Dr. Phil Confronts Facebook FarmVille Addict

It’s not unusual to hear Dr. Phil spouting about some random addition that a woman needs to rid in her life. From shopping to gambling, day time talk show host Dr. Phil’s advice has always been to cut the fat. However, when confronting a new obsession in one of his “patients”, things took an interesting turn.
After the chastised woman, Teresa, went so far as to unplug the wireless router to boot everyone from the family computer so she could check her crops, she realized she had a problem. She even blamed he extreme measures taken by her to play the game on her daughter’s attitude when asked to get off of the computer while doing her homework. Dr. Phil told her, “You have a ridiculous addiction to a ridiculous computer game that’s interfering with your ability to be a mother. You needed a fix, and she wouldn’t get off, so you had to create the opportunity.”
Dr. Phil’s right here, as much as it shames me to admit. These little applications which are supposed to make Facebook fun are taking over the whole site, making anyone who doesn’t use them extremely uncomfortable with all of the spam. Who would have thought Facebook can ruin families?
