Today is my day off, so I was channel flipping, trying to find something decent to watch. I was surprised to see that Jerry Springer was still on the air, and I paused to see what ridiculous title this show had.

I never expected to be so incredibly offended. The show title is "Trannies and Carnies." The first guests I saw were a man and two transvestite women who duked it out on the show while carnival performers walked around in the background. Later there were actual carnival workers with angry love triangles as well.

I'm completely disgusted. Why are transvestites being linked to "carnies," a term that generally refers to freaks and societal outsiders. I know it's Jerry Springer, but this seems more vile than his typical tripe and I wanted to share my disgust.
