Advantages: None whatsoever
Disadvantages: He's horrible
The Jerry Springer industry is a wonder to behold - I mean do you actually believe there's a country like America - the wrestling is difficult enough, but this oddity is really too much to take - who do these people think they're kidding - are they for real? They could be, but I don't believe it. Jerry Springer is the ring leader, our host, our agent provocateur with the telling and ethical moral at the end - BE NICE TO EACH OTHER FOLKS (while I'm raking it in from the hatred and bile I'm peddling). There's no half measures in a Jerry Springer programme, with the protagonists a mile apart in their willingness to compromise, baring their soul and their deepest innermost feelings for the whole world to pick over and ogle. It's depraved, it's dirty and it's not very pleasant. You catch yourself watching it and you can't quite understand how you let yourself get seduced by it. This is EVIL and JS is the devil incarnate! People like Jerry Springer are smugly complacent and self serving, like many stereotypical Americans and his show symbolises everything that makes the average Brit retch at the very idea. It?s the running of the herd, the baying sheep who screech and cry for the blood of the pitiless bad guys ? ?This is Stanley ? he is having an affair with his girlfriend?s goat, but also loves his mother-in-law (or some such foolish nonsense).? You can see them all now, the great fat bloated red necks with their wrestling thumbs down going at the baddies, cheering the poor defenceless females ? or else, you get the six year old prostitutes who are on drugs, but really have a heart of gold and just want to get their exams ? or else, you get the wise old granddaddy w
ho is actually an SM fiend with a nasty whip and even nastier scars on his back? And presiding over the whole thing, is the horrible, nasty, ambivalent Springer, maintaining his abhorrence for the nasties before him, while secretly revelling in the repulsive compulsion of it all, knowing that the masses of mid America find this all so fascinating and flock to give him their bucks for peddling his strange little freak show. There is nothing more appalling than this sexploitation flick and its desire to tug at the seamier side of life. Actually, there is one thing which is more appalling, and that?s the hypocrisy of Springer and his like, the real scum of the earth. And as if it?s not bad enough to have utter dominance of television, then you can also find the Jerry Springer website at http://www.jerryspringer.com/ with the horrible man and his hectoring finger jabbing insanity ? this guy is despicable, thoroughly despicable. You could also visit http://www.uni-television.com/jerry/ which features ?Classic Springer: Past Guests Attack!? Jerry revisits this classic episode that brings back 2 of the Springer Show's most popular guests... Rufus and Treynae! Rufus has to face long time lover, Treynae and girlfriend, Nikki... he's engaged to both of them! But that's not all, he and Treynae must go toe to toe with former guests too! Then... Michelle says she was disgusted by adult film star Jasmin St. Clair and is here to confront her. Finally... Transsexual Brittany and pregnant girlfriend, Dee, must defend their lifestyle to a viewer and concerned mother. You get the picture I am sure, and if you?ve got anything about you then you will find this all as unpleasant as I do ? but perhaps not because pandering to the lowest common denominator is actually quite succes
sful, so some people love this sort of stuff. I can see why, with a certain grim fascination, but it doesn?t mean to say that I can accept it, and neither should you.
