Maury just has paternity tests, but Springer can bring every form of poor trash and make them laugh as he roasts them to their face.

I don't think I've ever watched an episode of either.

How the **** have you avoided them? I don't care how pretentious you are they are both high level entertainment when you're bored in the middle of the day with nothing to do.

When I'm bored in the middle of the day I play music, work on my writing, take my pipe on a hike, sleep, hit up the homies, or dick around online. Also, Netlflix and Youtube and **** exist and my middays are usually pretty booked.

Bruh, watch an episode of Maury. It's like crack. It's the worst thing ever made but it makes a train wreck look like Tchaikovsky in the best way possible. As odd as it is to say, Springer is the same but somehow more comedically refined.

You should know by now that "omg check it out it sucks so bad" isn't a genre that I'm into.

My surface level google search didn't turn up much, but how controversial was the Trail of Tears at the time?
Jackson’s refusal to follow a Supreme Court ruling was more controversial than the mistreatment on Native Americans. Jackson was fantastic at selling anything as humanitarian. There was a kernel of truth in the argument that leaving the Cherokee in Georgia was indeed a de facto death sentence. The typical mostly apolitical white person was either indifferent or vaguely in favor of measures that made them less likely to encounter dangerous Indians. Even though it was a different time and place hysteria over events like the Enoch Brown school massacre still reverberated. And it wasn’t like today where people actually saw footage of what was really going on.

It's not that it sucks so bad, it's that it exposes the most embarrassing parts of society in a way that's hilarious rather than depressing. It's unintentionally artistic in how devoid of artistic merit it is. But I suppose I'm touching on the ICP argument again.

I don't think you do. You sound like TH trying not to listen to hip hop.
