A great ambassador for American culture.
 
A good person
 
Some years ago, I lived in a co-op townhouse for a year. One night, about 11PM, I heard a lot of shouting outside. Looking out my front window I saw a lot of people walking around. I walk out to the end of my walkway, noticing my next door neighbors are also out.

Turns out it is a couple, about 8 doors along, having a roaring fight on their front lawn. And, of course, dozens of people are trying to "help" with exactly the effect you would expect when bystanders try to get between a couple. Shoving matches are breaking out among the bystanders. The shouting is rising ever higher.

So I start chanting: "Jerr-EE! Jerr-EE! Jerr-EE!"

And my neighbors are laughing but going "SHHHHH!" They did not want attention drawn in our direction.

Whatever you may think of Jerry Springer, he touched a lot of lives.
