Judge Judy is both terrifying and inspiring. In a world that still insists that women should be seen and not heard, she is a harpie/virago/harridan we should all look up to. Go JJ!
Not only does this defendant on Judge Judy not know how to provide intelligent testimony — you know, the kind that won't get her into trouble — she doesn't understand what a rhetorical question is. When Judge Judy tells you something isn't rocket science, and then asks you what rocket science is, don't define it, followed by an "I think . .
Judge Judy's guests are usually at a loss for words when she mercilessly grills them. Not this defendant. When she asks him what possessed him to steal avocados from the irate plantiff's tree, his answer had me sold.
The gods were smiling down on someone on the Judge Judy set yesterday in LA. There was a mild earthquake, and you can see in the clip here that the camera shakes and the plaintiff and defendant look pretty nervous. I don't know who was spared, but could being injured or dying from an earthquake be any worse than being verbally bitch slapped by Judge Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining!
Kelly, Kelly, Kelly. Don't you know that it's best not to mess with Judge Judy? In this case, Kelly got all post-modern with her buyers and sent them two pictures of the cell phones they thought they were purchasing instead of the cell phones themselves.
This woman terrifies me, but back in the day when I watched a lot of television, I loooved watching her rip people new ones. I've heard through the grapevine that when she was a "real" family court judge, she was insufferable and often times unfair. As a television personality and book-title-writer, however--her previous book was called "Beauty Fades, But Dumb Is Forever"--you gotta give it up for Judge Judy.
This debt collector who thinks he's hitting up a regular citizen has no idea he's "talking" to Judge Judy (or rather recordings of her charming voice). Does this guy not watch television? Her voice is pretty unmistakable.
She rears her ugly head once a month (ha! only once a month), and this is what she sounds like...
Move over Judge Judy! You may have agonized over coming up with an inventive name for your daughter, but your little miss Ryan, Kelly, or Riley may be headed for the high court. That's because a recent study has found that females with masculine names are more successful in law careers than those with girly-girl monikers.
