Respects peoples emotions when she agreed to go on that show? She is a joke. What did she think they were going to do?

She looks like she's lacking chicken in her diet and at one point sounds like she's laying an egg. Unfortunately, those sorts of phobias aren't specific to the US.

you will find these ppl actually go on the show to try and fix their fears.....

i've watched a lot of that maury povich.. and they bring the ppl on.. (torment them).. then have a recap at the end of the show.. showing how much these people have improved... (the shows supplies/pays for treatment of the phobia)

It's not like the kidnapped her, she wanted her 15 minutes of fame. It's just that 14min and 30sec of it was spent screaming like a mad woman.

She has a phobia, and you see fit to call her stupid. It's not like she sees a chicken and says I'll be scared of it. Its something deep in her mind, which she has no control over that forces her to react the way she does. Might sound stupid to you, and I am sure you have no phobia's. There is nothing in the world you are scared of. Remember only stupid people are scared of something.

Phobias are funny things. I seem to remember something about some people freaking out at the thought of a V6 replacing and I6 and even worse the thought of a turbo 6 being quicker than a V8.

Are those actual clinical phobias or just stupidity?

Can't remember where I saw this though............
