BUZZURRO

Overall I like American TV. It is much much better than Italian TV. The newscasters are serious and respectful. The gameshow hosts are all different (instead of the few in Italy who seem to host many shows), and here are no half naked girls dancing around on any show for no purpose other than getting male viewers interested. It’s not all great though. In the US there is trash-talk TV. Back in my day the hosts of such sleazy programs were Jerry Springer, or Geraldo Rivera, but now, I just don’t know who they are.

They talk about anything. Nothing is sacred on these shows. I’m not saying that certain subjects should be taboo and never talked about, but not as a trashy TV program, with the most sleaziest, classless people found in the US to discuss their private stories, which in my opinion should remain private.

It shocks me how people can sit on a stage in front of presumable millions of people, and share personal details. I mean, on one show a girl was telling the audience (and TV) when was the last time she had sex. The girl in question was 5 months pregnant. Obviously she had it at least once in her life, but I did not think it was appropriate to tell exactly when to the world.

Then she told everybody that her boyfriend was cheating on her with a ’skanky old whore.’ Well, whether the other woman in question is skanky or a whore is business between them both and not the world. Perhaps the other woman didn’t even know about the first girlfriend being pregnant. In`that case, the man should be the skanky person, shouldn’t he? Then she gets out of her chair on stage and parades around the room saying that she looks beautiful and nobody should cheat on her.

Then her boyfriend comes on the TV and says that he is not cheating. I didn’t stay to watch the ’skanky whore’ other woman, whom her boyfriend defines as a ‘business associate’ defend herself. Who cares anyway about such smut! Keep it amongst yourselves!
