jersey shore controversy.

Okay, it's true, I have to admit that I am a complete reality television junkie. I love the corny reality TV shows that nobody likes to watch because everyone knows they aren't even "real". But, the latest reality show that I have been tuning in for is Jersey Shore. This show is about a group of eight Italian strangers who are living in a shore house together in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Many viewers have described this show as a social stigma since it gives Italian people a bad image. The truth about these young adults that are in their twenties are that they are not just ordinary Italians, they are "guidos". Guidos are the tawdry Italians that constantly have to wear gaudy jewelry, get spray tans, and tend to wear inappropriate clothing. But, what makes this show so addicting is all of the drama that goes on among the roommates, which has caused me to succumb to watching every episode of this new television series.

Many of the people on the show have different nicknames, such as Michael, who calls himself "The Situation". He is always very invidious in every episode since he likes to provoke his other friends just to make trouble and get them angry. Mike's best friend on the show is Pauly D., who always goes out at night with Mike so that they can meet new girls every night of the summer. As the season progresses, Mike and Pauly D have become sycophants since they flatter girls in order to get their number in return. One of the funniest girls on the show is Nicole, whose nickname is "Snookie". Her skin appears to be orange because she gets spray tanned so much, and always makes funny comments and gets herself into unfortunate situations because she is so outgoing. My favorite guy out of all the guys in the house is Vinny because he is very sweet and is the least obnoxious out of all of them. I watch new episodes of this show every Thursday night and cannot wait for tomorrow's episode!
