Real or fake, the Jerry Springer Show, and many of it's ilk, represents everything that is wrong with society.

Sorry, just had to put my .02 in. Carry on with your discussion.

NO, you're right Tekky.
And this is the HEART of the conversation.

Is it...

A. Andy Warhol? (everyone has to be famous for 15 minutes)
B. We really are mutants
C. We aren't too discriminating as an audience.
D. All of the above

Want to know the sad thing?

There are more of them than there are of us.

You are 100% right. And it's VERY sad.

You left out:
E. Watching these mouth-breathers makes the rest of us feel better about their day to day lives by comparison. This, in turn, drives up ratings, thus perpetuates this kind of garbage. All the while, this leads children who's babysitters have Sanyo, Sony, Zenith, whatnot stamped on them to believe that this is how adults are supposed to act.

Now, is Jerry a smart individual? Abso-f*cking-lutely!!! For the simple fact that he finds (or more accurately found him) the human equivalent of trainwrecks and feeds it back to a voyeuristic society and thus labels it "entertainment".

[Ben...]

It's real fake.

My thoughts precisely.

[VitaminG]

what's sad? That there are more of them than there are of us? Or that Bengal is right?

[Bengal]

Both.
