America, seriously WTF?

what is this i dont even :panic:

I just had one of the most jaw dropping Youtube wandering sessions today, and came across the Jerry Springer show.

I could never comprehend the term "trash TV" 'till I've came to know of this, seriously America, what.

 

 

 

^ wait for the end with this one

And that's not even the real messed up sh*t, there's no bottom to how low it gets I swear,

Suddenly all of these GTA radio talk show parodies make perfect sense, I never knew. Not only they make sense, I'd even say they fall short of this bizzare parody material.

My reaction at first was utter repulsion, which turned into growing interest, and here I ended up being obsessively fascinated with this twisted cultural phenomenon. :monocle:

 

This or trash TV in general, prime time abomination or priceless TV gold mine?

Your humble two cents on this, GTAF?

You know those people are paid actors, right?

Except you know that's not relevant right?

But if you wish, I've asked myself this same thing and managed to verify a few stories on there - clearing that certainly at least not all of it is faked. not that you can prove all is fake anyway, which is why that's kinda pointless to bring up..

Yes, blame the entire country for a subpar daytime television show that nobody watches anymore.

It's like when Russia first heard The GoGos-We Got the Beat in 2000. Kidding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And don't forget that shows like The Peoples Court and Judge Judy are still on showcasing a fine slice of America.

Whoa there don't hop me yet, I had zero indication that Jerry Springer was irrelevant today.

And "wtf america" is merely an expression of surprise/etc, as with "wtf japan" and so on ;)

It's more about trash tv than jerry springer really though.

You know it was all fun. :)

 

And trying living over here in the states. We don't say "wtf america" but I know I myself utters "what the f*ck"? at sh*t around here countless times a day. Just yesterday I just discovered a whole cable channel that seems to be dedicated to botched plastic surgery. Not kidding

Nah, if you're serious about going 90s, what you really need is flannel shirts, disheveled hair and sh*tty music played on out of tune guitars, with crappy lyrics about teen angst or whatever.

Just as long as you guys aren't thrashing Soundgarden. :p

 

But on topic, Jerry Springer was from the 90's. His career faded out into the 2000's, but the show was basically shock-jock TV for the unemployed and stay-at-home mom's, which aired during the afternoon hours on network television. These time slots are allotted for other garbage television programming such as "who's the father of my baby" talk shows and "he kicked my dog" kangaroo court.

 

They even made a parody movie about the Jerry Spring show called Ringmaster. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165494/

To be fair, some of their stuff was pretty mind blowing.

And meh on Springer and all of those other shows that just take up network space during slow hours.

Way to spam the topic, Marles. I think it's kind of obvious I was talking about shows like Springer and the likes.

Right, because "TV" refers to this type of TV and that alone.

It's kind of like saying "all black people are criminals" and then coming back "obviously I meant all black people who broke the law were criminals duh"

No, it really isn't.

 

Back OT: Every country has this type of show, basically reality shows disguised as talk shows. Nothing new under the sun.

I'd expect if there were any issues with the show it's tenure wouldn't be as long standing as it is. But ratings as we watch people fight to feel better about our own outlook, and the like plus above.

Yes, it's saying something stupid and then coming back and saying what you should have specified from the start.

I love how every topic somehow leads to a comparison with black people. It's even more common than Godwin's law.

I thought it was obvious enough since we're talking about, I don't know, talk shows in here?

make total destroy

Over 1.8 million televisions were kidnapped from Africa by the white colonialists, and shipped to the 'new world' where they were forced into slavery. Even now, several hundred years after the enslavement of televisions began, televisions are still confined to slums and ghettos, subjugated by radio and telephones.
