YMMV / The Doctor Oz Show

• Epileptic Trees: There seems to be a rumor going around, proclaiming Dr. Oz to be the leader of some mad cult.
  Michael K.: As I’ve said a million times before, my mom is a major Dr. Oz fan mom and although she doesn’t totally believe in everything he says, she will knife a bitch who talks major shit about him. That’s why I keep a suit of armor in her spare bedroom closet. Whenever I’m at her house and she’s watching Dr. Oz, I have to put on that suit of armor so I can safely talk shit about him in front of her. Since my mom is an Ozhead, she’d probably agree with him about his show not being a medical show. It’s not a medical show. It’s CHURCH! Some people, including noted skeptic Dr. James Randi of the Randi Foundation, accuse Dr. Oz himself of occasionally spreading the medical equivalent of this.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: The petition to fire him from Columbia University, led by Dr. Henry Miller, was quickly deduced to be a publicity stunt. An ill-conceived one, as Oz boasted that he was being "silenced" by academics and shills for Big Pharma. If you come at the King you'd best not miss.
