Jeremy Kyle
perpetuates and magnifies the problems frankly.

It's like walking into a pub and telling everyone to their face they have a 'drink problem' and they're a 'disgrace'.

The people who (misguidedly) agree to end up on that show are treated like shit and then shat out again. Kyle and the like really don't give a fuck.

Makes you wonder what causes the dregs to apply for that show, rather than get REAL help.
It's a mindset I'll never understand. I'm sure if you did have a drinking problem, or you think your child is someone elses, you wouldn't want millions of people to know.

But you get on the TELLY.
Probably around 70% of the peasant underclass in Britain or the US would jump joyfully at the chance to appear on TV for any reason at all, even if it meant being dunked in sump oil and slowly lowered onto a rotating porcupine.

Mm, fame is an irresponsible thing.
I imagine they apply for the show, thinking TV and movie companies will be on the phone to them for months after, yet they end up just looking like a pasty unemployed tit.

Yippee ki-yay, pasty unemployed motherfucker.

They probably don't know where to go for herlp, or can't afford it.
I'm not defending the heinous exploitation-fest that is Jeremy Kyle's show in any way. I do, however, doubt the many of the people appearing on it would know what type of help they required, or where to get it. Paternity tests look pretty expensive too, especially seeing as I imagine most people appearing on the show live from benefit cheque to benefit cheque counting every penny they have to spend on frozen pizzas, fags and "cider".
