4 TV Shows That Prove Humanity Is Doomed

1. The Jeremy Kyle Show - 'War'

Jeremy Kyle 5 So here it, here's war, the numero uno. All of the vile poison that runs through the veins of the other choices on the list can count this as the beating heart that makes it all possible. It is the antithesis to sanity in almost every respect. The premise? Take people from a specific background with specific behavioural values who should never ever be allowed to reproduce, get them together in front of a studio audience and then watch some pig headed bullying psychopath shout at them as they shout at each other. Each show is based around a theme, like 'How can I marry this man when he's actually my friends wife?', or 'Lie Detector Results, let's ruin peoples already fragile minds with pseudo-science'. A psychiatrist, who actually looks like a seedy eighteenth century necromancer, is then brought on to mediate between the warring parties. It's simply and utterly ridiculous, and very worrying. Which leads me onto the main man of the show, Jeremy Kyle himself. There is not enough profanity in any language that could provide a summation of how much of a complete tool this man is. Delusions of adequacy abound with this man as he minces around aggressively shouting at everybody and telling them how worthless they are. The show targets a specific demographic of entrants into its freak show, the kind of people that throw stones at you for stringing a sentence together. Then, it proceeds to tear them apart in the most barbaric and manipulative way. What's worse however, is that the demon of idiocy that is Kyle actually believes that he's helping people. Of all the shows on this list, this is the singular show that actually worries a code of morality, it is really just wrong and should be removed from the air. In a world where freedom of speech is actively encouraged, and then actively snuffed out. Plus the fact that a single joke about something close to the line can lose you your job, it's a wonder of the modern world as to why this show is still allowed to exist. Bottom line, it's bullying for entertainment. Why War? Because like war, it combines pestilence, famine and death, and wraps it up into a package of doomsday prophecy. Yet whereas war is a natural state of humanity, the Jeremy Kyle show is just an unnatural state.
