Shocker: Girlfriend is really a man!!! *gasp* FIGHT!!! (Trash TV)

I'm not proud of uploading this show but it's important to see how the lgbt community is portrayed on TV -- especially on supposedly non-fiction and "reality" TV. Yes, some viewers actually believe this stuff. I had friends from Germany who thought that this show represents the average American! I had no idea that it was seen around the world.

In a 2002 TV Guide poll. the show was voted "the Worst TV Show Ever." And in 1998, many stations refused to air an episode titled, "I Married a Horse." I may have seen that episode in an archive, which includes a woman who married her washing machine because sitting on the vibrating appliance gave her orgasms. That same year, the NY Times found that each episode had 85-130 bleeps for unacceptable language. In 2000, Springer admitted to Reuters, "I would never watch my show. I'm not interested in it. It's not aimed towards me. This is just a silly show."

In Springer's defense, he treats everyone equally. Heterosexuals look just as ridiculous. In that sense, this show is actually very pro-gay in that gays are treated as just normal -- or abnormal -- Americans. As a sidenote, poorly-educated and lower-economic Blacks and Southerners make up the bulk of their guests so one can argue that those groups are more victimized.

As for the British-born Springer, he's actually very intelligent and quick-witted. He has a law degree and was mayor of Cincinnati, OH. He ends each show with a serious commentary that can easily be part of a NY Times Op-Ed. I also have a copy of Springer's show before it became stupid. The topic was gay rodeos and Springer was no worse than Oprah. There was no exploitation or titillation, and lots of information. It went downhill in 1994 to get ratings and by 1998, he was beating Oprah in many cities.

Kind of sad how so many people are ignorant of transgender/transexual people. I mean they make it seem like they really aren't the sex they are trying to be. He thinks he's gay for being with a MTF transexual? I don't think so...they are female, with a woman's body, mannerisms, etc....why didn't Jerry say anything like that, not to mention he attacked her as if she was a man =/ By the way are you going to upload the "gay rodeos episode"?

[MitsuomiKun]

I can't believe he actually tries to hit her ...

@GamingTranceSeer Ignorant? You don't think it was ignorant fooling a man into thinking it was a woman?

[GamingTranceSeer]

@DamienNeverwinter it's sad, because people like him and apparently you can't comprehend that that individual is transgender. In other words, they are female, they feel female, they eventually make their bodies female too, or vise versa if they had a female body they become men. The fact that you use the words "IT" and you consider them a guy as well proves my point about how so many people are ignorant of transgender individuals.

@Desi4evah the person getting the secret gets a completely different reason from the real one

[Desi4evah]

Good, this video proves that gays and transsexuals are dishonest people!

[Desi4evah]

This is so fucking fake. He just touches her, and she slaps him. Weirdos!

[Desi4evah]

Quick question: When they appear on the show, don't they ask them why they are being on the show?

[Desi4evah]

@MrOnionterror Yeah, no kidding. And her voice.

[Desi4evah]

But she's a woman. LOL. I can't comprehend that she's a man. LOL.
