"I Love You, How Could You Sleep With My Mom?"

If that doesn't beat the crap out of sleaze and dysfunctionality, I don't know what does. Jerry Springer, the show that's "wasting technology since 1991", is this monster its creator created. It sticks a tongue out at losers, makes sport out of their misery ( fits them ), makes the bloodthirsty audience do like the romans do ( shame on them ), and provides guilty pleasure for you, you, and you!

Ask me, and I'll tell you that ever the moralist, I'm never remiss in telling my kids to stay away from the channel whenever that show is on, because it's trashy and it's bad, bad, bad. Needless to say, it's an exercise in futility.

As I sit here quite awake this early morning, I am thinking about how pandan essence and a pat of butter turns the simplest cup of instant coffee into an early morning wonder. And what was I just thinking? Oh yes. "The Deer Hunter And The Army Girl" -- I gotta look up what deer hunter means.

Oh by the way, that was the title on the early morning rerun of the Jerry Springer show today.

Some hypocrite I am.
