Ya put some colorful shorts and t shirts on a bunch of street thugs, pay them millions of dollars and you've still got a bunch of street thugs. Brawls, sexual assaults, you name it. And any yutz who mouths off at them probably deserves whatever he gets although it shouldn't happen in the first place.

I blame whoever started giving a voice to the low-lifes of the world in the first place. Jerry Springer wasn't the first. Rikki Lake maybe. Showing real people's unacceptable behavior on TV only reinforced that sort of behavior with all the unemployable bottom feeders of society who are sitting at home watching it in the first place.

Now, taking advantage of real people who don't know any better is big business on the tube. Very sad. Train wreck T.V. I work with kids from these families for a living trying to keep them from turning out like this. This sort of crap doesn't make it any easier.
