Get the pedophobia mug.Man: I'm so afraid of becoming claustrophobic AND agoraphobic at the same time!! Actually, just the word "phobia" kinda makes me want to vomit.
Therapist: Well, it sounds like all this fear of phobias has given you one. It's called phophobia. And it makes you look redundant, ironic, and stupid.

Get the Pediophobia mug.An irrational, often hysterical fear that afflicts many parents. It involves the delusion that perverts wearing trenchcoats are lurking behind every bush with pockets full of candy. Parents with this disorder have an obsessive compulsion to keep their children, even teenagers, under constant surveillance. They egotistically assume that a pervert would WANT their children, even though they tend to be just as dull and unattractive as the parents that spawned them. These parents tend to be highly suggestible, and a large majority watch FOX News regularly. Other symptoms include frequent bouts of paranoia and melodramatic behavior. Sadly, most will not be cured before they have passed the disease on to their children.
The media's sensationalized coverage of child abductions is mostly to blame for the current climate of pedophobia in our society.
