Dirty Little Secret
Monday, January 11, 2010 Advice via twitter:
"Jersey Shore is like a pill problem. If you're into it, fine. But don't demean yourself by talking about it at work."
I can't stop giggling about this because it's true. Jersey Shore has become a monster who feeds off of our helpless and compulsive desire to watch people take pride in their artificial skin tones and ability to take a punch. And that's just the women. Jersey Shore is a shameful addiction that should only be discussed behind closed doors, and even then, in a whisper.
Do you watch? Come sit by me. I won't tell.
Side note: If Jersey Shore was a pill, I have a feeling it would look like this.
Yes.

I love that it taught me the verb "smoosh."
But why doesn't The Situation™ ever get laid?
We need to be talking about this show!!! And Real Houswives! Tell me when you are free lady! :)
It's a guilty pleasure
Loves it! My Jersey Shore nickname is "Princess of Paramus." Oh yeah, I was one of the losers who actually did that Facebook nickname app, such a low moment. Did you hear that Snookie had her driver take her drunk ass to Dunkin Donuts, she shoveled 5 of them in her mouth, then went back to the club! hahaha
first I was repulsed, then I was bewildered, then I was curious, then I was disturbed, now I'm just obsessed.
Are you holding? cuz I need some of that gold flake love soon
jersey shore taught me that i should have more order, structure, and meaning to my day. gym, tan, laundry... obviously followed by a night at the club. they're fucking geniuses.
i pretend it's an anthropological study. i'm just observing a different people in their habitat. i'm learning and shit. no guilt.
HM, CID: word. the situation is actually funny. not good looking, but his situation is much better than the other tards.
I feel like I haven't commented in a while, so here we go. :)
I live 20, yes 20 minutes away from Seaside, and the damn show is addicting. People here in Jersey will say that it gives us a bad name, but I have seen people like them here during the summer. My friend and I were discussing it and we've never seen so many ights just out on the boardwalk, though. It's hysterical to watch, and it makes for good tv. :)
Jersey Shore is delicious edible garbage.... I grew up with roided-out guidos that live their every day this way- It was like observing some wacked-out gorillas that you have never seen before....It is a religion to them...
The JS women are all violence-prone. And when they aren't going after each other, they are egging their men on to fight. In that way, they are like primates.
But I guess the women on all the "Real Housewives" shows are just as violent toward each other, only with words, alliances, shunning, etc.
Jersey Shore is like a trainwreck or HSN. You want more than anything to stop watching but you can't and if you find a way to break yourself away from it temporarily, you are always finding a way to get more of it.
My coworkers and I have a weekly recap of favorite moments from that week's episode. We are totally obsessed.
I can't watch it; just can not do it. I'm all for a good idiot -fest, but I mean really, if feel like I need to Draino my brain after 2 miinutes.
love this and most anything on bravo... currently in france and doing without the delightful guilt of trashy reality shows, i believe they say you don't know what you've got til it's gone?
I <3 the insanity that is Jersey Shore. GTL baby! Gym tan laundry....life's essentials.
it's like crack covered in hair gel and cold sores
so thankful MTV canada is airing it too!
I loved it till last night. Two back-to-back episodes? Stopped being funny and was just bleak.
Gym, Tan, Laundry goes the motto. Silly me thought the third one meant an afternoon running a WASHER but I guess just picking up your bag of clean stuff is a chore, too. I mean, you did have to drop it off and that just gets exhausting.
Favorite quote ever: "I'm not trashy...unless I'm drinking." Snookie
do you even know how often i now say "it's not like i'm gonna push him off."
i also pronounce off like awf. two syllables.
snookie is so addictive.
I can't believe I got roped into watching a bunch of egotistical blowhards as the Jersey Shore kids. It's a trainwreck that I can't tear my eyes away from. I'm so embarassed.
oh dear lord, danielle and snookie in a show of their own???

my 14 year old thought she must be crazy for liking the show.... I then told her I did & we started talking about snookie, ronnie etc..... bad bad!!
"You are excluded from chicken cutlet night!"
Yes, and yes.
I don't even feel guilty.
