If you have your finger anywhere near the pulse that emanates around this country known as pop culture, you have indeed as least become somewhat familiar with a little jewel known as “Jersey Shore”. Now I’m not referring directly to that shithole part of the country, but rather the MTV show that lets the rest of us revel in the utter stupidity and “personality” of its brief inhabitants.
I use the term brief inhabitants to refer to the people on the show because I’ve conversed with some people from New Jersey and they have managed to convince me that these are not actual New Jerseyites, but rather people that infiltrate the area from New York. Based on the show this is indeed fact, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to make fun of New Jersey based on their actions.
For those who are out of the loop, and even my 89 year old grandfather is not counted among those, the new episodes of the show are on Thursdays at 10:00pm EST on MTV. The show is based on a group of people that are given the chance to live in a great house in Seaside Heights, NJ for the summer as long as they agree to work at a T-shirt shop part of the time. The house that their living in is actually the owner of the shop’s home that he has given up for the show. If the time slot is at an inconvenient time for you there is no need to worry as with any other MTV show it is on countless other times during the course of the week. Trust me, once you watch it you will fall in love with it.
The people in it are just so ridiculous that you can not turn away. I know for a fact that I’m not the only one who feels this way by a mere glance at my Facebook page whenever the show is on. Two of the characters “The Situation” and “Snooki” were even on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien the other night.
The whole nickname thing is one of the most interesting parts of the show. Its gotten so big even that there is an internet site where you can type in your own name and they’ll give you a Jersey Shore nickname. The site is kinda stupid because it just randomly gives you a name out of its list, if you keep typing in your name you’ll get a different one each time. Its cool to do once though.
The person with the most famous nickname on the show is of course Mike, who goes by “The Situation”. You might be wondering where that nickname has originated from and let me just tell you that it refers to his abs. This guy is so full of himself it’s amazing. Everyone on the show is full of themselves but “The Situation” takes it to a whole different level. Well someone like Pauly D’s arrogance might be given a rating of 3.5 fistpumps, only “The Situation’s” ego is a true 5 fistpumps.
The Situation tries to play himself off as this total playboy who’s just out to conquer the Jersey Shore by slaying every chick there. Rather I should say giving them the pleasure of sleeping with him since every girl on the face of the earth can be nothing but madly in love with the Situation; but he’s just completely full of shit. He totally fell for another girl on the show, Sammi, and then she blew him off for someone else and he got so hurt and jealous. The Situation actually is a big softie and his whole image is a joke. Face it Situation, your cover is blown.
I must say that my favorite character on the show is “Jwoww”. This girl really just does it for me for what reasons I don’t really know. Actually it’s mostly her amazing tits, but I also really love her hair. She has the sort of hair where she spends a whole lot of time making it look like she spends no time at all on it. Now when I say she spends a lot of time on it, she doesn’t spend nearly as much time as someone like Pauly D. Jwoww though is sexy and she knows it. It’s partly that confidence that makes her so attractive to me. She also claims to have this boyfriend who she’s madly in love with, and she is when she’s on the phone with him. Throw a couple drinks in that bod though and all thoughts of a boyfriend go out the window. So holla at me baby if you make it down to Florida, you won’t be thinking of him for very long. Could I handle Jwoww, that I’m not sure of, but I do know that I’d love to try.
The people on this show must know that the entire country is laughing at them, but its not entirely impossible that they are so out of touch with reality that they think they are simply loved. They are getting publicly though and that’s what they are looking for. I’m sure their at least making a little bit of cash of the show as well; who knows it might even be enough to pay off their lip gloss and steroids bills.
