The ‘Who’s Your Daddy’ Paternity Testing Truck Is Now Driving Through NYC: ‘A Lot of Drama’

A mobile DNA testing truck going by the name “Who’s Your Daddy” has been spotted in New York City. Where it goes, drama follows says the truck’s owner.

CBS New York reports owner and operator Jared Rosenthal saying “we deal with a lot of drama — it’s constant drama.”

The New York Post reports that the truck has had its comparisons to the daytime television show hosted by Maury Povich on which many paternity revelations take place. Rosenthal told the Post “we try to be anti-Maury. They just do that stuff so they can prey on the fighting.”

The Post has more on how the truck sees situations that are “heartbreak hotel” and others that have happier endings:

He told of a man so certain his 5-year-old boy was really his that he had the child’s face tattooed on his chest. But then he had to take a DNA test while going through a divorce and learned to his horror he was not the father.

“For two or three weeks after, he’d call me asking, ‘What should I do? I don’t want to tell anyone. I can’t tell my family,’ ” Rosenthal recalled.

But some other stories have happy endings.

In one of them, a 44-year-old Harlem man found his long-lost daughter after the 20-year-old woman from Ohio contacted him on Facebook.

“I’ve been looking for you for all these years,’’ she told him. “You’re my father.”

CBS asked an unidentified man why he was being tested for paternity and he said although he would continue to pay child support, “you just want to know.”

CBS calls the presence of the truck “a sign of the times.” One onlooker said Rosenthal would “always have customers — unfortunately.” Watch the report on the RV:

CBS also reports Rosenthal saying his credentials and business are legitimate and legal. The paternity RV is operated for Health Street, an organization providing various testing services, including DNA, drug and alcohol, to individuals and companies around the country.

The cheek swab tests costs $350 with results coming back within a couple days.

The children in question belong to the U.S. Government. It has taken the responsibility of fatherhood out of the hands of men and turned it over to the welfare state.

  This truck is racist and contributes to the continual African-American-ization of inner-city dwellers.
  Oh wait…never mind.

Just more evidence of the moral decline of this country. It’s been in free fall for decades but it has picked up speed over the last 20 years and gaining.

Look on the bright side. Soon they will be a “unsolvable” crime in NYC and the DA will subpeona this truck and all the records. Somehow, those DNA records will end up in the judicial systems and THEN a bunch of crimes will be solved.

Anybody dumb enough to voluntarily hand over their DNA to a testing station deserves having that DNA sample included in all the criminal databases.

You’ve got all these black guys running around fathering multiple children with multiple women. It’s a macho thing, don’t you know. The women don’t know each other most of the time. The kids are born and grow up never knowing that some other kid in their neighborhood is their half brother or sister.

When these kids, who are all related, start having sex (with Blacks that usually starts at ten to twelve years old), all of them will get pregnant and give birth to inbred, imbecile children who will repeat the cycle ad infinitum.

And that is why inner city Blacks will never aspire to anything more than those represented by the New Black Panther Party.

  This must be the “village” that all the Progressives were talking about. Remember ***** Hillary with her so-called book “It Takes a Village”? What this really means is that the village idiots run around making a mess and the rest of the villagers spend their life cleaning up afterward.

  Why? Because they have the intelligence of a gnat, that’s why. Look at what is on Maury Povich. There are American’s that think this is “high class”. Maury Povich should be ashamed to emcee a show of such vulgar, irresponsible citizens, and in such poor taste. I don’t care if you have only one thin dime, you can have class. I see nothing on his show that is impressive. Nothing!
  Who’s your daddy Mobile, show’s the lack of class and education in this country. It’s sad these people will actually have the ability to vote for Obama, and you know they will. They live “FREE”…. living on taxpayer money of people, like myself, who work, and put food in their stomachs. How disgusting, and as long as Maury Povich and other liberals have TV programs, promoting this type of activity, it will not go away.

I hope the people in this truck are insured. They are surely going to get attacked. This truck will be the scene of many disturbances and a few murders and will leave in it’s wake a lot of violence (smile.

Health insurance companies should be forced to pay for all DNA testing. It is important for our health, and denying someone a DNA test is the equivalent of… oh, I don’t know… where is Sandra Fluke?

I didn’t think Planned Parenthood allowed children to be born in NY.

It needs to pull up in front of the White House. Of course they will have to track down the piece of Kleenex that has the original DNA in it to test for a match. Either that or locate the rock it landed on.

Nothing at all against the people who do this because they are merely filling a demand, good for them!

But does anyone ever wonder… what this says about us, as a society, when we have a service like this driving around? Just asking.

  I have to agree. This is all the more reason why responsible people should not be forced to pay for birth control and abortions. Until morals and faith come back into our society we will surely continue downhill. It is really sad to me and sends a very bad message.

I read where the did blood type testing at a Portland hospital a long while back. In about 10% of the cases the blood type didn’t match up with what could be expected given the purported parent’s blood type. If you want to solve divorce you need to go to the root of the problem.

This is nothing new.

I wonder if people know what’s going to happen to those who are spiritually dead when the more lively people start passing away? That’s right – you’re all going to go berserk.

  That’s the part of Revelation where it says the sea gives up the dead.

  Because you forgot about God, but mostly because you love [Money] so much, that they encouraged there to be billions and billions of people in the world. It was known you would do that and that’s why Revelation reads as it does.

  The [Mountains] are people, and God knew you’d bury your gold in those mountains, but the sea is going to give up the dead – so you’ll return to that gold and it will be worthless.

  can I make an educated guess what that out come might be? I would almost bet that Frak Marshall Davis or Malcom X would be the Daddy. This assumption after countless articles about barry and his mother. Thats All Folks!!!!!!!!!!!

  Malcolm X was not a racist when he came back form the haj in Mecca. He was against segregation & Jim Crow laws but he was no longer anti white. So the Nation of Islam had to kiII him.
  
  Has the NOI of Islam asked that the kiIIer be found these last 40 or so years? No, because they don;t want to go to jail.

  Shorthanded12 – I agree. He looks least like the Kenyan. I’m inclined to vote Frank Marshall Davis. He certainly inherited Davis’ politics.

  Music plays in the distance…
  
  Child gasp and looks at her friend, he friend gives that same bog gapping smile back
  They both dart into the kitchen
  “Both kids: Mommy Mommy The DNA truck is coming!!!”
  Cue in to two women with extra lose tanks with one having a cigarette in her mouth.
  
  Mother 1: “Now Jenasabomasia, you know we cant afford to find out who yo’ daddy is…”
  Mother 2: (Just looks at her kid and slowly shakes her head and grunts)
  
  The kids walk out slowly all bummed out
  
  And… thats what I envision when I thought of this DNA truck…
  NY, stay classy.
  
  Thank you, I hope you enjoyed prez-n-tay-shun.
