Today I watched some Jersey Shore

and don't ask me why because I don't know. maybe it's seeing their stupid faces all over The Internet or information about them getting drunk and fighting or getting arrested for being drunk and fighting or being fat or calling someone fat or whatever. either way I watched a total of less than five minutes and I think this goes without saying


I don't get it.


here is what happened in the episode:

The Situation and the guy dating Snooki both got up and The Situation said a bunch of disjointed sentences to the other guy which made no sense and were only explained by the caption which told me that The Situation decided to tell this guy that he hooked up with Snooki like a year ago in Italy or something and the other guy thanked him and left, then went upstairs and lay down with Snooki and told her what happened and she said that The Situation was "annoying for doing that". then everyone was waking up and The Situation took some other burly guy who isn't the guy dating Snooki up to a rooftop terrace to bitch about how the guy dating Snooki wasn't upset about it and "did he really care about Snooki" and then the other guy gave his two cents and some chick with a bad tan called "Sweetheart" went on about how she doesn't think the guy dating Snooki really cares about Snooki, either.

at this point I stopped watching because basically I don't think I could handle a bunch of greasy-looking people with fake tans and had hair shit-talk each other, to each other, and then on camera over and over and over.

plus I was left with some burning questions like

if The Situation is Snooki's 'friend' why is he deliberately meddling in her relationship?

if any of these people are 'friends' why are they having meetings on the rooftop and/or deck to trash talk each other while the other person sleeps inside?

if they make so much money why don't they have a maid to clean up after them?

on that topic, if they are getting paid so much money why do they all sleep on gross mattresses with sheets that don't match?

why would anyone want to take part in a show that deliberately pits people against one another?

and finally: where is the value in watching a bunch of 'roided-up, fake-tanned, vapid, unemployed people get drunk and argue with each other?

seriously people, let's get our cultural shit together. this is just unacceptable.
