Jerry! Jerry Jerry!

I decided to do some cardio today and in doing so, inadvertently caught Jerry Springer's show. The TV was set on mute, so I couldn't hear anything, but from what I could make out, it was a show dealing with women whose boyfriends wore only neckties. Typical for a Springer show, sure.



But, what wasn't typical was that about 3/4 of the way through the show, Jerry, the guests, and the audience suddenly got up, crossed their hearts, and sung the Star Spangled Banner. An entire trashy talk show studio mouthing the words to the US anthem, while some IT whiz edited a waving flag behind them. Wha? Wha happened? Was there something about the episode, something about men wearing only neckties, that was particularly Patriotic? Were they sons of Founding Fathers who only wore neckties? What level had Jerry stooped to or what heights had he flown towards? I'll never know. If only the sound were on.
