I must admit that I enjoy watching Jerry Springer almost every night. But after watching each episode, there is a gnawing uneasiness crawling up to my consciousness. How can people be cruel? That includes me. These people are just being themselves, appearing to be raw to the core, pure emotions raging unbridled, not giving heed to any thought of how they might appear to other people, or how low they have become for the entertainment of the public.
The audience are no better, making fun of people's teeth, calling them 'spongebob' among other things. It is just so unreal. These are real people, unless they are just hired acts, with feelings getting hurt deep within, tears rolling down their cheeks, faith betrayed, hopes dashed by people they care about.
The year is 2011, yet the savage nature of human beings remain strong as it has ever been even before the Roman Catholic Inquisition.
There may not be killings on stage, but to be entertained by the destruction of other's peoples lives is equally savage as impaling a person to its death in public.
