Ha, ha. Yeah, that's the basis of a LOT of trainwreck television journalism. "Look at that trainwreck of a life--at least I'm not over THERE."
Same thing goes for the paedo Dateline episodes. "Oh, look at those sick bastards. At least I don't do THAT."
But there's nothing educational about them, no depth. Just shock entertainment.
