Capgrass syndrome: this is where you believe certain people have been replaced by duplicates of themselves. A former SNL from the early 80's cast, has this and is in jail in canada.

Also another SNL member ,Garrett Morris,
is a mental. He thinks he's being controled by robots.

How in the hell is that cool?

"is a mental?" Making light of mental instabilites isn't that funny.

BTW. Garrett Morris doesm't have any mental disorders. He apparently was into freebasing cocaine which caused his hallucinations in the late 70's. He is still appearing in films.

call it what you will, but it was RECENT
activity that had robots up in arms over
Garrett's blame game.

I dunno 'bout you guys but Turret's tops my list! Having a biological explanation for shouting profanities at people would be AWESOME!

can anyone find this old org thread :

If Prince developed tourette's syndrome
and start cursing would Larry bitch slap him?

superspaceboy said:

An SNL cast member?!! I don't believe it!!!

NDRU said:

I want to know who the SNL cast memeber that has Capgras Syndrome.

superspaceboy said:

Tony Rosato. But it's just speculation.

Oddly, I'm in a position in which I can't say much more. He's a family friend.

INSATIABLE said:

Wow. I hope everything ends up working out okay for his family. I had a similar situation with my daughters' father who developed a serious mental illness.

INSATIABLE said:

oops, I thought you just picked as obscure name as a joke. But it's no joke!

INSATIABLE said:

Sorry to make such light of this, but it is interesting.

Too bad real Tourette's isn't like the movies. Most people with it don't actually randomly, loudly cuss.

How about Jumping Frenchman of Maine disorder....

I've met someone with Tourette's who did. It was...intense. She yelled "Fuck YOU! Fuck YOU!" randomly, and every time she did it she would jerk her head to the side and jab her middle finger diagonally toward her shoulder. She'd also make loud grunting/snorting sounds randomly.

That episode of Curb Your enthusiasm was
the best with the tourettes chef

mostbeautifulgrlntheworld said:

Agreed. Besides, people in wheelchairs are much funnier!

mostbeautifulgrlntheworld said:

no disrespect, but dyslexia isn't a mental disorder, is it? i thought it was more of a cognitive disorder or something differently labeled like that...


now multiple personality disorder...THERE'S a mental disorder for ya!

Anxiety said:

Does not matter, my point is that should not make fun of people who have to deal with this stuff on a daily basis...just a touch subject for me.

mostbeautifulgrlntheworld said:

i think different people have different sensitivities and what is considered a well-meaning way of making life less scary through humor for one person can be seen as a heartless and offensive joke to another. for my part, i'm certainly trying to go for the former and not the latter in anything i post or write. i do appreciate being reined in when/if i go too far.

mostbeautifulgrlntheworld said:

But it's still not a mental disorder so why be touchy about it?

Why does it matter if I am touchy about it or not, it doesn't matter, I am touchy about it deal with it.
