At least Oz was an accomplished heart surgeon before he turned to grifting. This guy can't even claim that much.

I hope he dies alone and penniless.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 4 hours ago

just like tim allens anti-woke show that never made headlines, and jerry seinfeld with his wierd commercial.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

Welp, that was inevitable.

I hope Dr. Phil ends up with incurable syphilis of the taint.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 4 hours ago

he should go to MEMHET OZ for some snakesoil cure.

Woke = compassion. GQP hates compassion.

It's my hope that Dr. Phil eats a shotgun as he pulls the trigger.

I don't have compassion for the GQP/Trump-ers/MAGAts, I wish them the worst, and I'll do my part to deliver before I'm deported/imprisoned.

woke= anything conservatives doesnt like that makes them uncomfortable, usually around bigotry ,race, gender, poc not following thier "social norms"/. most profound in cinema, movies/shows.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 9 hours ago

Didn't you know that compassion has no place in "Christian" America?

Oprah unleashed a lot of harm

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I wonder if she feels any shame

Fuck Phil McGraw. He's a dumb prick who actively makes the world a worse place with his bottom of the barrel trashy TV shows.

Good news.

You mean dr. Phil the guy who invented the bum fights video series back in the early 2000s?

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 25 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

There's zero reason to take credit away from the bum fights guy for his own brand of trash, but you can definitely say you mean Dr. Phil, the guy who saw profit and value in doing a bit with the bum fights guy for views.

[–] Whiskey_iicarus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You are correct. They are equal parts trash, one just had a national TV show he spewed his "folksy" wisdom on.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 hours ago

They both exploit desperate people for profit, but one of them is honest about doing so. The other one is just misery porn camouflaged as therapy.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I agree but that's not his worst evil on our society. It's the torture camps he sent kids to and promoted.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 5 points 13 hours ago

It's shocking just how evil normal every day things are. We gotta shut down all those camps

[–] Zier@fedia.io 11 points 11 hours ago

May he rot in the hell he believes in.

The Daily Wire (bssically Ben Shapiro)'s streaming service/movie production branch is also going financially tits up lately.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

he also harbored gina caranos anti-woke, pro conservative movie once.

Don't forget ladyballers, which was originally supposed to be a basically 'opinionated' documentar, where just some of the gang try to sign up for an actual, realworld basketball league, as women.

This original concept of the movie was scrapped after they were told they would all have to actually start on HRT and progress to the point that their metabolic panels came back showing they were now within whatever parameters that local/minor league used as their definition of 'sufficiently transitioned', and none of the crew/actors would do it.

So, they made it into a fucking terrible 'comedy' movie instead.

Shapiro is on camera admitting this, laughing the whole time, utterly missing the fact that... that this happened basically destroys 99% of the 'facts and logic' he uses to generate his rhetoric regarding trans folks.

Hopefully, this caused a lot of personal financial harm for him.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 22 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

And stress on his cardiac muscles.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

And stress on his cardiac muscles.

I like the sentiment, but I'm not certain that he has a heart.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

That's why I used different words 🤪🤪

[–] auraithx@piefed.social 34 points 15 hours ago

Gotta be real embarrassing to have your anti woke crusade fail in this climate.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Not woke, go broke.
