I saw Jerry Springer show for the first time ever last week. Two women (previously friends), one who had been sleeping with the other one's H. Both women very overweight, were encouraged to fight, pull each others clothes off then spend the rest of the 'interview' in their bras. Then the audience were encouraged to have their say, basically humiliating the women, being verbally nasty.
I honestly could not believe what I was seeing - I lasted 10 mins before turning off. Are the guests real, or are they actors, because I can't understand why anyone would put themselves through that? Are they paid, or are they looking for their 15 minutes of fame? The couple in the above scenario had children - why on earth would you want to behave like that on national TV knowing that your children may see it and their school friends would see it.
Are the guests being exploited or are they so warped that they see this as a valid thing to do?
And through it all, Mr Springer was sitting at the edge of the stage with a smug smirk on his presumably multi millionaire face.
