Jersey Shore: Like It Or Dislike It?

<p>I actually used Jersey Shore for an essay prompt about a piece of art that has impacted me, lol. And acutally, it worked. Here it is as follows:</p>

<p>Jersey Shore.
The TV show defied my powers of analysis the first time I saw it. I wondered how such a show could be so popular. Had the chasm really grown that wide between intellect and stupidity?<br>
When I think of humanity, I think of boundaries, and how far we’ve pushed them to reach artistic perfection. I remember when I first read T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, I literally had to stop and absorb the intricate syntax, the esoteric allusions, subtle satire, and slant rhyme scheme that leaped from the pages. The Waste Land came in like a locomotive packed with two tons of dynamite headed straight toward Romanticism, obliterating every previous tradition in its path. And from that rubble, a new poetic tradition arose: modernism. Poetry hasn’t been the same since.
Like The Waste Land, Jersey Shore too, has had a profound effect upon society. Instead of coming in like a locomotive, Jersey Shore pounced, released itself upon us and stormed through our homes like a herd of wild mountain goats—confused, dizzied—leaving behind in its wake, a ubiquitous cloud of raw stupidity.</p>

<p>Snooki is an embarrassment to the human race</p>

23

<p>“I feel like a pilgrim from the 1920’s.” -the well read and all knowing scholar that is Snooki</p>

25

<p>Hahaha yes</p>

26

<p>i laughed SO hard when snooki said that whole pilgrim line.</p>

27

<p>Snooki also recently spoke out against president Obama. “I no longer to tanning…because of Obama’s recent 10% tax on tanning beds.” She continued by stating that she felt that Obama instituted the tax as a personal offense against the Jersey Shore cast members, and that “he doesn’t have to worry about tanning because he’s black,” so obviously he’s punishing her. And that “McCain is, you know, pale, so I have no doubt that he would not have instituted such a tax.”</p>

<p>I can’t find the video link but I nearly spit water all over the keyboard. Ladies and Gentlemen, words of wisdom from Snooki.</p>

28

<p>My fave line (besides the Snooki comment of course) was this gem from Pauly D, “You can’t creep in this weather.”</p>

<p>“I LOVE THE JERSEY SHORE, BIIIIIIIIITCH!” - Snooki</p>

<p>

Hahah, I thought I was the only one who caught that.</p>

30

<p>I loved the first episode.</p>

<p>Ronnie doesn’t need that ****, bro.</p>

31

<p>It is the product of the insidious and destructive culture of the modern US.</p>

32

<p>haha, I love Jersey Shore!
It’s a good show to catch some laughs. I like pretty much everybody except Angelina and Ronnie.</p>

33

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you by any chance go to Liberty University? The show is good for entertainment value and should be treated as nothing more nothing less. You sound like those crazy moms that burned Harry Potter books for promoting witchcraft.</p>

34

<p>^Damn, you took that personally. You snooki?</p>

35

<p>How did I take that personally?</p>

36

<p>hahaha 10char</p>

37

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You couldn’t think of a more contemporary reference?</p>

38

<p>^Awesome… lol</p>

<p>Anyone else notice Pauly D. gained some considerable amount of muscle mass since last season?</p>
