Finally, someone blows the whistle on Big Dr. Phil. From AOL News:
LOS ANGELES (March 24) — A shoplifting case that began with a televised confession on the “Dr. Phil” show led a San Diego judge Monday to condemn TV personality Phil McGraw as “a terrible, terrible man” and “a charlatan.”
District Court Judge Irma Gonzalez unloaded on Dr. Phil as she sentenced a couple to prison for running a $100,000 shoplifting ring in which they used their three young children as decoys, and sold the stolen merchandise through Web sites. The couple discussed their exploits on a “Dr. Phil” episode, “Shoplifting Confessions,” in November 2008.
The Eatons went on the TV show to get help ending their compulsion to shoplift, but show officials pressed them to exaggerate their exploits, their lawyer told the court, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. The couple brought along a home video of one of their trips, using the children to distract store clerks, and seemed more interested in bragging than in getting help giving up their livelihood, according to earlier reports.
“What a charlatan this man is,” the judge was quoted as saying during the sentencing. “What a terrible, terrible man.”
SUSTAINED. Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew should open a private practice together at the bottom of the ocean. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to rush a new cover story through proofing before we put out next month’s issue of Duh Aficionado magazine.

It’s times like these that make me think going to law school wasn’t a completely terrible decision. These times are very few.
I shaved my mustache off because of this guy. What a jag
TEAM IRMA 4eva.
If Dr. Drew opens a practice on the bottom of the ocean, it’ll be 6 months, tops, before VH1 starts airing ‘Krill Rehab with Dr. Drew’ on Wednesday nights at 8.
“My husband barely has the time to float aimlessly with me through the water anymore.” I was going to make a krill joke, but I have no idea what krill eat.
Krill eat whales. I’m almost certain of that.
I’m pretty sure they use photosynthesis and/or eat other tiny organisms.
like Superman.
krill eat Plankton
and Plankton eats Holographic Meatloaf.
(true story)
It’ll star Jeff Cona-Bay, Daniel Bald-Fin, Tide-y Fleiss, and Tom Size-Shore.
Next week on Mr. Phil, we’ll meet a man whose life has changed for the better. Now, he can finally take his medication due to a new breakthrough in medical care – GlowCaps.
i had to google charlatan because i had no idea what it meant.
my college education seems like a waste of money at times.
That word always reminds me of Charlie Chaplin.
i’d give dr. drew a “get out of underwater psychiatry practive jail free card” if he’s willing to lure dr. laura down there.
Um, what? They thought they were going to get help by confessing on national TV and SHOWING VIDEO OF THEIR LOOT? Really? Dr. Phil may be a charlatan (doy), but I can’t help feeling happy these stupid, horrible, famewhoring parents are going to jail.
“What a terrible, terrible man.” Law School, yes, but also a degree in Videogum, amirite?
Why can’t I post pictures? I went to college, damnit!
Just post the url with no coding.
The most shocking part of this story is that you found it via AOL News! Because that is a thing that exists, apparently. Did I fall in a wormhole? Am I in a chatroom?
