Automatonophobia — The Fear of Tomatoes.

I don’t hate vegetables per se but I do have a disagreement whenever vegetables aren’t cooked and eaten raw — like would you eat meat raw?

Okay so that was a bad comparison, and though I don’t quite finish my greenies on the dinner plate, I admit that it is good for anyone to finish their greenies. Vegetables are good, so don’t fear them.

Anyway, automatonophobia isn’t fear of tomatoes (or vegetables) — I made that up! (Fear of vegetables is Lachanophobia!)

Automatonophobia is actually a fear of ventriloquist’s dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues!!

Hah, bet you didn’t know that, but who’d fear ventriloquist’s dummies, especially when they’re in the hands of Jeff Dunham:

Jeff Dunham is like the dummifying version of Russell Peters, and both these dudes are funnier than funny. Certified, guaranteed, doubtless, and confirm to crack you up in laughters anytime!
