to think that Jeremy Kyle should just thump some of his guests?

I'm watching JK now and there's this bloke who has been beating his pregnant girlfriend and is laughing about it on stage!

Really, I don't condone violence but think that perhaps JK could do with a room backstage for giving some of these men some of their wn medicine!

I think the guests should thump JK .

AuntieMaggie · 10/06/2009 14:37

Only if I can kiss him better

Everyone in any way connected to the making of the programme should be also be thumped.

Am rather partial to JK too

That blokes smirk was incredible especially when he told her (31wks pg) to get off her backside and get a job

Jk is a hideous man and the whole undignified circus should be scrapped.

shootfromthehip · 10/06/2009 14:41

I started a JK thread and was subjected to a torrid flow of negativity. I think the man is fabulous and should be Knighted I don't know how he keeps his hands off these people some times.

Bonneville · 10/06/2009 14:42

Just where and how do they find all these a*s for this show?

crosseyedandpainless · 10/06/2009 14:47

I think it's the most horribly exploitative show I've ever seen.

I feel sick when I think how the no doubt highly educated, attractive young researchers who work on JK manipulate a bunch of alcoholic, broken down, drug addicted, abused members of the underclass to humiliate themselves in public. It's vile.

Trikken · 10/06/2009 14:49

sorry but the guests know what they're getting themselves into when they come onto his show.

AuntieMaggie · 10/06/2009 14:50

I know simpson! I was sat here willing JK to just let him have it! How dare he treat the mother of his children like that?!

KingRolo · 10/06/2009 14:53

crosseyedandpainless - exactly.

I don't think some of the guests do know what they are getting into. At all.

VinegarTits · 10/06/2009 14:53

JK is an arsewipe

AuntieMaggie · 10/06/2009 14:54

underclass???

a lot of the people that go on there that are in the wrong do so because they think that they are something special and show off about what they are doing.

i don't see manipulation - i see straight talking and direct questions.

No the security men should do it, not that little weed. Jeremy is a prick, he humiliates people and when they kick off he sends the real men to protect him. Better still, can I thump wifebeater and JK?

He also helps a lot of people.

SouthMum · 10/06/2009 15:01

JK is my dirty little secret.

IMO he humiliates people who deserve it, no-one can possibly in their right mind go on that show and not expect to get a bashing if they are obviously nob-ends.....

AuntieMaggie - I saw that tosser you are talking about this morning and he deserves every one of his buck teeth kicking out if you ask me

Trikken · 10/06/2009 15:03

The man this morning was nasty, he gave me the heebie-jeebies. He just kept laughing and smirking even though he knew he was hurting his partner.

SouthMum · 10/06/2009 15:05

I think he was a bit simple to be honest. No-one can possibly be that hard-faced...and I know some right bastards!!!

KingRolo · 10/06/2009 15:06

Quite a lot of them have mental health issues and / or learning difficulties.

AuntieMaggie · 10/06/2009 15:08

Ditto Riven and Trikken.

I think it says more about society that some of these poor people (the victims like that poor woman this morning) obviously feel that they have nowhere else to turn that they have to go on the show.

AuntieMaggie · 10/06/2009 15:09

I don't think that man was simple - I think he ohonestly thought he had a right to treat her like that.

OP posts:
SouthMum · 10/06/2009 15:09

I wouldn't have thought that would be allowed TBH KingRolo, if thats the case then fair enough but I doubt every single one of them has mental health issues or difficulties.

VinegarTits · 10/06/2009 15:10

JK exploits people, some of them have mental heath issues (if thats what you are meaning by simple? ) the man is a cockroach who it out to make a buck from other peoples misery

Stigaloid · 10/06/2009 15:11

I think it is unreasonable to watch JK. Sorry. It's all a circus and hyoed up for tv to get ratings.
