American couch potatoes tune in


"Hi, I'm Randy from Knockersville, Tennessee. I love working at HOOTERS!" The Best Damn Hooters Competition searches for the Hottest Hooter Girl. This is just one of the highly educational and poignant shows we have seen on free-to-air American TV. The bouncer on Jerry Spinger has his own talk show. There's another show where suspected cheating husbands and boyfriends undertake a lie detector test. The Jerry Springer Show has reached new standards. They have employed a double amputee with half a torso to crawl on stage behind the guests. The only Vietnamese person we had seen on Australian TV is Anh Do, the comedian. Now we've finally discovered a TV genre which Vietnamese people dominate: ESPN Sports Professional Gambling. When these highly relevant shows break for commercials, you can be further informed by ads for things such as itchy vagina cream, re-usable catheters, erectile dysfunction medication and personal injury lawyers who ride motorbikes. Literally.
