Regarding "Jersey Shore," I Just Feel Bad at This Point

Jersey Shore LogoHey, I’m Italian. What can I say? My DNA forces me to watch. My wife can’t anymore. She’s a German/Russian super Olympian hybrid. I admire her ability to look away and win gold medals.

I definitely don’t fit the visual stereotype of the Italians you see on that show. Sure, I may have bouts with the Italian temper and yes, I tend to think I’m right until you prove me wrong, but then again, even if I am wrong, I still might be right. The similarities end there. I own no Ed Hardy apparel. I do not wear white basketball sneakers with my jeans. I do not tan. I do my own laundry.

At this point Jersey Shore, as a whole, has to go. It’s barely maintaining any semblance of fun. This is mainly due to cast members being fully aware they are C-listers with no noticeable skills, aside from fist pumping, making more money than most people. Season 2 is a broken mirror. Please just sweep it up and toss the pieces in the trash.

Why you ask?

The Situation
He’s the biggest reason why the show is over. Do we need another scene of him showing off the abs in a club? Yes, Mike, we know you have great abs, but seeing you flash them in every joint you visit is the equivalent of watching a video on YouTube while hearing somebody yell “This is going on YouTube”. It’s almost like an unconscious reaction at this point. Brain > Right Arm > T-shirt > Lift. The one admirable skill you have though is your ability to feed the rest of your roommates. I think they would be dead if you didn’t. You lose points for being on Dancing with the Stars and being a worse dancer than Bristol Palin. (This opinion is based on two clips I watched online and not by actually watching the show.)

PaulyD
I like Pauly. Maybe it’s because he’s from Rhode Island and I like the heavy accent from the smallest state. He means well. He’s funny, but when Pauly’s put in scenarios that involve anything more than GTL, sex or gelato, he has a hard time speaking. Great in the confessional room, but terrible on the spot. DJ PaulyD also loses points for not being the first person from a reality show with a blow-out. You can thank the Growing Up Gotti kids for that.

Hey it's Marc G. Whatever you see from me here usually will be marinated for at least three days in humor and sarcasm. I try not to take things seriously. I'm from the Boston area and will never use Just For Men to cover my gray hair, because Keith Hernandez of the 1986 Mets, is their spokesperson. …
