Another TV-Related Stabbing

posted by on April 29 at 17:11 PM

First Tyra, now Dr. Phil.

A fight over the Dr. Phil Show resulted in a Barrie woman’s arrest Monday after police say she attacked her hubby with a table and a kitchen knife….

When officers arrived, they spoke with the victim who advised that his common-law wife of 10 years had been drinking while watching the Dr. Phil Show. As a result of watching the show, they became involved in a verbal argument. Police say the man, wanting to avoid a confrontation, left the room. When he returned, police say he was hit with a table and various other household items. She then went to the kitchen, got a knife, then attempted to stab the victim, who was able to defend himself and take the knife from her. The man was cut on his arm in the process.

Well that does it. Enough is enough! When are we going to ban kitchen knives and stop this senseless tragedy? And, oh, tables too. And "various household items," yeah, them too.

Better the arm than a Bobbitt style injury, I say.

Philophobia is a serious problem. Next on Oprah.

Really, anyone who ever uses the term "Hubby" deserves to die. Twice.

These people should watch TV together on different sets in separate rooms like normal american families.
