This is an American response to Juvenal for times approaching the end of the American Empire. Replete with predictable fights, estranged relationships, plots that beggar the ability of an Aristophanes, and enough curses to make the screen turn blue. Indeed, it will serve as a capsule for future generations to understand the collapse of its society and morality. Springer serves to dish up the bread and circuses that Romans were addicted to; much like modern-day lotophagi, we simply sit stupefied in front of the screen watching one incomprehensible scene after another in a monotonous refrain. That there is no background information but solely fight after expletive-driven fight is a re-enactment of La Dolce Vita, with Springer the (unwitting?) Mastrionni at the end of his productive career. A shocking indictment of America today. http://lairdkeir.spaces.live.com
