My dad has a daily routine of visiting home from work in order to eat a mediocre lunch. To enhance his lunch-time habit, he turns on the television and tunes into one of the most unnecessary and confusing shows on television. Jerry Springer. Nothing entertains him more than hearing "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" while two half-naked men fight over a "fair maiden."
I just have one simple question. Why? White trash television entertains millions every day around lunch time when their ham and cheese sandwiches fail to do so, but why are they even here? Who in their right mind ever thought, "Hey, man! You know those good ole court hearin's? Well, what if we put 'em on camera and showed 'em to 'Merica?!" or, "Man, I really wish I could watch racist midgets wrestle each other."
Great idea, anonymous hillbilly. Humiliate white trash citizens of America on public television. What could be a greater idea (I have a few)?
