Jerry Springer

I admit when I channel surf I do watch snippets of Jerry Springer. I have wondered where they get the people who appear on the show and why. There never seems to be any resolution made between the people. Just lots of fighting and hair pulling, mainly by the women. What brings me to the show is I actually know someone who appeared on the show. Well I don't actually know him. But I did read about him in the paper. Seems a man in the local area went on the show with his girlfriend and the stripper he cheated on his girlfriend with. The show was pretty exciting with the man and his girlfriend duking it out while the stripper did a mean pole dance. I hate I missed the show. But the icing on the cake so to speak for the man was his parole officer was watching the show. I guess being on Jerry Springer is a parole violation plus crossing state lines doesn't help. So now the man sits in jail. Where I don't know. A few days after the article appeared, a letter to the editor asked what was the probation officer doing watching Jerry Springer during his work time. My immediate thought was he was catching a parole violator. But after further thought not all of the contestants come from this area. I will ponder further on this and maybe blog more later.
