Do you know who has the most disgusting, obscene show on TV?
Edited on Fri Feb-18-05 11:45 AM by glarius
The most obscene person on TV is Maury Povich...It is incredible to me that Janet Jackson's nipple and Bono saying the "F" word can be the measurement for obscenity on American television....I was just flipping through the channels and there was that paragon of virtue, Maury Povich, with his latest edition of "who's the father?"....I have noticed him having these shows several times before but never watched them all the way through ...This time I did watch it, just to see how bad it really is....For half an hour the parade went on....women claiming the men had fathered their children and the men denying it....After each shouting session Maury produces a document from some DNA lab to prove or disprove paternity....The terrible thing is that the little children were brought on stage too....In my opinion this is not only obscene, it is child abuse!....I find that sanctimonious phony Povich to be the most obscene thing on TV!.....I don't understand why the law doesn't protect these children from being exploited like this!....It's DISGUSTING!...:puke:
P.S...Jerry Springer's shows may be tasteless and trashy, but I don't believe he ever has children as a part of the "entertainment."

1. I was thinking more Howard Stern
but Povich and Springer are good too.

2. I'm thinking of obscenity in a different way.
The obscenity of exploiting children, which is much worse than the use of obscene language a la Howard Stern...IMO....

4. Precisely the kind of thing South Park went after Povich for in the
Freak of the Weak episode.

You have to realize that the show wouldn't exist if people didn't watch

6. I don't care about the idiot parades usually...
but you have a very important point about having the children subjected to this idiocy.

But of course we all know an innnocent little titty is FAR more dangerous to kids, right? :eyes:
