this is the end of maury as we know it.

YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER...

YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think the box art is really on target here.

I'm not sure how this would sell, like Jason said, who would get one of these just out of curiosity [...] ?

The novelty of it would really put a family's trust in one another to the test: I'm sure if Dad discovers that the child is more related to his plumber than himself, he'd probably not just shrug it off like it was a non-winning lottery ticket.

I just don't see anyone I know bringing one of these to dinner with their parents.

i'm adopted?!?

Not for me - I have no kids...THAT I KNOW OF! Hahahahahaha!!!

Sorry. Had a flashback to the 80s for a second there.

@SchruteBuck: What would you rather see on the box? A crying man?

"an another"....

Um, how about any father that wants to know why the kid looks like the frigin mailman BEFORE he talks to his wife? I mean seriously, great product. More in the way of peace of mind when a kid has blue eyes and two brown eyes parents.

@SchruteBuck: Agreed. Looks like a mom holding a baby. Unless she's worried about a switcheroo at the hospital, she's gonna know what popped out of her.

@SecretAsianMan: How about a broken condom?

@SchruteBuck: You should see the art on the other side of the box.

Could also be useful to remove doubts if the mother was knowingly involved with two men at the same time (e.g. pre-marriage breakup, swingers). There was a good episode of "Two and a Half Men" about that.

@92BuickLeSabre: ZING!

@EBone: Dude, if you're the kind of mother that buys OTC paternity tests, theres a good chance she has no idea who the father is.... it would be easy to swab a guy while hes asleep. Did I mention this is great fodder for sitcoms?

@bandit: That's what Maury Povich is for!

@bandit: "good episode of "Two and a Half Men""

i don't understand.

@Darrone: Yes, but over-the-counter HIV tests are when the REAL hilarity ensues...

Now i have to wait 3-5 days before i kill my exgf? Lame.

@jbhitter24: It's some kind of oxymoron I think.

"Luke, I am your father."

"NOOOOO!!! Oh, wait... I almost forgot. Could you wipe this swab in your mouth, and can we continue this conversation in a few days, please?"

This is good way of telling that you're adopted.

My brother-in-law could actually use this.

His live-in GF just left him for her ex-boyfriend... pregnant with what is supposedly my brother-in-law's kid.

Sad thing is, my brother-in-law isn't white trash, but seems to be a white-trash magnet, so for guys like him... this is a good thing. Maybe not court admissable, but enough to get someone off your back who says that she's "certain" your the baby daddy despite fucking more than one guy.

HAH I've heard commercials for this on the radio for a couple months now... The first time I heard it, I couldn't believe it. But now, I look forward to those times of day when I get to remind myself that I'm fortunate to know who my mommy and daddy are.

Mamas Baby; Papas Maybe.

Darren McFadden is shaking his Dallas Cowboys helmet in anger.

you know what this means.... lol

"Luke...I'm not your father..."
"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" (*shakes fist*)

Something pretty disturbing about this. I have two kids and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are mine. They act so much like me it's scary. One looks just like me which is even scarier. ;-]

If one of the parents had doubts, they'd still have to acquire the other's swab or else try to do it in their sleep. I just don't see either scenario working out well. Is it really necessary to get the mother's swab?

Enquiring minds want to know.

@Monty: Wow...someone else came up w/ it while I was typing... Must. Type. Faster. ;-]

@wecanfreakit:

you beat me to it. I'm actually kinda stunned he wasn't mentioned in the article

@Darrone: If both parents have blue eyes and the child has brown, you can save your money by not buying this.

So is it mandatory for the mother to run offstage and stuff her face into the couch and cry after getting the results?

Makes an excellent gift for the special lady in your life!

The box art should be some father dancing happily while a white trash mother with child looks dejected in the background.

@SecretAsianMan: Wouldn't that be truth in advertising?

@ideaman2020: if a kid has brown eyes while both parents have blue then yeah, there's reason to be suspicious. But he said a blue eyed kid from two brown eyes parents which can happen 25% of the time anyways.

My favorite:

+ Watch video

The box art I want to see is Jesus giving a guy a high five, while in the background, the devil is laughing and pointing at the womans vag area..... I need sleep.

I agree with the artwork needing a change but couldn't they have named it something more flashy like "Ain't My Baby's Daddy"

@bandit: i saw an episode of "My Two Dads" that had a very similar story line.

@CubFan81: if i'm not mistaken... didn't that lady end up showing up like a total of 15 times and *still* didn't find the dad? not that 11 is fine and good or anything.

@SchruteBuck: Hey! I just noticed, I go away for a few days, and when I come back all you bozos have stars. Harumph. You can go stuff your "Zings" in a sack!

Now what the need to come out with is the Cheerleader/trailer park special with 25 swaps. That should be enough to cover the mom, baby, the whole football team, (offense and defense) as well as the coach and the boyfriend. Just to be sure.

*Stupid lappy keyboard... too many typos.

@CubFan81: That young woman seems to enjoy a lot of unprotected intercourse.

I'm not sure what the point of this product is. You could just TELL your kid that you're not the real father and screw them up perfectly adequately without having to blow $150+ on the deal. Hey, it worked for my dad!

Hell yea, you can do it without her knowing!

@92BuickLeSabre: Some sneetches have stars upon thars...

I take 500...please!

Considering more cynical estimates that 1 in 3 births are to men other than the ones named on the birth certificates, and the named ones get stuck with child support for 18 years even after learning it's not their kid, since many states only give as little as two weeks to contest the birth certificate, I think every "new father" should get one of these.

Even better, just make paternity tests part of the birth certificate process, so there are no mistakes. If it's not the guy's biological child, he can decide at that time whether to make it official and adopt.

/dons his flame-retardant gear

In Tennessee some are trying to pass a bill making a DNA paternity test mandatory at birth. I work for Identigene and it is my opinion that the legal system will have to catch up with DNA testing in many ways. Although, I am not sure about that bill. As far as the cover of our box I agree, however I believe there was extensive market research that went into the design.And hey, really... what could you put on the box that would be acceptible????
