Jeremy Kyle accused Ben Smith of irresponsibility, asking whether he could even spell the word father
The 18-year-old, named in reports as Ben Smith, was challenged on the Jeremy Kyle chat show over his claim to have fathered a fourth child.

The outspoken presenter accused him of irresponsibility, asking whether he could even spell the word father.

He drew mocking laughter from the audience as he responded: "F-a-r-t-h-e-r."

The teenage girl next to him on stage covered her mouth as he added the superfluous "R" but he appeared unaware of his mistake.

Kyle challenged him to the impromptu spelling test after hearing how his guest had fathered children with three separate girls aged 16 and 17.

His claim to have got a fourth teenager pregnant was challenged on the ITV1 programme.

Producers organised a paternity test which showed that he was not the father of the girl's child.

"The entire audience were in stitches as Ben didn't know he had made a basic spelling mistake," one viewer told the Daily Star.

"It wouldn't surprise me if the stud he had through his eyebrow was actually an earring he had put in the wrong place by accident

True, but phonics is the crutch of the retarded.

Even half a wit could have deflected the spelling challenge unanswered without loss of face.

yes i agree, but i just say it could be understandable, since i left school 16 years b4 this kid was spawned, the education system has degraded, due to political pressures, we are breeding a generation of morons.

What you describe is the "Boston" accent, except we DROP the "r" sound when it is supposed to be there. "Hah-vahd Skwayah"

Poofy, I LOVE to hear the New England accents when we travel up there. Especially when we come to Boston. My cousins all live in Mass. and have that accent.

I'm sure the problem with our young friend mentioned in the article is that his parents never taught him how to speak properly. He probably pronounces "ask" as "ax."

This is exactly why everything is being dumbed down these days and why parents are DEMANDING that the world be foam-paded to protect little Shitford. The weak links are breeding us into oblivion and they know their kids are too stupid and weak to survive when times are tough.

That's why I almost wish we would have a depression in this country that would rival the '30's depression - Darwin would again be able to do his job. I know that life would really suck, but I think I would be able to make it through. I can't say that for many of the dumb-as-bricks people that I see around me on a daily basis. They'd either A) off themselves because they can't stand to live withouth their McMansions, S-Moo-V's, and cable TV, they'd have to get a good old fashioned dangerous hard labor job and end up getting themselves killed because they didn't follow directions, or C) starve to death beacuse they got themselves fired from the hard labor job because they were too lazy to go into work/too incompetent to do what was expected of them.

Maybe it was a Freudian slip, since that is the distance away from their kyds that most fathers prefer to be.

Nice to see this brainless breeder being mocked instead of lauded, as too many teen parents are. Seriously - how do you get an extra 'r' in there? I could see something like f-a-h-t-h-e-r...but f-a-r-t-h-e-r???
