Maury Povitch Tortures Woman With Painful Cotton Ball Phobia

This morning, Maury aired one of the weirdest episodes of the past decade, and, considering the show's usual subject matter, that's saying a lot. Today, the guests were all women with strange phobias, like being afraid of Jell-O, chicken, and cotton balls. Instead of helping these women or having a psychologist talk to them, Maury and his audience laughed at them, and Maury went to extremes to torture them. For example, Carolyn, a woman who is deathly afraid of cotton balls, has had a recurring nightmare for most of her life about a man made of cotton balls who tries to kill her. So Mo had two guys dress up in cotton ball costumes and chase her around the studio. Here's a tip for Carolyn should anyone try this again: spray the cotton ball men with a hose. They'll absorb all the water and hopefully fall down, and you can then commence kicking them in the cotton-less balls. Clip above.

14-Year-Old Girl Trades Sex For Bacon Double Cheeseburger, Has No Regrets

The clip above would be way more hilarious if this girl were a Tracy Morgan character or something, but you know, it's real, so it's sorta like, sad. But either way, it's amazing. Angelique is a 14-year-old girl who's been having sex since she was 11, and is apparently a hooker. She went on the Maury Povich show yesterday to explain that she's confident in the way she looks, loves her lifestyle, will beat the shit out of anyone who doesn't agree with her, and brags about how she has had sex for a bacon double cheeseburger. Thanks to Molly for catching this one!

Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Good Grief! Amanda Lepore just turned up on Maury, bemusing the audience with the fact that "Amanda was born a man, broke a rib to make her waist smaller and has a doll named after her!"

Sadly, despite telling Maury she's all woman, it doesn't look like she going to drag five men on stage and demand they prove they're not the father of her child.
