Welcome to another episode of Saturday Rewind where I post a blog from a past blogging platform! This blog was originally posted on April 16, 2008, on MySpace. Enjoy!
You know you have done it.
You are ashamed.
It’s like witnessing a train wreck.
But damn it, you continue to watch.
You know what I’m talking about.
The Maury Povich Show!
I know, I know. I am guilty too of watching Mr. Paternity in action, but I can’t help it. He had a show with a woman who was on her 8th show and prepping to test her 11th man.
11th man.
11th man.
WOW.
Even after 10 men and 8 appearances on the show she was still screaming how she’s “one million percent sure” about the test. In case you missed the show she heard:
“When it comes to 4 year old (enter baby’s name here), (enter number 11′s name here), YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER.”
-Love Maury Povich <– I added that
So WHY do people do it? Why would someone subject themselves to that kind of torture? That kind of embarrassment? What could be the motivation?
I took a little trip over to the DNA Diagnostic Center that does all the DNA tests for the Maury show and several other high profile cases and lo and behold I found the answer.
Mathematics of Maury
1 Mom, 1 Potential Father, 1 Child …… $475
10 Additional Potential Fathers …… $1195
8 Episodes with Expedited Results …… $4160
Total Costs for Show *…… $5830
*not including airfare, hotel, additional teeth
Watching this on the air:
PRICELESS
If Maury wanted to stop all this talk show business he could make a killing with these:
A little quirky, a little fun, a little serious, and very loud! I'm the voice behind the radio broadcast and writer behind this blog. I'm always on the lookout for something new, innovative, creative, fun, or just pisses me off... GAME ON! 
Looks like it works!! Alright!
