I confess!  I confess!  I watched the two-hour premiere Thursday night, and I don't think my jaw ever left the floor--except when I was rolling on it in hysterics.  This show has truly become my guiltiest pleasure--which, I guess, only proves what an innocent wuss I am.  

"Jersey Shore" is reality TV taken to a whole 'nother dimension.  It's "Real Houswives of New Jersey" on steroids.    

P.S.  (Gay) Brian Moylan's analysis of the show on Gawker is priceless.  I have to agree that the show is "the most important anthropological study of its day [!!!]":

I don't think he was actually a cast member.  Just some random guy in a bar that she managed to piss off.

One of the things that made this incident even more comical & surreal was the fact that after that guy sucker punched her, she just got right back up & kept on talking.  I've seen men take punches like that & get knocked the fuck out.  But not this bitch.  She was back on her feet & ready to go in a matter of seconds.  I'm starting to wonder if all that orange shit they put on their skin is actually giving them super powers.  Like some kind of radioactive fucking mutants.

By boyfriend is the exact same way.  He's always watching My Super Sweet 16, Teen Cribs, Bully Beatdown, Fantasy Factory, Nitro Circus, Parental Control, etc.  He also loves those shitty shows that come on TLC like Orange County Choppers, Little People, Big World, John & Kate, & of course, 18 & counting.  I hate all of those fucking shows, but I think that 18 kids & counting is the one that I absolutely, positively despise.  I think all of those Duggar morons have a combined IQ of about 80.  And they just keep breeding & breeding.  And here my boyfriend & I have tried to be responsible & wait all these years to have kids, & then we get hit with his HIV diagnoses, which will make having children all the more difficult.  But these breeders just keep going at it.  I hated them before his positive diagnoses because I thought they were a drain on society simply by causing more problems with overpopulation, gobbling up 1000 times more natural resources than the average family & making the gene pool shallower, hence causing the future to become a world much like the one seen in the film Idiocracy, but now that I know it's going to be even more difficult for us to having kids watching those motherfuckers prance around & shoot out babies like her vagina was a goddamn slip-n-slide makes my want to hold them all underwater until they stop twitching.

And yes, I am slightly bitter.  I am not afraid to admit it.

   Never heard a straight person refer to other straight people as breeders..  aren't you the same one who said they are no straight guys with HIV? 

shoot out babies like her vagina was a goddamn slip-n-slide makes my want to hold them all underwater until they stop twitching.

And yes, I am slightly bitter.  I am not afraid to admit it.

  Hmmm...  and perhaps motherhood is not suited for you.  Don't hear too many women who wish to be mothers joke about holding someone else's kids under the water until they stop twitching.

  But good luck with that anyways...

Nope, I never said anything about there being no straight guys with HIV.  I don't know who did, but I even made a comment in the "HIV Gift Givers" thread that I actually disagreed with that, being as my straight boyfriend contracted HIV from unprotected heterosexual sex.  The impression that I've gotten from reading that thread was that that whole theory is something that has been debated on these boards for quite some time, & was taking place well before I ever started posting.

And I don't call all straight people "breeders", just the ones who tend to have child after child after child after child.  And I would never seriously kill anyone's children, regardless of how much they got on my nerves ;).  The "them" I was talking about holding underwater were the adults having all the children, not the children themselves.  I think the reason I get so pissed when I see people having children like that is because I've worked in the social services/government assistance field for years (specifically rental assistance), & I see all these people who can't even take care of themselves have child after child after child.  And it gets to me sometimes knowing that my tax dollars are helping to pay for those children when I can't even afford to have any of my own.  I just get sick of seeing 19 year old girls who already have 3 children & another one on the way who don't want to work & just let their kids run wild.  I see it every single day.  I don't know how many times I have to get on tenants for letting their children play in the street unattended & disturb other tenants while at the same time managing to do some property damage as well.  It's nothing personal against their children.  The kids are essentially fending for themselves while mommy & daddy stay inside & scream at each other until someone finally calls the cops.

So yeah, I get upset when I see people reproducing like feral cats.  I love my nephews & my friend's children, & I would never seriously want to hold any child underwater "until they stop twitching", although there are some adults that I would love to kick in the nuts & render them unable to reproduce.  And I realize that it's no excuse, but I've been pretty pissed at the world since my b/f got his positive diagnoses last month.  Add that to the fact that I already have a morbid, inappropriate sense of humor, & from time to time I will spew out a really nasty comment that's not really intended to be taken seriously.

Either way, lighten up dude.  There's no need to take everything someone says seriously & literally.  I guess sarcasm just doesn't translate as well in writing as it does verbally.

I keep hearing about these heads and their constant use of the word "Guido" and "Guidette."  Supposedly the show is quite offensive.

I have to say though that none of these fellas looks very hot (just my opinion).

Had not seen so much buzz around a sleazy show in a good while.  Even Wanda had to mention them on her show last week.

  I actually find it pretty entertaining.  That one guy with the Cadillac tattoo and the hair gell/cement is probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen...

