Judge Judy and her ilk prompt us to laugh at poor people

What a load of bollix.

Sheindlin is calling it as it is-how the fuck can a 16 year old be prepared for mother/fatherhood? If you have kids, make sure you can afford and care for them, feed and clothe them and give them the best chance in life.

And it's not just poor people she has a go at. Watch the video at the link.

We need more like her.

Springer was fake from the get go. The people who went on his show were getting an all expenses paid vacation to Chicago (later Stamford, CT). They were to make buffoons of themselves in repayment. I've never heard a single complaint from anyone on the show.

So what if it wasn't real R2? If the people watching it believed it was, they were still displaying the behavior that the OP describes.

Even worse are the Spanish language talk shows—always showing the lower class darker Latin Americans as having the social problems with the fair skinned talk show host moderating everything

It is about laughing at trashy people. Not all poor people are trashy, the author insults poor people if they conflate the two.

These people are not actors on Judge Judy. They choose to go on there. One of my favorites is the one between the hillbilly sisters, one of whom hit a deer with the other's car and then ate the deer.

Thank you, R5.

any link?

Kisses, OP.

Looks like Jessica Walter.

Is she trying to look like Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

I can't stand the phrase "bad choices" to rationalize stupid and moronic behavior.

Ese es mi lema, "What`s up baby!"!

I love Judge Judy and her straight talk! If people don't want to hear her version of the truth then they don't have to go on/watch her show.

You can't blame Scheindlin from being cynical when they have to spend their working days with trash.

Hey! Hey, Betty Boo-Hoo! Think YOU got problems?! Baba Wawa is dying in that "Alzheimer's Condo" I bought in partnership with her, Cindy Adams and Molinsky. Bitch is never gonna leave because she's never gonna die! MORE of my hard-earned money down the crapper. OY!
