I'm working at home today and I've had the misfortune of putting Jeremy Kyle show and there are these twin sisters who are on the game and one is engaged to a bloke and she's not attractive with a voice that makes you want to slap her and ARGH!

Do these people on Jeremy Kyle exist in reality?

There are millions of them. Literally millions.

Why do you think your tax bill is so high?

On Yes. You just have to go to the right town.

Try Hull. Or any of about 3,000 others...

I did a similar thing a few weeks ago - and flicked over to it, thinking I'd never actually seen an episode, I may aswell see what there is to hate.

I, genuinely, lasted about 5mins before having to turn over. It's infuriating and petrifying all at the same time.

It's train wreck TV - it's horrendous and awful but I'm sitting here thinking that there are people that need to be taken out and shot.

I can't stand jeremy kyle, it's the equivalent of bear baiting, they just made idiot tv for stupid people populated by stupid people.
If they actually helped them at the end i wouldn't find it so abhorrent.

No no, I think you miss the point. It's all about voyeurism. It makes me feel soooo good about myself smile

The only gripe of course, as Mr Soovy says, is that we are paying for the feckless, y morons.

Busy then? smile

The people who appear on that show are the types of people who are the real reason for the banking crisis. Borrowing beyond their means to repay and lying about their earnings to get loans from banks who were never given the proper regulation from the government to prevent the problem. At least the show can get a large number of them together in one big space to easily gas them, whilst sending a subliminal message to all of the others watching the show on TV to do the same.

:P

Very - trying to get my SCVMM environment working - much waiting and delays.

At any rate - tt looks like Jeremy Kyle is supposed to help, but while that weird twin sister story was on, they said that the same lot were on a couple of years ago, so it clearly doesn't.

I actually switched over to Radio 4 and "Woman's Hour"...

I used to think they couldn't be real and they must all be actors.

Then the company I work for relocated to Bletchley. Unfortunately they really do exist

British version of Jerry Springer and thats all I see it as. As much as people moan like hell about it there must be a market for this sort of thing.

I mean look how popular Springer was in about 1996 (ish)! Oh, how we laughed at the fighting 'rednecks' or 'I shagged 15 men' when it was on. Now I suppose its 'over here' people are now feeling uncomfortable about it seeing how parts of the UK are slowly sliding into the same lifestyle.

I catch glimpses of some shows and I expect shouts of 'Jerry! Jerry!'.

Some people lead a life that looks like a continuing car crash. I give you this, as an example -

J is 24 , never worked properly for any length of time,is sleeping with a young girl T, who has a kid by someone else already. T's mum H is living with a mate of J's, lets call him S!(And yes, there is something of an age gap here - about 20 years!)

None of these people really have held any meaningful job for any length of time, and live in council accomodation and exist on benefits.

J and T split up, as do S and H. T announces that she is pregnant, and the father is probably J, but not 100%!

After a suitable time (about a week) , S and T decide to shack up together, to the annoyance of J - cue disintegration of any friendships among the three of them.

Move forward to the point the young baby is due, and a month or so before J and H decide to embark on a secret relationship!

So at this point, its a bit like wife swap, only in secret.

The baby is born, and could well be J's ,but who knows?

I have suggested to them they should appear on Jeremy Kyle, and ascertian parentage, and we could all have a bit of a laugh at their expense.

I have not even begun on the Social Services involvement, the phone calls to the police, the driving bans, etc etc.

Its a real life car crash , that if you saw it on Eastenders you would dismiss as too far fetched.

Sadly, it is true.

Do you people not understand! Its a conspiracy I's tells thee!!

Look at the time its on. You are recovering flu/migraine/plague and have just rung in to tell the boss that you won't be back until tomorrow. In fact, you feeling well enough to go in now but you just fancy some extra time under the duvet.
So then a day of doing nothing, lets pop the TV on and see whats happening..... and then you are assaulted by the horror that is ChavKyleFreaks!!!

And thats what the subliminal message is, do you see? Get back to work!! Get back to work!! Or you'll turn out like these people!! You'll become a chav!!! GET BACK TO WORK!!

Next day you'll be back at your desk, working like a beaver.
