They`re like reality shows; their main function is to make all the pitiful individuals who secretly suspect they suck at life convince themselves that they don`t by dragging in the absolute most extreme fringes of society and putting them in the spotlight.

Jerry springer is the champ at facilitating the denial bubble.
