What do you do to overcome a phobia? Hypnosis? Neurolinguistic therapy? Or, like Finbar from Glasgow, do you head down to the DVD shop? He says:

I have a slight revenge scheme to get back at my friend. I have coulrophobia (fear of clowns), and my friend suggested that to get over this fear I should watch the film It. I saw the film for ten or fifteen pounds in HMV and decided to watch the trailer for it on youtube. To cut a short story shorter, it possibly made my fear even worse.

I am pretty sure my friend is an arachnophobic (fear of spiders). So answer me this: is buying him the film Eight Legged Freaks for his birthday and make him watch it with me a good revenge plan, or can you think of something better?

Seeing as you’ve already sourced it, you might as well give him that copy of Stephen King’s It. Not only is this film terrifying to those who have phobias of clowns (or drains, children, or Tim Curry), but – SPOILER! – if you make it to the end, there’s a big scary spider. Also, while he’s diverted by the film, you can fill his bedroom with tarantulas.

Think this is a bit silly? Team AMT seems to be beset by myriad phobias. Click HERE and HERE to laugh at the expense of unfortunate fellow listeners.
