Talk shows and cartoons have become a way
ol life lor some here on campus. Manv have be
come obsessed with watching Jerry Springer
and/or South Park. Students have been known
to schedule classes around their TV habits.
While this is extreme, many will slop whatever
they are doing to watch the transvestites on Jerry
Springer or watch South Park to discover the
identity of Erie Cartman's father.
If one goes into Bruno's on any w eekday be
tween 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. it is very likely you
will hnd students watching Jerry Springer. There
are always tables full of students laughing at the
outrageous things on the show. Everyone seems
to love watching it; all of the fistfights. shoe

watching with sheer craziness. The shows are
crude but amusing with many topics that are truly
bizarre. While many students love the shows there
are a few who do not find them as amusing.

exhibited by these shows with a lighter stride.
Sheila Rivera, 02 Geoscience, says about Jerry
Springer “I love to watch it because of all the

students who enjoy South Park and Jerry Springer

lobbies and crowding into dorm rooms in an at
