Whilst I was cleaning up around the house and heating up leftovers for dinner, I couldn't help but watch a bit of Dr. Phil.
Yes, I know. I've already bitch-slapped myself and told me to never do that again.
Anyways, Dr. Phil apparently went back to the stone age and found three lunkheads who had three wives who were all on the verge of divorce. In a "last ditch" effort to save the marriage, the men agreed to go to something called "Man Camp."
There's Scott -- who threw a temper tantrum when he had to clean a house that was obviously kept by an Obsessive-Compulsive shut in (dishes everywhere, dirt all over the place -- imagine the worst your place has ever been, then times that by a googleplex). And sad-sack Nic, who told his wife that he wished she had aborted their two kids. But the king of the crop was John, who believes he's superior to all women and also emotionally abuses his wife. Nice.
Of course I'm still puzzled about why the guys had to clean a completely trashed house. Is this some version of Taming of the Shrew therapy they didn't cover in my Psych 101 class?
My only thought is -- where the hell do they get these people? And why the hell would you put up with such asinine behavior?
Wow. The only thing missing was gaps in the teeth, chairs being thrown and chants of "JERRY! JERRY!"
Now, if you don't mind me, I'm going to wander of and write 500 times "I will never watch Dr. Phil again."

You know, I've heard Dr. Phil say a few things that were really insiteful... but usually I think what comes out of his mouth is manipulative crap. It also sounds to me like he's 1) caving to trash ratings boosting and 2) fooling himself that he shouldn't just tell those couples they'd be happier as singles.
