Jerry SpringerJerry Springer deserves an article, if not an entire web site, all to himself. Fortunately for Jerry, his production company is already one step ahead of us. Springer has two official sites. These two sites say not only reveal a great deal about Springer and his "talk" show, but the two sites' different tones & formats also say a great deal about the duality of man. |
Sprechen Sie Springer?

For instance, the "Official Jerry Springer Site" portrays Jerry as a tactful and sympathetic host who moderates a logical panel discussions and listens to his guests' problems with a father's compassion.
What?
That's not the Jerry Springer Show that I get on my TV.
No, the show I get is much more like the Jerry Springer Show portrayed on Jerry World, the other official Springer site.

The main purpose of this site, as if the URL www.GetJerry.com weren't obvious enough, is to get you to buy Jerry's Too Hot for TV videos. That's right, kids, videos! You know plural, with an "s" a the end. Jerry & crew have decided to offer not just one video of crazy confrontations & wild "you stole my man" catfights, but an entire series of videos for you enjoyment and their financial gain. Better yet, there are multilingual versions of the site. Thereby maximizing the commercial potential! |
This blatant exercise in crass commercialism goes one step further and offers other Springer Merchandise. T Shirts, Caps, Beer Steins, Drink Holders, Shot Glasses, and, wow they did their market research, bowling ball bags!
But Wait There's More!
Imagine how much spiffy your trailer or beat up old Chevy Nova will look with a brand-spanking new Jerry Springer License Plate Holder. Phrases include: Jerry Springer... Too Hot!, I'd Rather Be Watching Springer, and, my personal favorite, My Wives Loves Jerry Springer.
Nothing
Says Happy Father's Day
Like a Jerry Springer License Plate Holder!
If you want to look preppy, but you don't want to forget your socio-economic roots, you can always sport a Jerry Springer Polo Shirt, located in the aptly named, "Duds: Sunday Best" section of the Springer Store. Won't those snobs at the country club be jealous!
