I guess I'll go on national television and tell everybody what a loser I am."
I think shows like Dr. Phil prey on people like that. That guy will put anyone on the air as long as they've done something incredibly stupid that is occasionally illegal or at least immoral.

I cant watch shows like that, because it makes me sad to see how stupid some people can be, and even more sad to realize how many of them are out there! Plus, the shows really are not that entertaining.

I'm sure occasionally they'll have a decent group of people on the show and that the show will be informative and educational, it's that the times they get the weirdos to come on that keep me away from shows like that.
