Jersey Shoredom

Shows such as Jersey Shore are the Jerry Springer of this generation.


Considered to be a trendsetting phenomenon in the current culture, this reality show has set records for MTV in ratings, making it their most viewed series of all time. 


People are drawn to it, like moths to a flame. It's a real life soap opera targeted to a young generation. The characters cuss each other out, have disregard for each other, and are totally consumed with their self image.  


As comical as it seems to a more mature audience; shows like Jersey Shore are modeling to our youth ~ materialism, obsessive vanity, lack of integrity, and destructive communication. In real life, people cannot conduct themselves so outlandishly; no employer or instructor would tolerate it in a professional setting. 


We seem to be in a very Superficial time in this world's existence - convenience, luxury, and accumulation are all qualities that the new generation values. The ideals of Respect, Integrity, and Compassion seem to be in a dormant state of underappreciation for the time being. 

• Having such destructive Role Models will only lead to destruction •

Just say NO to Snooki.
