions, like game shows in the early morning or when the Aurora theater shooting happened? I laughed my ######6 ass off watching the Today show barley scrape together anything and call it news, then stall it out for 4 hours and loop the same grainy cell phone footage and picture of James Holmes 20 times after each commercial break finished. And from that I can deduce that daytime editors can let things slip.

But "The Price is Right" and "Lets Make a Deal" has some fantastic editing, and I know for a fact that filming these shows can take a ######6 while. They cut 2 hours down to 44 minutes, and its seamless. You'd never ######6 know that it was edited. That's what good editing is: knowing that $#%^ wasn't cut out, so that a story can form, when, in fact, $#%^ was cut out. You don't know it, though, because the $#%^ was cut out, and now all that's left is the good, quality stuff. With the theater shooting, it was playing the same $#%^ over and over again, cutting from Lauer to some poor #####& from the local NBC news affiliate trying to explain what an "apartment" is, to 2 minutes of a live feed of the ice rink at 30 Rock with all the flags waving but no sound (I wish I was ######6 kidding...) to insta-breaks, where they cut off whoever is ######6 talking to sell you Gold Bond, mid-sentence. That's #######5 editing, and when something like the theater shooting is happening, you need to keep it respectful. And by cutting from "12 confirmed dead, including 2 children" to "We consulted 3K doctors to try 5-Hour Energy" within a 10 second time frame, you are ######6 it up.

Same applies to Dr. Phil. Anyone with mental illness knows what tragedy is like. Would you want a fat ###$ to sit there in a suit 3x too small for his fat ass to condescend you because something happened in your past that you cannot remember, and now you have a mental illness you did not even want? I would swing a 2x4 at his head and go all Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs on his fat ass. I would even be open to TK killing him.

My point here is that when a show bills itself as "The #1 talkshow in daytime", that's a pretty big ######6 deal. Daytime, while not as big a market as Primetime or Late Night, is still a big ######6 market, hitting millions of homes on an hourly basis. You think, with viewership somewhere between 1-3 million viewers (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/08/07/syndicated-tv-ratings-big-bang-theory-and-judge-judy-tie-for-number-one-in-household-ratings-big-bang-on-top-in-total-viewers/144014/), they would ######6 try harder to maintain that fact-to-drama ratio. Y'know... for credibility and stuff... I guess. Or assume. But they don't. Unless it personally involves Dr. Phil and his wife Robin, they don't ######6 care about the guests. Its just "Get footage of stupid #####& ######6 things up, get them in the studio, and force change upon them". The reason they go this route is for the "Follow up" episode, where, a year or so later, they can say "LOOK AT THE $#%^ WE DID TO REPAIR THESE POOR #####&", when, in reality, it was either them figuring things out on their own or having help from a compassionate person who saw the show.

The Dr. Phil show is nothing more than an intermediary, or a bad councilor. They either point out the problem if the person doesn't see it, or they put the people in the spotlight, do some #######4, like sending the DID woman to Texas for some poison testing or whatever, and that's it. Now she either gets help from someone who saw the show and wants to help or she figures out the problem on her own. And since she is on these forums, I assume she is going for option two. Good for her, by the way. And if your reading this, welcome.

I will say that this thread here (http://www.psychforums.com/dissociative-identity/topic95784.html) saved my faith in PsychForums. Aw, you guys. You never let me the ###$ down. Thanks again, kids! I thought I was the only one thinking these things, and I felt horrible laughing my ass off during the show because I had read the woman's statement in the thread linked above, but now that I know I'm not the only one, sorry, but I thought the episode was ######6 hilarious because it was a poorly edited mess. I AM NOT SAYING IT WAS HER FAULT. I AM SAYING ###$ DR. PHIL.

Watcheroflights, your list amazed me. I think I love you now.

And remember: be sure to order the souflee early, as the chef needs extra time to prepare. See you next time, boobula!

-C.Nic

P.S.: Seriously, ###$ Paul Ryan. I'll tell you why...
