BDSM & Jerry Springer... oy vay

[Pandora's Box]

Yes... I do know that most of the people on that show run the gamut from liars to attention whores to white trash. I also realize that even if there is a grain of truth in every story on there, it is sensationalized to the extreme.

But it still bothers me that those images were portrayed. Not just the image, but of the substance as well. From the ultra tacky dungeon gear wearing "dominant" to the "put your collar on now, bitch".

It was like a double whammy. Of course, it's not like I expect high and lofty things from the Jerry Springer Show. Just the opposite. But it's not the show that bothers me.

Like it or not, all walks of life watch Springer. The show is exported across the globe, all socioeconomic groups, all sexual orientations, all class groups. I've seen the rich and classy hooked on this show just as much as the white trash. It's reach is amazing.

And this is what they picked up from it.

With any luck, they'll have thought it was a joke too. Granted, I wasn't laughing. But it was a joke.

According to that show, everyone everywhere is a sick freak. Which places us well within the norm either way.
