... "Hard Core Pawn" is about desperate people. Making money off the stuff of desperate people is one thing, making money off their suffering is something else.

And a lot of the people who turn up in that pawn shop, even with editing, are nuttier than squirrel turds.

It should be noted that the "Pawn Stars" shop also has a hulking offensive-lineman-sized security guard; I think his name is Antoine. You see him talking to Chum every once in a while.

Pawn Stars is that they don't get into shouting/pissing matches with people.

And they focus on the objects, often calling in experts who can give viewers a bit of history.

sucks.

The sibling bickering gets real old.

Les and his ever changing rules on what behavior he allows in his store and what he doesn't also gets old. He can't decide from one show to the next what's OK and what isn't, and he reminds me so much of my second husband, who was an alcoholic. Right down to the mannerisms and the tough-guy look he gives people when his security guys are around.

I seriously want to slap him.

PS...I don't watch this show...Mr Pipi does. I try to find other things to do while it's on but sometimes it's not possible to be where I can't see or hear it.

Oh, and PPS...bloodsuckers, taking advantage of people who need the money.

and how they can suck (with so much more) far worser then their clients (that have little to nothing).

This is three rungs below Jerry Springer material.

Two of my shooting buddies wandered into their shot and were pounced upon by an aide with waivers.

Also, a teacher I know, was given a script and told to act like a total bitch and then be carried out by her fiancee after they wouldn't "buy" her gun.

It's a television show. It's called entertainment. If you don't like it, don't watch it. EVERY subject is not debatable. At least not successfully debatable. I just love that funny security guard. I think he should have his own show!

@ Rex: Come on man, these customers are obviously coming in and putting on a show for the cameras. Just because they have little to nothing, does not give them an excuse to be an idiot. If you give a certain sector of the public an excuse to be an idiot, then you have to excuse all idiots, it's only fair.

to buy weapons. They tried to treat the shop owner like they treat their own customers. He threw them out and said he didn't want their business.
