Anyway . . . so, Jerry Springer is on. What is up with this show? I know it's been for years, and I know it's been a fairly idiotic show for years. But, it's even more of a freak show than I remember watching. What is up with those puppets in the background? On today's episode, the guests are sitting on a car and revealing their incest crimes and what not. It's just not right!

I remember ten or more years ago when Jerry used to have a "straight" show. I even remember an episode about hate crime . . . it was a serious show. How did it devolve into this trash. And, while it's trash, I find myself still watching it. I am thoroughly amazed at what these folks are revealing. I am amazed that this has an audience. I won't watch it again by choice, but I am fascinated and disgusted at the same time.

Wow.
