I don't watch much network TV except for the Viking games. The reason I don't watch it is because about 90% of the programs are garbage. I quit watching it about the time that Survivor show came on. I've never watched the show and I don't even know what "voting someone off the Island" means. In fact whenever I hear that phrase I get this mental picture of Gilligan leaving the island on his bamboo raft.
Well, today during the game I heard an advertisement for this show that has got to be the most perverse thing I've ever heard. The show is called "Who's your Daddy?" and the idea is that this young woman will interact with a group of men in an attempt to guess which one is her biological father. I couldn't believe it when I heard it and I actually thought it was a joke, but I asked my wife and she said that it's a real show, and that this girls dad bailed when she was like 6 weeks old and she's supposed to figure out who he is.
I didn't bother to ask why, I quit doing that when I saw a commercial for a show where people were going to eat a sheeps eyeball on TV for the chance to win $50K.

Reality TV is very far from any reality I'm used too. I don't like 98% of reality TV. As for this new show I hope they have psychotherapist on stand-by.

MSNBC, C-Span, SNL, Bill Maher, Sopranos is good, the rest is filler. I'm starting to really like Madonnas idea about not reading magazines or watching TV. Live your own life like you did when you were a teen.

Does anyone on the Forum know the ORIGIN of the phrase "who's your Daddy?" It originally had a sinister meaning, with homosexual, sexual, or incestuous overtones, but lately, it has become flip.
I remember it from an old Zombies hit--"Time of the Season" (...."what's your name--who's your Daddy......)
Bill Murray in Stripes also said it while "taunting" the female M.P.
Nothing on Etymology, Phrasefinder, or Google.
Ideas?

Used as an insult to demonstrate authority, hence the "daddy" part. Most likely performed by the giving end after the recieving end is pwned/owned. Also used by Superfly, one of Joe Cartoon's characters.
Billy: Oh yeah! I just scored 15 3 pointers on your punk ass!
John: Dammit, man..
Billy: Who's your daddy?!
Superfly: Hey man, what's up?
Santa: What's up? Heh heh. What's up?
Superfly: You know who your daddy is? It's me, yeah! I'm your daddy! Do you know how come I'm your daddy? 'Cuz I did this to your momma! Yeah, YOUR momma! Call me Superfly! Your momma!

It's apparently something that nobody knows why the meaning has changed but the phrase has been around since the late 18th century. (Do you think George Washington ever used that phrase?)

Not my interpretation, just heard it somewhere.
It comes from Bobby Knight, he was gonna go into professional wrestling and call himself Hoosier Daddy.

I read in Norm Swartzkof's book that the Arab's consider sheep eyeballs to be a delicacy. When Norman was growing up his father held the post U.S. Ambassador to Iran.
His father had warned Norman that if he were to be offered the eyeball while attending and Arab meal it would be looked upon as a dishonor if he didn't eat it, sure enough Norm got the eyeball and didn't even get a shot at the 50K.
