The Jersey Shore

[mlknchz]

I just watched an episode of "The Jersey Shore" (my first and last) and I can get no more amusement from watching the flailings of these ethically- morally- and intellectually-handicapped people than I would be able to get from watching physically-handicapped people flailing about.

"reality" teevee needs to go away. i keep waiting for this fad to be over & it keeps not happening. :(

There's nothing real about it, it's all about who can be more revolting.

Like a John Waters film, only without the aesthetic value

i can appreciate revolting if it's done w/ a wink

not so much if it's done w/ a vacant unblinking stare directly into the camera, maybe a little drool running down the side of their mouf.
