The Jerry Springer show is the highest cultural achievement ever. It even beats mud wrestling.

Sometimes it makes me vomit and sometimes makes me laugh,what annoys the hell out of me is the audience egging these obviously insane people (thats is if its not scripted) i saw this fat women come out and the crowd shouted for her to get naked and when she did they were like EWWWWW!!! and laughed at her.
But a really intresting show is the GG Allin one search for it on youtube and discuss (sorry to highjack thread but its easily the weirdest one i've seen)

Give any quantity, bigger than a dollar, of money and/or fame to certain people and they will do anything. It's disgusting.

Do you think Springer weighs his studio audience before tbey come in? Perhaps he stipulates a minimum weight of 25 stone..
Sorry, I dont mean to fat bash, but I watched JS the other night on cable, and the guest was this enormous white rapper, who was trying to kick the crap out of his equally huge bodyguard, for sleeping with his obese girlfriend. Springer invited his hamburger stuffed audience to share their wisdom, which they did, in the form of little raps..  Gems such as:
"I see it all the time,
A lady taking crap
Listen up mother 
You aint all that!"
I paraphrase, of course..
Springer is a nasty piece of work who cashes in on Americas intellectually disadvantaged trailer park population. That said, I cant bring myself to hate him. Perhaps because his intention is so blatant and brazen, unlike hapless UK talk show pr!ck Jeremy Kyle, who actually believes his own bullsh!t.

I find nothing funny about it,it literally makes me want to vomit.
I think it's a steaming pile of crap and pretty much exemplifies what's wrong with the media and the way we as people entertain ourselves.

we have a version in the UK....it's called the Jeremy Kyle show, and in one sense, its even worse than the Jerry Springer show.... although the message is essentially the same, its more understated (in a typically British kind of way) and not as over the top....
...because of this, I actually find it more disturbing and incidious....
