I agree, it'd be boring.

We have a generation or two weaned on The Jerry Springer Show.

If somebody doesn't get hit over the head with a chair once in a while, we lose interest.

They also said that the $14,400 he spent on the 4 wheelers is less then a week of interest on the money he invested.

They profile whatever type brings in the better ratings.

If they stuck to decent and socially responsible types, they'd have to interrupt every 20 minutes to tell you that if you like the programs they bring you to please consider a donation to support them. $10 donation for a pen, $50 for a totebag...

Although no government agency is willing to call the lottery a tax, it is none-the-less a source of implicit tax revenue.

have stopped watching the show my self

and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around why some of these idiots insist on buying the fastest and blingiest cars and SUV they can find just to show off

I mean even in the most recent dream car thread I mean its Aston Martin this Ferrari that and have virtually no bloomin onion idea about the many offerings nore the proud racing heritage nore all the offerings

it's their money, plus they are helping the economy if they are spending that much.

Anybody see last week's episode? Why do they keep profiling the same kind of nitwit? One guy blew through 3.5 mill in less than a year and a half. Another one spent $600,000 on cars alone, and another guy won 4.2 mill BEFORE taxes yet he's looking at mansions of more than 3 mill.

It's basically the same m.o. over and over. Just once I'd like to see somebody with some imagination and initiative who'll make a difference somewhere. Feed hungry children, start a scholarship fund, sponsor a school... [ More ]
