✦ If an average person on the subway turns to you, like an ancient mariner,
✦ and starts telling you her tale, you turn away or nod and hope she stops,
✦ not just because you fear she might be crazy. If she tells her tale on
✦ camera, you might listen. Watching strangers on television , even
✦ responding to them from a studio audience, we're disengaged -- voyeurs
✦ collaborating with exhibitionists in rituals of sham community. Never
✦ have so many known so much about people for whom they cared so little.
✦ -- Wendy Kaminer commenting on testimonial television
✦ in "I'm Dysfunctional, You're Dysfunctional".
