Where There's A Mill, There's A Way
Considering plastic surgery? Who better to counsel you on the ramifications of getting a fake face than a fake doctor of psychology? It turns out that Lynn Ianni, the shrink on the Fox show Extreme Makeover, got her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in the mail from a diploma mill called California Coast University. Yes, some Ph.D candidates struggle for years to write their doctoral dissertations; others struggle for seconds to find a stamp to put on the check they're mailing to buy the fancy-looking piece of paper that says they earned their Ph.D. And now, that line you've all been waiting for: No, she's not a doctor -- but she plays one on TV!

"some Ph.D candidates struggle for years to write their doctoral dissertations"

Don't tell me you've been reading the electrolite blog where they've exposed a high ranking DoD official as a recipient of a Master's Degree from Columbus University, yet another diploma mill.
