Moral Decline

I had the day off today. Did the shopping, ran some errands and added a couple of functions to my Congress app. Just out of curiosity I checked the TV guide to see what I’ve been missing by being a working stiff…

There were the usual soap operas, cooking, and advice shows but I was struck by the number of shows that illustrate the general ignorance and moral decline of our country.

I’ve compiled a list of today’s morning crap content, which doesn’t even include NBC:

• Maury – I’m 26, I’ll Prove This 74-Year-Old Is My Baby’s Dad!
  • A woman is accused of using an older man by claiming he’s her child’s father
  • A man signed a child’s birth certificate, but the mom declares he was never in a relationship with her
  • A man’s aunt believes his wife is sleeping around

• Jerry Springer – Threesome with Two Sisters
  • A man wants to admit to his girlfriend, the mother of his kids, that he had a drunken threesome with two sisters
  • A man wants to propose to a woman that cheats and uses him for his money
  • A woman wants her husband to come back to her

• Trisha Goddard – The DNA Test Will Prove My Brother is Not Your Baby’s Dad
  • A man’s sister convinced him that he wasn’t the father to his girlfriend’s baby and now he wants answers
  • An ex-husband and his mother believe that he may not be the father to his supposed 3-year-old daughter, DNA results shared

• Jerry Springer – Baby Mama Beat Down
  • A boyfriend cheats with his girlfriend’s sister
  • A woman tells another woman to leave her boyfriend alone
  • A woman who fights with her boyfriend

• Steve Wilkos – Are You Having an Affair?
  • A woman who has always suspected her boyfriend of cheating wants him to prove he has been faithful
  • After accusations of marital infidelity led to a divorce, cheating allegations once again threaten to end a couple’s mended relationship

• Bill Cunningham – Fierce Fighting Women
  • Men who have had enough of their women’s violent behavior come to Bill before things get worse

• Maury – Did My Fiance Cheat and Have A Baby with My Best Friend?
  • Dorella’s best friend Amanda admitted to sleeping with her fiance, and now Amanda is claiming that he may be the father of her son

I’m officially embarrassed to live here. Thank god Obama’s going to fix everything!
