Well, if you really want to know, just start wearing bump-its. I’m pretty convinced there’s a direct correlation between them and less-than-shmartness…

Also, not only did I watch (and love) the Jersey Shore, but now I watch Jerseylicious. Yup. Basically, trash TV is my Jack on the rocks. Also, Joysey accents are basically THE most fun accent to imitate. EVER.

I don’t know if I’d like to be less me and more Snookie. I’ve never actually watched an episode of Jersey Shore (sorry!) so I can’t judge too much but from what I hear they all live very simple lives. Ones that revolves a lot around sex, alcohol, dancing and fist pumping. Oh wait, minus fist pumping and plus work, I’m them. Okay, I take back my comment. I guess I could take on their lives. Well, maybe. Okay, no.

You know? I’ve often wondered the same thing. Not about Jersey Shore, though. No amount of morbid curiosity could make me watch that. Just, in general. What it’s like to be those people that hang around unbearable levels of ignorance and lack of adequate social skills. (Ok, I’m kind of socially retarded, so maybe not THAT part, per se.) Like, how would you function? Do you just not know any differently? It makes me brain hurt to try and imagine what it would be like to operate at a lower IQ level. It just… Gah. HOW DO THEY FUNCTION? I DON’T UNDERSTAND.

Similiar to this comment. I also don’t understand it. Because I’m clearly having coherency issues at the moment. Which is not helping my case any. Sigh.

I’ve never watched Jersey Shore. I think I’ve gotten enough “Jersey Shore” education from hear stories from my friends. And I may or may not have witnessed a group of wannabe guidos (minus the HAWT tans but plus the gelled hair, unbuttoned shirts, and shaved chests) at my local country bar FIST PUMPING TO COUNTRY MUSIC. I’m sitting there in my torn jeans, cowboy boots, and Jack Daniels belt buckle going all what the eff at their shenanigans.

This show is ruining life as we know it. And my country bar. Yeehaw y’all.

Oh wow, if I too could roll back the internal judgments/expectations/plans/hopes/dreams for just a second, or twelve and instead get my ‘Snookie on’ things might just sparkle a tad brighter. Can you imagine if every morning your only thoughts were, “Who is this guy next to me? Who cares he’s HOT.” And, “Should I go tanning today? YES!” Damn life would be easy.

SO, I think our first step is to go tanning.

And probably gel our hair.

Can I borrow yours?

I still have not watched “Jersey Shore” the thing I regret NOT finding sooner was Mad Men. I love that show. I guess they are smarter than they appear. http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/23/jersey.shore.business/index.html?iref=allsearch Go figure!

I probably will never turn it on! I am not into “reality” shows and this is one of them.

Why the fuck don’t we have a tanning bed in our apartment?

Wait, they’ve trademarked GTL? This show is like a trainwreck, and I got sucked into watching it. I think it gave my TV an STD though.

Bah humbug. It’s mindless entertainment for the masses. What next? Santa isn’t real? I think you’re giving these kids to much credit to expect them to even spell “Italian” correctly. Understand the heritage? That’s like giving an AP Calc exam to a 5-year-old. Or to Pauly D. But he sure is cute with his 30-minute Guido do!

This post raises an interesting question about how much the scope of our ambitions/plans/dreams/whatever is shaped by our environment and our experience. It’s one thing for the Jersey Shore kids to be unsophisticated and myopic if they’ve experienced other options/the world beyond fake tans and hair gel and decided that that’s what they want, but if the way they live and behave is simply reflective of all they’ve ever known, can we really fault them for being so shallow and self-absorbed?
