Jersey Whore

Everyone has been hating on the Jersey Shore lately! It's been brought up in my classes time and time again about how ridiculous the people act and oh my, for halloween? every party had at least 5 Snookie's and Pauly D's. It seems that a lot of people don't like the people from Jersey Shore but I happen to love them. I find them so ridiculous but the thing about it is, they KNOW they are ridiculous and they just roll with it. They aren't really as stupid as they may seem. They know how dumb they look with their fake tans and their muscles and tattoos and their nights of partying and hooking up. That's the whole point though. They have been given an opportunity to live a life, at least for a time, of no responsibility. And they are taking full advantage of it. Who cares if people don't like them, they are having the time of their lives while they still can and I for one, am jealous. They have drama sure but it keeps life interesting. A girl in one of my classes talked about how awfully mean the guys were for the way they classified girls as "grenades" and such, but I think it's hilarious. They are just speaking the truth with some exaggeration and putting on a good show and if you don't like it, don't watch the show! Monica! People call them Jersey Whore's and things like that but they are just having a good time and it's their choice what they want to do just like it's your choice to watch the show. I think it makes someone less of a person when they watch a show for the sole purpose to hate on and criticize the characters than for the Jersey Shore cast to go out and party. I am tired of hearing how everyone hates Jersey Shore. If you don't like it don't watch it. It's simple. They are an accurate representation of what a LOT of young people in this day and age would love to be able to be and do, they just don't have the means for it. In the most loving way, I would like to say to all the Jersey Shore haters out there, YOU are the Jersey Whore.

victoria's secret runway show

It's that time again, time for the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. It's the night when girls gather around to eat carrots and drink water while watching, and every boyfriend and husband of semi-normalcy goes M.I.A. I wonder why it's such a big deal? I mean, there is so much porn available to us, just a click away, with really hot girls in underwear and less...I understand these are supermodels we're talking about here but really? They're just beautiful women with good bodies wearing not very many clothes. That is readily available on the internet. Maybe it has to do with the whole show of it. I think that's what it is for the girls anyways. Or their excuse. Girls want to look at the beautiful women and think about how badly they wished they looked like the models did, and how they are going to try to do their hair and makeup the same way and walk with confidence so men will want them. They say it's about the cute underwear and costumes but I think it's an excuse to look at what the media has told them is the ideal. Men just have a great excuse to look at what is practically porn and have it be socially acceptable to do in public. No matter what the reasoning however, it is sad that these supermodels that probably do nothing but work out and throw up have become the ideal that women should look up to. It's an entire night dedicated to showing women that a specific body type and a specific style is sexy and if you don't have it, then you're just out of luck and you better hope you find a guy who will love you for the inside. Everyone, men and women both, has been trained and programmed through repetition to believe that the model type is the ideal standard of beauty.
