I even know a girl who was on Jenny Jones.

There's a movie you probably shouldn't see called Idiocracy. It's pretty awful, but the premise consists of a man being frozen for 500 years, only to wake up and find the world inhabited by complete morons, as all of the smart people refused to breed anywhere near as much as the stars of COPS did. Sounds like a horror, doesn't it?
I guess it was actually sort of funny. Anyways, my cats and I enjoyed it while we drank our Juicy-Juice and ate Government cheese.
sounds like the premise to "demolition man"

They should seriously consider making a pay TV channel that just plays COPS 24-7. With a recession coming onto full swing, crime rates will climb up so there will never be a shortage of young smartarses that need to be pulled over, tazed, handcuffed and beaten within an inch of their life for not indicating, feeding their cat cheese or something...

You got the right to be on TV.
Its easy, find out when COPS is in your neighbourhood, put bootpolish on your face and fill your pockets with zippy bags full of icing sugar.

Seeing as how I'd likely be the first dark-skinned man any cops in my state have ever seen, they'd likely shoot me dead rather than haul me off.

Ive always wondered this about cops-How in the hell can they broadcast these people on tv without them signing a release? It seems like a huge violation of rights, they don't even blur their faces judging from a few episodes I have seen recently.
and I cant stand the useless sting of sending in a hot female cop to offer sexual services for 15 bucks to old men that are trippin on life and are proably in the early stages of dementia. WTF, that is like 2 drinks at the bar. Creating criminals out of nothing is what they are doing.
I often don't here these people's rights being read properly, and even though its fully documented there seems to be no repurcussions at all.

So I'm doomed to have stupid kids? Nooooooooo....
Seriously though, do you have a study supporting this? Two reasons:
a) It seems completely at odds with the idea of "natural selection" and valuable traits being passed on.
b) My own experience says that this is wrong. All the smart kids at school seemed to have intelligent parents too, though I guess that leads towards the whole "nature vs nurture" debate.
