Dr. Phil Sued Over More Perfect Crimes
Remember last week when Dr. Phil got sued for the perfect crime? Well apparently that's like his thing now, because another woman is suing him for the same reasons. He loves it. From TMZ:
Another woman has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Phil -- claiming she too was forced to be in the same room with a "completely naked man, who was exposing his entire naked body, genitals and all."The lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court by a woman named Crystal Matchett, is basically the same as the one filed by Shirley Dieu last week -- with one exception ... Crystal never accuses Dr. Phil of grabbing her boob.
So, Crystal not accusing Dr. Phil of grabbing "her boob" (TMZ: important journalism) is the only exception? That means that Crystal Matchett is following in Shirley Dieu's legal footsteps and claiming that Dr. Phil "subjected [her] to edited tapings depicting her as a different personality than her own"? Because I am really hoping that someone will finally explain to me what that even means. I know I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know all of the magical law spells, but that is seriously some of the nonsensiest nonsense ever. OVERRULED!
In any case, I've said it before, and I will apparently say it again: I'm sure these women's cases will hold up in court since nothing seems more likely than that a fraudulent blowhard TV doctor making millions of dollars would risk it all in order to hold a woman involuntarily in his Hollywood office and force her to look at a man without any clothes on. IT SIMPLY MAKES THE MOST SENSE.

The taped-altered-self-personality-bonanza was probably just Flight of the Navigator on the green room television. If that's the case, I know exactly what this lady is talking about.

If I were a legal wizard, I'd be shouting "Accio Dismisso" on the grounds that the accused is clearly too awshucksy and gentlebensy to be guilty of anything but southern-fried friendliness in the first degree.

Am I then the only one who would be totally unsurprised to find out Dr. Phil is some kind of sick fuck?

In my experience, edited tapings depicting you as a personality different than your own is usually footage of you peeing for ten minutes.

I don't know, Dr. Phil just seems so reputable.
In other news, i tried to comment on the Lawnmower Man post, but it too is in a 404 black hole! I like to think of the Lawnmower Man literally being "in the machine," running around, messing things up. You know, like in Ghost in the Machine, or Pulse.
I have seen too many bad movies. I need a Dr. Phil naked-dude-mind-scrub.
