Snarboo Posted March 16, 2009 Creaphis said:Tourette's is a hoax. They just like to swear. I can't speak of the compulsive swearing type, but there is more than one kind of Tourette's. Tourette's can also encompass nervous tics, such as compulsive blinking. I actually have a friend who has Tourette's and I never noticed until he told me, and even then, it was a rather mild facial twitch. 0 Share this post Link to post

TheeXile Posted March 16, 2009 YMB said:There is no way these kids aren't grossly exaggerating their symptoms I'm inclined to suspect that, too. The term for that specific brand of Tourettes is called Coprolalia, by the way. Supposedly it's actually rare among people with Tourettes, too, so seeing them all in one place... yeah. 0 Share this post Link to post

Admittedly, I did chuckle at the *Jen gives head* part, because like YMB said, it seems a little exaggerated. 0 Share this post Link to post

So much TV these days seems to be voyeuristic "freak show TV" designed to get the masses tuning in and to "sympathise" with the subject whilst, actually, just getting something to talk about at work/school the following day and then forget about it until the next freaky installment. In recent months I'm aware of shows about morbidly obese people, terrifyingly skinny people, people with bizarre phobias, people with strange growths, odd diseases, mental disorders, extreme allergies, unusual parasites, people with odd lifestyles, conjoined twins... People are all full of "ooohs" and "aaahs" and "it must be terribles" when they talk about it but, IMO, it really is no different to paying the Victorian side show host a penny to view the bearded lady or the dog boy. One of us, one if us, one of us... 0 Share this post Link to post

I thought it was pretty mean at first until he couldn't explain why he's afraid of them. But I'm just trying to imagine what it's like to get the startling feeling of heartstopping panic like when someone grabs your shoulders from behind, just by being near peaches. I thought it was pretty rough to send in the people with the bushels of peaches, he nearly shat his pants. I wonder if he ever gets similar looking fruit confused with peaches, like apples or oranges. 0 Share this post Link to post
