Three days after September 11, 2001 the Ricki Lake show is concerned with a world crisis of another kind: white-trash teens whose mothers dress like sluts. A fat, toothless hag in a sheer black peignoir and shiny go-go boots bumps and grinds her way onto the stage. Her teenage children are explaining to Ricki that they want the kind of mom who bakes cookies, not the kind who works in a titty bar and hits on their school friends. Christopher complains that his mother is dating one of his classmates - "And one of the stupidest ones too! My mom looks like a hooker, Ricki! When she takes me to school, she flashes her tits at people as we drive past!" 
Mom grins and sticks out her tongue at the camera. "It's hot where we live! I'm just airin' 'em out!"
