I keep coming across all this “buzz” about the MTV hit, Jersey Shore. It’s all over the mags, entertainment blogs… all my coworkers are talking about it. So recently, I’ve forced myself to finally catch a glimpse of this show. My first reaction, “This show is absolute trash!”

I don’t have any patience with people acting stupid. The entire cast is in my age group, yet their vocabulary and mental intellect barely surpasses that of a 12 year-old. The drama and the things they deem important, all so superficial and they all lack substance. There is nothing “real” or natural about any of them. I probably watched 10 minutes of the show… and if I could demand for those 10 minutes, I would.

I am thankful that this show is a great reminder of why I don’t really watch TV anymore. I’d rather be a nerd and stick to reading.
