Is Jerry Springer Responsible For The Destruction Of Western Civilization?
|

"I am the father of the destruction of Western civilization" Jerry Springer Jerry Springer, the father of reality TV, admits that his show is " stupid" and has "no redeeming social values." Springer`s show is a hit on college campuses, trailer parks, and in living rooms all over this great nation. Springer`s formula is simple: Give lesbians, str[i]ppers, trailer park tramps, and assorted white trash freaks a nationwide platform, and the studio audience and the viewing audience will delight in rendering instant verdicts. I`m not equating lesbians with trailer park tramps, but attractive lesbians are a staple of Springer`s show, and they are in a large part responsible for its success. The most popular section of Jerry`s show is the last part where the audience is allowed to comment on the show`s guests. Jerry`s audience members aren`t noted for their nuance or subtlety; they will often render a one word verdict on a guest: [W]hore, [w]hore, [w]hore they will shout with glee. When a Dr. Phil pretends that he cares about a guest and utters soothing words of psychobabble, most discerning viewers are bored numb. Most of us have managed to make an absolute mess out of our lives; we are beyond the redemption of psychologists and preachers. But when we watch The Jerry Springer Show it`s so satisfying to reduce an attention-hungry trailer park denizen to a one-word caricature: Freak, wh[o]re, or loser. The Springer show has been popular for decades, and as long as human nature doesn`t change, it will continue to pull in monster ratings. Yes Jerry, you are the father of the destruction of Western civilization, and we salute you! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
