This morning I stumbled upon a blog post that had YouTube clips of The Maury Show where he had different people on that had really strange phobias. Things like pickles, balloons, mustard, and peaches. Like REALLY afraid, not just dislike. Click the link to view the weird phobias.

Granted, the people could have been faking (maybe they’re acting students or something), but the people on the show certainly weren’t trying to help them. They were just trying to get the audience to laugh at them about it. Oh, and then “thank you for being brave enough to confront your fear and be on our show.”

You know, this is just a modern-day version of the old-time carnivals, where people paid money to see “freaks.” Not really any difference, is there?
