And the Winner is?

Just had a quick look at the papers.. and I couldn't believe my eyes. WTF is going on? Have taste, decency and a sense of what's right  and wrong completely disappeared? 

Are we actually living on JERRY SPRINGER PLANET? Has The Telegraph completely lost it's marbles?

Schoolboy father: Alfie Patten may open DNA test results on live television :Alfie Patten, the schoolboy who has allegedly become a parent aged 13, may open the DNA test results which will prove if he fathered his girlfriend's baby on live television, it has been reported.

Cashing in on birth and death, those moments in life that should be private and between families has been become a circus act. In days of old, we displayed people with birth defects as interesting or amusing freaks in a sideshow. Have we gone back in time? 

This is the ultimate in bad taste... 

Is the rest of the world like this, or is it only the UK? I'm fucked if I know whats happening!
