Some of these are good reasons but others made me raise my eyebrow. You found an unexplained tooth in your house? I guess that is a cause for concern but infidelity hardly seems like the right conclusion.
Stains in your husband's shorts? Find me a guy who doesn't have those and I'll be surprised.
I can't figure talk shows out. People fight to get on them to air their dirty laundry so they can be harshly judged by strangers. I'm not one for assigning heaps of morality to a given situation, but the complete lack of any coherent moral compass in this arena makes me kind of sick.
It's the brief, shining spotlight of fleeting celebrity that draws the moths in.
Their worthless, pathetic lives are somehow, in their minds, justified because however stupidly they've acted, they're on TV now (YEE haw! *fires rifle into air*). Their actions now have the moral sanction of the country for being OK, now that we're watching it on TV.
We watch because it makes us feel superior. They're there because it makes them feel necessary and wanted.
If the true reality were to ever set in for them, and they got a true glimpse of where they truly stand in the evolution of the species, (I mean a TRUE true glimpse), then I would hope and expect that they would simply end their lives on the spot.
This has been Eugenic Moral Roundtable, with your draconian host, Handsome Stan.
Next on Maury...
Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it. I guess it's the hypocracy that continues to bug me, although I should know better. Maybe hypocracy is too simple a word... but the superiority you mention is a result of people moralizing, but what they're moralizing about in the moment doesn't adhere to any actual code. For instance, I'm sure the audience is reacting far less to the fact this guy slept with his fiance's mother as they are to the fact that he slept with a withered old crone mummy.
Ah, whatever. I'll just go back to not caring.
It's true, it's much easier that way.
You just hope when things finally get sorted out, from an Apocalypse standpoint, that the killer virus or aliens or zombies or dogs with bees in their mouths will attack these people first, while we figure out how to survive.
