Maxium Exposure - "When People Attack" - anyone see it?

I only caught the last half hour of this Saturday night, but I was really surprised to see how violent it was. In particular the part where this women is repeatingly smashing this other womens face onto the sidewalk. I found this really shocking - what the hell is this show rated. I can see why this show is shown late at night. What have past shows been about?

I saw about half of it and it was friggin' Hee-lair-ree-us.

People can be such animals.

The girls fighting was wild. The New York babes were fighting like guys and smashing heads into the concrete and the LA babes had a lotta trash talk.


The best one was the Aussie radio host how clocked the singer in the face after the singer pushed him

caught a few minutes of it. I think it's on at 2am saturdays here. Not a popular show at all.
After that episode I can see why they don't show it while people are awake.

Yeah, I've been watching this show for a while. Its definitely a late hours programming thing, utterly tastless, but actually that makes it more honest than the other Reality Video shows. At least Maximum Exposure is upfront about being sensationalistic. The mocking voiceovers are hilarious at times (like pointing out that the mullets on people determine the amount of stupidity you are about to see) and others very crass (like when they showed a bunch of firemen get consumed by a fireball, clearly some of them were hurt, but the voiceover said something like "Talkabout a hotfoot") I prefer it to Real Tv or those Fox specials, because really all these shows are doing is being exploitative, and at least Maximum Exposure doestn pander by trying to be pretend sympathetic like the other shows do.