  I always thought guido was a highly derogatory term used to describe someone who is stupid and Italian.  They say they're guidos, so atleast they're honest.

Thanks to a certain person in that place 90 miles to the south, I think it's called Philadelphia, though at the current time it may be closed, I don't know for certain. :D but I watched "Jersey Shore."  It was so over the top and I missed some of it but I acturally went back for the second of the back to back episodes yesterday.  I am now scared for my mental heatlh.

Anyway just today one of New York's sensationalist tabloids "reported" that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, the second from the left in Philly's picture and the one I think is the best looking, what with the toned abs already, not that I've noticed at all  ;) reportedly commands thousands of dollars for nightclub appearances as a scantily clad exotic dancer at bachelorette parties, can you imagine!  I say why can't a young boy work his way thorugh med school already.

Anwyay if you can believe it he used to do it for alot less before the reality TV show become a hit, thanks to youse trashy mudder f***ers who watch this f***ing gahbage, you lookin' at me mudder fu***er!?!

I know where you live  ;)

My partner says if you followed Jerry Springer's audience home you'd have Jersey Shore. He says the Real Housewives of Orange County is more entertaining because "these spoiled beotches who thought they were rich have been spanked by the housing market and are losing their homes, getting divorces and realizing the world doesn't orbit their self-absorbed asses."

Never seen the show (probably never will) but the 3rd guy on the right in the first post prompts this query:

What the frock is it with all these guys with Ed Grimley hairdos? 



I've seen dozens of mostly younger men this year with their hair moussed up into a lateral point from front to back.  Like a mohawk but they forgot to shave the rest off.   Is it just me or does anyone else think they look goofy?

What the frock is it with all these guys with Ed Grimley hairdos? 

I've seen dozens of mostly younger men this year with their hair moussed up into a lateral point from front to back.  Like a mohawk but they forgot to shave the rest off.   Is it just me or does anyone else think they look goofy?

The poindexter was around in th eighties but it was bigger.  La Roux worked it recently - she looks very Haircut 100.

It's been back and has been among the 5 basic styles for over 5 years for European boys - gay or straight.  There's the emo, the easy buzzed or shaved head, the long bangs "nice-boy" bed-head look (think zac efron last year), the asymmetrical bed head grungy look (see any Gus Van Zant movie), and the ed grimley/poindexter.  They can do the oindexter with just the cut, it doesn't have to slicked with gel, even.  (There are always also the white rasta boys. But only a few in each university now.)

Straight boys have the ed grimley as much as gay boys. It's considered a bit depassé, but it's effective for gays because it evokes a YOUNG and somehow sexy geekiness. I don't know how it ended up in Guido land.

In my not so humble opinion, no guy over college age should have any of these youth cuts except the buzz and perhaps the grungy thing (which works until 30). 

There are TONS of European MEN who do NOT act/accept their age and insist well until their 30's on "young" clothes - skaker looks etc.  Were not talking "youthful" and stylish - we're talking 30 somethings shopping in the teen department, basically. 

The gay chats here are filled with these guys. They even write the slangy language of kids - it's dreadful. 

The Ed Grimley is basically a prepubescent look, (its a reverse Denis the Menace). 

Guido's should have classic 80's or 70's styles.  Travolta had two great looks in the 70's, perfect feathered "natural" (kind of a male farah fawcet), or any number of tight, slick, perfect barbershop cuts. 

These guido's have NOTHING on Travolta. 

I dated an Italian architect in the 80's he had perfect hair, teeth, abs, car, apartment, mother, etc.

Have you ever played with a can of aerosol Hair Net and a lighter???  Flame thrower for a fraction of the cost of a real one.  My mother was often mystified when her can was nearly empty until she caught us one night in the back yard... 

Unroll a pad of steel wool and stretch it horizontally and length-wise.  Light it at the bottom.  The poor child's sparklers.

When youth are deprived of real fireworks they must be resourceful.  However, I recommend against playing with mop strings because if you leave one lit and a few hours later your mother finds a burned black clump at the end of the handle it can get pretty ugly... especially since you left it hanging in the garage near 100 other flammable objects.

Ok I downloaded it and watched 4 episodes. How many have there been?

1) Remember in the first 10 minutes it shows that these people are not all from NJ, but are all guidos.

2) Ronnie is cute. Actually all 4 guys have their appeal, no?

3) The Situation is so cocky. He has his charm, based on too much ego sometimes but hey.

4) The ladies get points for NOT being anorexic!  

5) I like the way the MTV set designers condescended to vulgar tastes but also made it rather luxurious. Looks like a fun beach house for ironic ivy league preppies, too!

6) I guess it holds my interest to figure out what is scripted and what is behind the makeup and grooming. I can feel the reelness of some of these people and its creepy that MTV stamps down a falsness on top of it.

I think they are mostly naive (about life), spoiled, and good at heart.

  LMAO @ The Situation "Everytime I lift my shirt a piece of me dies"..  Pauly D's British accent sounded amazingly Pakistani to me.

Michael Cera as a Guido?  He's like the epitome of dork.
