Does this crap actually get shown on american TV?!?!

That's just disgusting.

It was disgusting. And I had to stand there in that kitchen and make sweet potatoes anyway, after seeing that.

{{{shudder!!!}}}

And Southerners wonder why people make fun of us. Well, if Cousin Goober would quit sleeping with his daddy's girlfriend and getting called to be on Springer, people would quit pickin' on us!

the smaller one of the two started the whole thing. I wonder Springer paid him to slap the other with flowers.

Hey Babe! Were outta longnecks! Why dont you just in the pickup & get us a new box! Oh, Im on my last can of skoal too! Could ya get me one? Thx hon, I love ya babe!

Yes, they show it. In that particular show, it was a put-on. They will not let guests pommel each other, so this had to be pre-arranged. It's for the ratings. I have no problem with the network showing this stuff. The morons that appear on the show get paid, and know what they're getting into. The sad part is that many people who watch it live in that world, but don't know it.

Pffffffffft, like UK TV is any better. AND it's heading the exact same way as American TV.

I mean, there's like MAYBE one decent thing on a night these days?

Did you ever see the UK Springer show? It was atrocious, and nothing like the US version, which is at least occasionally amusing for all the wrong reasons. He was in basically to stick it to Trisha Goddard who had jumped to Channel 5, and his show was worse than her old show... just talking to bottom-of-the-barrel chav scum about paternity tests and relationship problems.... no fights, no lesbian dwarves, no transexuals, no KKK members (not that we have that here)... rubbish.

Never watched it, didnt realise it was different to the US one, if thats all it was you can usually look outside and see that kind of scum action!

Point made, but thats just people ripping off the whole jackass thing

To an extent i agree, but its hardly to the extent of some things on US tv!

Whats even more disturbing is, Jerry Springer has been elected to public office...

LOL!

 

[morf]

Am I wrong to enjoy a good midget fight? I actually do watch Springer every now and again, it reminds me of how truly stupid most folks are and makes me feel much more normal....

U sure arent. I enjoy springer too sometimes, from a "discovering the american culture" standpoint
