James|jamesfry@aol.com|What can I say, I like white trash fights.
Guy|greenbean@aol.com|Our culture is looking for the raunchiest entertainment. Jerry Springer provides that. We have sadly created a population of mindless, boring, wasted lives. I think I need to move.
todd|todd@evl.uic.edu|more voyerism
Rob|robertwi@aqssys.com|I have no need for it.
PSCHLUGO|pschlugo@charter.net|Sickening.  Pop Culture at its finest.  A chance to give bad actors a chance to act like white trash/black trash/redneck/bastards that gives us a dramatic glimpse into the sicker things that really go on in a much sicker fashion
Dustin|dustinwl@telusplanet.net|Watching ourselves at our most embarrassing moments.
shannon|ssims@machinedreams.com|I can only watch talk shows with the volume off... I feel so vicariously humiliated for the guests that I can't stand to hear AND watch them.  Even if it's not real.  
wooP|sadfd@sdf.com|people like to laugh at white american trash. I do 
fuzzybutt|We all like assurance that someone else has it worse than us.
god|people are stupid, and will do stupid things to get on television
Bryan|blueberry_93@hotmail.com|<BR>I like Jerry Springer!<BR>It's a crazy world out there, and Jerry has captured it, or most of it.
Josh|j_rh@hotmail.com|It's a nationwide self esteem boost.  Most of the population can watch the show and think "I'm not that fucked up"  If you can't think that then please don't breed.
Cuho|It sucks.
Dave|drs@ramassociates.com|Jerry is Jeopardy for idiots.<BR><BR>If one knows a subject better than the Jeopardy contestants, one gains satisfaction in the perception that one is smarter than others known to be smart.<BR><BR>If one watches Jerry, one gains satisfaction in the perception that one is smarter than, well, SOMEONE out there.  <BR><BR>And the latter is true for a larger group than the former. <BR>

boo radley|He is a zit on the ass of society. But who cares his 15 minutes ended.
al|if misery loves company, springer is a party! after seeing the depth some people will sink to, my life looks just peachy.
pjroo|the "dumbing down" of the masses to keep them under the thumb of the US government, and those that control it.  Mass media is all aimed at control, TV, news, radio, newspapers, advertising, and even clothing is all aimed at control, ultimately.
Bennyboo|The most pathetic members of society exploited for the sadistic entertainment of the masses.  Presided over by a patronising, self-righteous arsehole.
benjamin|heh. i can't stand the show. it's applauding idiocy.
Fuuten|shattered82@hotmail.com|Just another stupid attempt to cash in on man's stupidity and lust for violence.
billy wang|billy@thewang.com|Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910) once said "We are discreet sheep; we wait to see how the drove is going, and then go with the drove."  Of course, billy wang thinks what Mark meant was We are discreet sheep; we wait to see how billy wang is going, and then go with the billy wang.
David Earl|David_g_earl@yahoo.com|     People like to see extreme living. They like to see their fantasies get played out. They like to see revenge taken out on another, when they may feel helpless themselves. <BR><BR>People also like sensationalistic shit like J.S. because they can reflect on themselves and feel relatively normal.<BR><BR>And there's a whole bunch of other reasons why, but I don't like giving 'ol J.S. the airtime.
Jamee|psycho_death_b1tch@hotmail.com|Sweet lord. all that shit is is a bunch of losers who have nothing better to do than scream at other losers. People enjoy watching it because watching the freaks of this world probably makes them feel better.  That or its hella' amusing!
diskore|distraction, mirroring reality
aaron burke|aaronburke@minibosses.com|classic mob mentality.<BR>grounds for humans to strip their out of date kill or be killed instincts.
