Jerry Springer
You know, I usually write entries in this thing when I feel strongly about a subject. Usually this means either hating the topic or loving it. This is not the case with Jerry Springer. I have a strong feeling of neutrality towards him and his show, and I have no idea why I cannot form a valid opinion about it.
To start, let it be said that Jerry Springer is an American badass. As much respect as I do not have for the man, he is cool. He's arrogant, disrespectful, and, in general, a total asshole. But he just has this factor of awesomeness that no one can touch. I mean, think of his competition in talk shows. Geraldo, Oprah (gag), Regis, all of the bitches on the View. All of these assholes try to be respected. They aim to report gritty news and have their guests weep, cry, and inspire the audience. Jerry Springer does not give a shit about figuratively "touching" the audience. He wants everyone to laugh at his guests. He wants everyone to chant things such as "PUNCH THAT BITCH" or "YOU'RE A SLUT." Most importantly, he wants his guests to get naked. Because of this, I grant Jerry Springer the status of badass.
However, the Jerry Springer show is an embarassment to the United States. I mean, seriously. It's crap. Everyone knows this. It's more crap than the Real World (after the first season) and My Super Sweet Sixteen combined with a side of Frasier. It's an awful show. Anyone who can stand watching more than 10 minutes of it on TV should be psychologically evaluated. I'm not even joking. It's that awful.
I recently had the pleasure of attending a Jerry Springer taping. And by pleasure, I mean a mixture between amusement and pain. Sure it was funny to watch people make fools of themselves. But I also had to see boobs. Saggy. boobs. It was disgusting, to say the very very very least. But I learned a valuable lesson there. That I don't hate Jerry Springer. But I don't like him either. Thus the neutrality.
I've run out of steam at the end of this entry. I need to be rejuvinated. Someone give me a good topic to go off on, please. I feel that my anger has been dwindling lately, and I need to replenish it.
