#*i found this pack of jewelry making beads that i must have gotten like 15 years ago and never opened it

[firelord-frowny]

i often binge watch dr phil on youtube while i draw/paint/knit/sort beads*/etc and it is SOOOO FUNNY TO MEEEEE when people complain about how he ~always finds a reason to plug the books he's written~

????????????? like literally

what kind of idiot WOULDN'T advertise their own book on their own talk show???? OF COURSE he's advertising his book!

and also???? people leave pissy comments every time he advertises the businesses of his wife and kids????

WHAT KIND OF USELESS DEADBEAT HUSBAND/FATHER WOULD NOT ADVERTISE HIS FAMILY'S BUSINESSES ON HIS NATIONWIDE TALK SHOW???? a good husband/father SHOULD support the pursuits of his family in whatever ways they can, and if you just happen to be an absurdly famous talk show host, then one of those ways is to tell millions of people every day to go spend money on you!

i mean gosh, there are plenty of criticisms to be made about the sensationalistic, exploitative nature of reality shows and talk shows, and plenty of reasons to criticize phil mcgraw, but Advertising His Family's Businesses is not one of them lmfao.
