Today is Thursday, the first beacon of hope for the magnificent weekend. And although that is how I look at an average Thursday, many people my age see it as something else, even giving the day a new name. They call it Jersday, after the newly popular MTV show Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore is a reality TV series about eight adults spending their summer on the beaches of New Jersey. It is MTV's most viewed show ever, and although so many of my friends watch it, I personally believe it is one of the worst shows ever created. I have seen small parts of it from multiple episodes and I can not last more than a minute before I change the channel. In every single episode it is the same exact thing, the cast member’s party, and get in fights with each other. There is absolutely no point to the show. All of them try to act dramatic, and pretend that their lives are difficult, even though all they do is nothing and then get paid millions of dollars for it. Several times the cast emphasizes the importance of their Italian heritage, calling each other family because they are all Italian. They call each other Italian racial slurs on multiple occasions. The next season of Jersey Shore is even being filmed in Italy. I can not express how unbelievable it is to me that they even consider mentioning their heritage. How don't they see how much of a mockery they are making out of the Italian culture with their show? When people watch the show, some are going to perceive that Italian people are stupid, lazy, short tempered, and party all the time. And the fact that they are going to their relative’s home country, to create a show that bashes their own culture is beyond me. I don’t believe that I will ever understand why people like it so much, but I am absolutely not one of those people.
