“While I Have You’re Attention”
The Jerry Springer Show
Televisions Armpit

The Jerry Springer Show is just one of many similar TV productions who’s apparent target markets include sexual voyeurs, slack-jaw morons, Nazi’s, violence loving sociopaths, and people that live to frequent carnival freak shows. These days, that’s a healthy portion of the general viewing population.

Jerry Springer is by far the worst and most disgusting of the all the TV freak show hosts. I direct my comments to all that would undermine the decency of our nation and particularly our
impressionable children and that includes the producers, and the advertisers, right on down to the cameramen. Specifically, all that would aid and abet in the production of this garbage and the long-term systemic degradation of our once decent and respectful society.

This parasite, provides primetime television TV viewers, with an incredibly sick variety of human failures, misfits, exhibitionists, freaks, psychopaths, sexual deviates, cross dressers, and every other possible slack jawed, sick and violent human anomaly anyone could possibly assemble, at any one place, at any one time, anywhere on the face of the earth, and probably
anywhere in the universe.

Why does he do this? Fame and fortune what else? Any other reasons these people give you for doing what they do is a bald-faced lie! How long has Springer been doing this? Every day
and night for years and years. Sometimes several times a day on different channels. A classic case of 24 hour, in your face indoctrination. Just what our kids need to watch, Jerry Springer and his “Primetime Slime.”

Allow me to illustrate a small portion of one of Springer’s shows I happened to catch a few months ago at about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Just in time for our kids getting out of school. When I tuned in, the camera was close up, at the side, and slightly to the rear of a milky white skinned, grossly overweight, 65ish year old man with white hair. All he was wearing was his underpants while he stood in front of a full length mirror fondling himself from top to bottom with both hands while moaning ooh’s and ahh's in an obvious state of sexual excitation. Why
would anyone on earth want to watch such a disgusting scene? Why would anyone on earth not care if they’re seven-year-old little girl watched such a scene? What the hell is wrong with you America? Why do you put up with this disgrace in our public media and on primetime yet?

In the space just provided, please insert a word if you have one, that is more profound than the word “disgusting.” Unfortunately, is the most descriptive I can think of while trying very hard in this case to maintain a modicum of civility and curb my extensive knowledge of good
old American cuss words. Simply disgusting, leaves me with a monumental feeling of literary inadequacy.

Most of Springers guests are socially disturbed, violent people to say the least. (My apologies to the one normal, seemingly decent person out of a thousand that on occasion, gets sucked up into this cacophony of human oddities)

While Springer introduces these people making their entrance onstage, generally in underwear or some other sexually explicit or perverted attire, he’s usually hightailing it to the back of the studio where he cowardly hides behind the audience. Why? Because he knows
what’s coming next. Fist fights, screaming, yelling, flying stage props, sloppy-fat exhibitionists strutting their abused, no doubt smelly bodies, and language as disgusting as the man and his associates that bring us this swill.

I don’t know. I don’t have the words to adequately communicate my rage and shame. Where are you Richard Burton when I need you?
