Fine.
Except they were playing Jerry Springer.
"You be Steve, I'll be Jerry" and the rest of the kids pretended to fight and scream at each other.
*shakes head*
We are doomed.
What kind of parent lets their kids watch Jerry Springer?
I think I'm the only person thats seen more pisss-takes than actual shows. Ah a bunch of fat woman fighting over some bloke
" Yooou leave my maaaan alone hussy "
" Whaaat you talkin' bout booitch "
I just wondered who would let a little kid watch that stuff?
Springer is different to the rest of these talk-show monkeys.
He knows his show is toss, and he freely admits it. In an interview with Esquire, he said "Hey, an ape could host my show, but if they keep paying me, I'll keep doing it"
He has no pretensions at serious discussion, doesn't try to rip open mental scars live on tv for ratings.
He gets rednecks together and lets them try to kill each other.
It's Gladiatorial, and it's good fun.
And all the while, Springer is just nodding and smiling, and you know he's thinking "That's right idiots, keep whacking each other, you're making me a fortune here".
Springer rules, and he knows it.
And the best bit? After however long of hillbilly-shenanigins?
"Take care of yourlself, and each other"
Irony from an American is rare enough, but on that scale it has to be applauded
I have no idea whether some of the shows are genuine or not, but my guess is that being American, they're genuine.
I split with my fiancee years ago - funnily enough, neither of us were particularly interested in going on national TV to air our differences.
Sadly though, the trend is coming over here, with shows like Tricia and co. getting similar cases recenty. (I don't make a point of watching these, but if I can't sleep, I sometime put the TV on and fall asleep to it.)
Anyway, Springer is the ideal thing to watch if you're feeling down, depressed, or that the whole world is against you. Not only does it drive home the fact that there's *always* someone worse off than you, but it also makes you feel perfectly normal, whatever strange things you've done.

Americans and American wannabes. The only way to solve the worlds problems is to get rid of the Americans
