    Paternity tests are a popular topic in talk shows like Maury or Jerry Springer.
    Why is it that lots of people put out their business for the whole wide world to see?
    Especially the women that bring one guy to a talkshow,he turns out not to be the father of their kid/s and in the following months they'll come back with other dudes to get tested for paternity.
    They just make fools out of themselves in my opinion.
    If I was in the situation of not knowing who fathered my child I would want to clarify the situation as descreet as possible.

    Now Lil Jon came up with a song dealing with that topic"Dat baby" featuring the BME Click.

    Now there are other aspects to consider as well:
    The Maury Show is often accused by critics of exploiting dysfunctional families and minorities and for embracing and sensationalizing some of the worst stereotypes of American society and behavior.
    Criticized is also using the guest's serious problems for the entertainment and humor of the viewing audience.
    As long as they have high ratings they will keep their concept though.
    How do you feel about it?

    Huh, you know I really cant relate to paternity test stuff. But this is what I feel on that subject. This is only based on my opinions so please to all dont go gettin offended.

    1-i would feel like utter shit displayin my personal baby daddy drama on tv.
    2-i dont want the world to know if i fucked 5 guys in one week and couldnt figure out who the father was.
    3-things happen such as condoms breakin or god knows what else when it comes to a whoopsie situations so sometimes some are shit outta luck
    4-also i feel that there are women out there that choose to get pregnant with intend to keep a man.
    5-seriously the shit gets annoying to watch

    i personally dont have kids and dont plan on havin any in the near future. even though i may not fuck anymore cuz i am single, doesnt mean that i am getting off birth control. its those times or transition that shit goes down ....

    As far as talk shows in general, there are some that actually have good information and helps people out.

    I think tse folks get paid to come on that show and make an ass of themselves. I have seen women come on that show like 20 times and still not find out who the father was, I hope they know that is shit is taped and their kid is going to see that one day and his classmates are going to give him of her hell as you know kids are cruel.

    Even if most of those were paid to tell some made up story I'm sure there are still some real cases.
    My cousin had a-well let me say-memorable performance in a talk show of which I thought it was all fake so I know some are true.Lol.
    But even for money I wouldn't make such a fool out of myself.

    Now I believe the stories are true but to keep comin back and making an ass of yourself. I think those folks who keep coming back are getting paid,think about it free trip to NYC,food and free hotel.

    oh yeah, some are definitely true. I had a friend in high school who ended up on Jerry Springer.

    Those shows are extremely exploitative and promote stereotypes. "Who's Your Daddy" was cancelled after one episode simply because it featured a white woman searching for her father and there are plenty of cases quite similar.

    Maury is one of my favorite reality shows. I've been enjoying it for 5 years. I love hearing "You are NOT the father". I break into hysterical laughter when I hear that. At the same time, I laugh when I see certain guests appear on the show multiple times, looking for the father and then it's proven that's he's not.

    I just hope that the men who are proven not to the father, they could keep it in their pants, get done right away, and find themselves a real woman.

    The Maury show does expose the true nature of people. Can't blame him though.

    When my nephews get older, I'm going to show them this show. They will understand the true nature of young relationships and young women nowadays.
