This is awful

There's a child pageant show on Jenny Jones at the moment.
One of the kids doesn't like doing it (she's 7) but her
grandmother makes her.

What's Jenny Jones? Is it like Jerry Springer? Sounds like
Brass Eye with the girl with breast implants. I take it this
is American.

The whole Jenny Jones show makes me sick, that's why I don't
watch that fake show.

Yeah that show make me sick to.
Its like those "freak shows" they used to have back in the
days at the circus.
The show is all about displaying fucked up people for our
amusment.

Haven't seen that, sounds awfully disturbing....

One of the kids on it was 3!
Jenny Jones is a cheap Jerry Springer Clone, it's American.

Sido's point about the freakshow aspect of chat shows is
very accurate.

It was repeated last night. Very funny.

I thought brass eye had been banned for ever? :)

It's funny how the controversy the whole Brass eye thing
started up just went to prove the guy's (very serious)
underlying point of the satire.

I never thought of that, Sido. that's quite insightful.

Is it any better in the UK or Australia? I've unfortunately
never left North America. I don't mean to be "blasphemous"
or whatever, but my country's "culture" for the most part
depresses me and I'm thinking of moving sometime when I get
the resources to do so.

The UK chat shows aren't so "freak filled", but you do get
some pretty dull people on them. The audiences are still
stupid, cheering fanatically as though someone has said
something deeply profound when someone roles out trite
rhetoric or a cliched banality.

Kilroy is "better quality" than most american chat shows,
but he (kilroy) as a host annoys me.

It doesn't matter, they show all that crap here as well.
Everything is getting Americanised...

Fun drinking game to be played while watching UK chat
shows:

1. Every time someone says "at the end of the day..." take a
shot.
2. Every time someone says "you don't know me" take a shot.
3. When it degenerates into a "shouting match".

Within 5 minutes you'll be hammered.

Is it just TV over there though? Are there still just as
many stupid people there? There obviously aren't as many
rednecks...hahaha....

There's nothing I hate more than parents and grandparents
that push and prod and mold their kids in the fucked up way
that they want them. That Jon Benet Ramsey thing is
sickening.

I've learned from travelling around that there are rednecks
everywhere, they just have different names.

a child pageant is like a dog show, except with small girls
instead of poodles - a field day if one lusted for 5 yearold
girls

hahah, it was great... she won it - sort of. She was taking
the piss out of ppl right in front of their faces and they
didnt realise it!

All the little kids there looked so fake :-/ Daisy was the
only "real" person competing! It was very funny tho :-)

She's on the road with a metal band this thursday... looks
like it cud be funny :-)
