Crazy People


  As I was watching television I stumbled across a popular show called Jersey Shore. I told myself "well if this is what the 21st century teens are watching I might as well too". This show is pretty self explanatory so ill explain it within once sentence. Young adults drinking, going to clubs, talking behind each others backs, felling guilty then getting back together again. The cast includes, Deena Nicole Cortese, Jenni Farley "JWoww", Michael Sorrentino "The Situation", Nicole Polizzi "Snooki", Paul DelVecchio "Pauly D" , Roonie Ortiz-Magro, Sammi Giancola "Sweetheart", and Vinny Guadagnino..such historical people..cough..cough. This show had premierd on MTV of December 9th 2009. The fourth season will be filmed in Italy and will start shooting around late 2011.

  This show exemplifies what our generation is all about, at least the majority. It's hard to pick point the moral meaning to a show like this since what we watch in television do have meanings depening on how we interpret it. As I watched an episode in the third season, it suprisingly kept me intrested. As much as I like to criticize something like this, something about it kept me tuning in every week as if I was a 7 year old kid running downstairs to watch Teletubbies, although I find those "things" creppy as hell. I guess our generation strives upon media like this because out of everything that we take away from it, we can also relate to it too. As young teens, the majority can relate to being in relations and having everything that comes with it. The night life is something also popular and the first thing on teens minds is alcohol when coming to think of it. In my own personal experience I tend to find people who I've know growing up being in these unfortunate circumstances even though they dont notice it. All that said, you can trace this back to Jersey Shore as a so called inspiration to teens these days.

  All in all, Jersey Shore still keeps our generation watching it week after week. Hopefully in the not too far future, we can still be watching shows like this for our own amusement but not take it as literal as we do today.
