Judge calls Jeremy Kyle show "human bear-baiting"

[Gromit]

I caught a show when I was off ill and found it hillarious. His mock indignation and storming off just before the add break (how well timed was that ). He is so full of shit its funny but not on a regular basis I might add. Only as a one off.

Its worrying that people don't watch it with the ire and contempt that I did though. Its car crash TV. Human bear baiting is a great phrase for it too.

It could be worse mind. Remember Killroy!

There was a rumour in a trashy mag I read last week about a TV host who promotes family values who is having affairs all over the shop. They were saying what a hypocrite he was. It didn't name names and I'm not accusing so don't sue, but I did wonder if it was Jezza.

They had that as a "Wicked Whisper" in the 3am column in the Mirror and I thought exactly the same thing.

The way they phrased it, they virtually named him.

Im sure they make those wicked whispers up.
Unpleasantly self righteous as he is, if anyone had any dirt on him, they would have buried him by now.

 

[May Kasahara]

Judging by the psychotic light in his eyes, I think it's more likely he's buried them

I don't know why the papers go for some people and not others.

There is a well known (in music circles) fact about Danni Minouge (sp?) that has never been reported.

They will. They are just saving it up for when it will sell the most papers without replacing existing milage.

In other words, they haven't bothered before becuase heh she was of little public interest. They'll build her up via x-factor until she is ripe to be knocked down and cash in then.

Yep, I'm a he

How many times!! You'd make a fine lady, though I bet.

I'm not sure how I should take that!

 

[Kizmet]

Maybe you need to talk about it....

I see massive fail in this matchmaking attempt

spill the beans then!

Since the trial this week that fined a guest
on the Jeremy Kyle show for head-butting his
love rival, it's been open season in the tabloids
on the TV presenter. Even the judge in the case
called the show "a human form of bear-baiting".
But Jeremy doesn't know yet quite how bad it
could get. The papers are sniffing around, and
offering us bribes, following our past hint
that Kyle's been behaving a bit more like a
guest on his own show than a married, upstanding
pillar of the community. As Jeremy told the
Mirror this week, "Sometimes people need to
be stripped bare before they can be helped."


From Popbitch....

 

[Roadkill]

I think the judge is absolutely right, tbh. This kind of TV - and most 'reality' TV, for that matter - is exploitative and nasty. It's all designed to get people wound up and angry, because that supposedly makes good TV. It's not a million miles away IMO from the old practice of charging sixpence admission to Bedlam, to come and have a laugh at the lunatics.

 

[Melinda]

I'm not sure how I should take that!

I was being gently reassuring.

The shows sponsor has now cancelled their sponsorship deal - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7019266.stm

And guess who was sponsoring it? You couldn't make it up

The sponsors of ITV1's The Jeremy Kyle Show have cancelled their £500,000-a-year deal over concerns about the programme's content.
Ufi, which runs the government's adult learning service, Learndirect, said the deal was "no longer appropriate".

No shit!

 

[Melinda]

That is so much bullshit from Learn Direct. They come out of this looking like very cynical chumps wasting public money.

They KNOW about the programme content and chose to target that particular audience. Talk about fairweather friends.

They used to sponsor This Morning, left them, next Trisha and now JK.
