Jersey Shore

I love MTV's Jersey Shore.

I'm not necessarily proud of that, but I won't apologize for it. This show is AMAZING--the cast is completely absurd and the whole thing was a total train wreck from the get-go. I had no idea this little sub-culture of guidos and guidettes (they call themselves that...) existed. It's like watching an anthropology study in progress.

They all dress terribly, have awful hair, 99% of them have ugly faces, horrible accents, no class, seem completely vapid but they all think they are THE SHIT. In a good way. It's fascinating and oh so funny. Also, these are people in their early to late 20s. It is so weird!

For those who watch the show, I am crazy about "The Situation". I know it's perplexing, he's a total pig but I love him. This gets some eye rolling from Mr. Ashley and I get that. I just think he's hysterical to watch. He'd need a paper bag over his head and a gag in his mouth before I'd call him attractive, but he is my favorite character, for sure.

Just thought I should confess and encourage anyone holding out on principle to go ahead and watch. It's so bad it's good.

    I lived in New Jersey for a year. Not to say EVERYONE in New Jersey is like that, but a huge majority is. They are kind of assy people. But it is kind of awesome to hear women that sound exactly like "The Nanny".

    Hi. My name is Kelli and I am addicted to Jersey Shore. I can't stop watching it. From the 5 inch make up (and that is just the guys) to the fist pumping club going, they had me at "Yo!".

    Aw,HELLS yeah! Jersey Shore should be required viewing for teens to illustrate how NOT to act, dress, dance, talk, etc.
    LOVE watching it!

    Jay Leno says: Jersey Shore is to Italian-americans as
    Flava-flave is to African-Americans. His sidekick "Kev" the band leader totally agrees.

    For a mere $2,000 you can get an appearance from Snooki at your party! Shall we pool our money and plan a party???

    My husband turned me on to this show and now I am all in. What a bunch of fools--complete parodies of people-I LOVE IT.

    However, I am really weirded out by the nicknames. The Situation? JWow? Who in the world names these people?

Don't tell the non-commenters, but I secretly hate them.

(kidding, kidding, I don't hate all of them. The shy ones are okay. The lazy ones suck though.)
