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.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 9:26pmLook 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.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 8:43pmYou’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.

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.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 9:10pmWhy? 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!
Report Post »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.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 5:19pmHealth 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?

Posted on August 17, 2012 at 4:36pmI 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.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 5:01pmI 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.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 5:04pmMalcolm 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.
