Phony Phil full of Hot Air

 Cody Flores, staff writer

Dr. Phil McGraw is nothing but a windbag.

More and more people are looking to this sap for advice, and it really shows how low some will sink to get help in their worthless lives.

They say not to judge a book by its cover, but in this case, let’s make an exception. This man can’t help people. He looks like he should be on a street corner selling hot dogs and wearing a funny hat. He sounds like a redneck hayseed who just likes to hear himself talk. He is a hack and a hypocrite.

This man doesn’t care about the people who he pretends to help. He is on TV. That’s all that matters. A real professional who wants to help his patients knows displaying their weaknesses on television wouldn’t be the best thing to do.

This man is not smart and doesn’t know what’s going on. But when you have, Oprah Winfrey, the most powerful woman in the world, on your side, it’s going to look like you know what you’re doing. Being Oprah’s buddy is what has launched this idiot to where he is now.

This sap gets paid the big bucks to tell people things like, “You don't need a rope to pinch a stranger's butt,” and “You don't need a pack of wild horses to learn how to make a sandwich.” Gee, thanks Phil. But cute one-liners won’t help my drug problem. Sorry to disappoint, but my wife and I won’t get back together when we get advice like, "You don't need stain-resistant pants to pop a blister." What? Is he being serious or funny? I can’t tell. He just serves people either slop or common sense. His advice has no deep thought or intelligence. At least sugarcoat your trash with big fancy words or something Phil. Come on!

And another thing, you can’t sell a weight-loss book when you need to drop a few pounds yourself. That’s like Mike Tyson selling encyclopedias or Snoop Dogg telling me about the dangers of marijuana. This rather robust man is telling me how to lose weight? He has even tried to sell people weight-loss products, which has brought on several lawsuits, claiming that this product is a complete load. Just like the man selling it, a complete load. When people buy into hacks like this, it really shows how dumb we can really be.

We don’t need guys like this polluting the television. If he’s going to give out worthless advice to feel better about himself, he should do it in private.
