I saw one Jerry Springer show once long ago. A private tv here chose to show them. After 20 minutes I was thinking...but how people can be so dumb to come there and to expose their life in public..and accept to confront someone who cheated them before an audience? Then I said to myself "ah yes..they are American" (don't take it bad, at that time -not so long ago, it was out of question for a Belgian tv to produce that kind of ridiculous show..since then..we felt into stupidity too) After one minute of thinking though , I said "no..even an American can't be that stupîd." So..maybe the tv show paid those people to expose their life? Or maybe it is just all scripted and they are (bad) actors?
Anyway, after 10 more minutes, I chose to change channel and look at something more interesting.
