Vocabulary Help Please

November 27th, 2006 -

I’ve been looking for a word that describes an unhealthy degree of interest in blood-n-guts things, or person-harms-person things that one might typically see, and some might sometimes applaud, during prime-time on the idiot box.
I looked up the words “prurient” and “salacious” in my Oxford English Dictionary, both of those words have specifically to do with sex.
There seems to be no similar word to describe the kind of person who likes to watch prime-time idiot box shows, with all their violence, deceit, theft, corruption, and other such things that seem not to bother “society” nearly as much as sexuality, no matter how gentle and harmless.

Ain’t it the truth.

You what really make them squirm?

Breast feeding.

Whaaaaaaaaaaa.

You’d think a drugged up stripper with bags of goo inserted into their bodies shaking them in lost souls’ faces would do it. But really. Breastfeeding.

Idiots
