Talk Show Trash

These are some views on why talk shows are trash. They
do nothing at
all to improve any standard of living in this country, or others
also. The
shows are about ninety percent on topics that do not affect any
of us, or that
the people in general have any sort of interest in. All they do
is pollute
today's already sickening society with trashy ideas so that some
other idiot can
go out and try, after getting the idea from the show.
First we will start with Richard Bey, one of the
self-proclaimed kings
of daytime trash. Well did today's show have any meaning or
share common
interests of the general public not at all. Today's topic was
“engaged men
who wanted to tell their lovers about their secret gay lives”,
what trash this
was. It started off having the men come out and talk about their
women and then
about their gay partners. Then in front of millions of people
they brought out
the ladies on stage, to then embarrass them by talking in detail
about their gay
encounter, I was almost sick. One man actually told his fiancee
the he had sex

with one of her male cousins. Another told of his experiences of
picking up
male gay prostitutes in the streets of New York City on many
occasions. Now my
question is that is any of this even necessary for people to
watch, or the
embarrassment of the individuals and those mentioned in the show.
The next trash candidate would definitely be Jerry
Springer, who tries
so very hard at the end of his show to put real-life meaning to
the topics of
his show in “Springer's thought of the Day.” Topic this time is
“pssst I have
a secret to tell you.” During the duration of this show topics
ranged from a
forty year old women having an affair with an eighteen year old
boy. After the
women told her husband and him almost breaking down crying, they
then brought
the boy who was wearing one of the husbands gold chains that the
wife had given
him. Next a girl admitted to her boyfriend that she had
committed acts of
lesbianism with his older sister, after that how could the
brother learn live
with the betrayal of his girlfriend and sister. Finally there is
one of the
favorites for talk shows which is that I am already married.
This women who had
been dating this man for three told him about her being married

for the last ten
years.
Last but certainly not least we have Rikki Lake, and I
thought that this
show which was emotional but completely tasteless in the regards
of human
feelings. This show dealt with sexual lovers who wanted to
confess of them
being H.I.V. positive. I mean the emotions on this show were
unreal, but why do
this to a person on national television where the whole world
gets to watch
their reactions. Most of the people involved were having
unprotected sex so
their risk of having the disease is a reality. The excuse of
most of these
people, which made me sick, was that they were scared that if
they told them
before then they would lose that person forever. To even expose
the unknowing
party by being told in this way is just morally wrong. But at
least Rikki being
the ever so caring person that she is at least offered to have
arrangements made
to have the unknowing parties tested.
So when all this is said and done where does that leave
the viewers in
most of these programs? I say with a dillusional view of some of
the few sick
people of today's society, and just makes it look like another

common occurrence.
These shows are in bad taste, not caring who gets hurt but who
will get the
better ratings for this kind of torture or humility of others. I
can't even
fathom why any broadcasting company would even sponsor this kind
of public filth,
which I believe serves as a corrupting source of this nation.
