Thats' true - No content / education / knowledge to gain from BumFights – In regards of character, he seems ignorant to me. He pays homeless people to do obscene things that you can’t even imagine yourself doing. That one scene where the dude is smashing some innocent person’s vehicle – Now for a second picture you, in your car and some dude walks up to your car smashing the shiit out of it. And that dude could do things beyond what his brain is capable of controlling, causing death to an individual – Yeah I forgot that’s hilarious?
Instead of helping the situation isn't he(Director/Producer of BumFights) making it worse? I mean this can't be positive attention, and obviously this isn’t something you would show your kids – if it is, clearly nothing to learn from.
Maybe it's public awareness because I believe that any attention is good attention. But approaching it like this, is more like yeah I'm making money of the homeless guys that need food, shelter, a second chance at life, but you know what, forget it – let me make my cake(money).
In regards of Dr.Phil exploiting his guests - I don't think that's the intention of the show. I feel that he is trying to help them, and those that watch the show, I mean it's reality and what people can relate to.
I mean, name-calling sure, that's Gr.2 but where's the substance in any of these comments?
