I already agreed that it's a sick and exploitative show and the fact that it is shown alongside of equally vapid and impoverished reality programming is precisely why I don't even have basic programming and do not watch television outside of the few shows that I like on Netflix. My only point is that it is impossible to maintain that no one watches with sympathy and that people only watch to laugh.
That there are a lot of selfish and antisocial assholes in the world who probably watch that show without sympathy is not in doubt.
