GTL - Battle cry of the Jersey Shore

How do I muster the strength to look away from this train wreck? I bet many people have found themselves thinking that same thought. The answer is you don't, not unless you want to miss the weekly fight on the boardwalk of Seaside Heights, or miss seeing a girl punched in the face full on by a grown ass man. I am not the biggest fan of reality shows although I write this while my wife "makes" me watch Frank the Entertainer, but when I heard they were going to do one about the Jersey Shore, I had to break out my velour Fila sports suit and my powder blue Kangol hat.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start, but I do want to say that this is more about 'how the hell did the Jersey Shore' become the most popular show on television and less about the actual show and "the Situation" or "Snooki."

By the way every time you see a space between paragraphs, it is not for grammar, but actually a chance for me to 'beat the beat' with my fist.

LOL. So all kidding aside I was at a business function with other 30 somethings and 40 somethings and I was bedaffled, I don't think its a word but appropriate nonetheless, at how many people were completely hooked to this terrible piece of wonderful television. I mean we are talking about VP's, CEO's and other senior level professionals,, albeit we are all in the media business, but who are completely in the know about all things 'Jersey Shore.' In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I too was Guido in my former life, now I need to qualify that statement by saying that I was 14 years old at the time, but that fist pumping in the air has continued to pump ever so quietly inside my heart.

So I get the Gym and Tanning, hell I wish I had the time to do that every day, but who goes to the laundromat every day, I mean I never saw them go to the laundromat at night to drop anything off, but nonetheless it is apparently clean by the time they are done tanning. Please join us silently beating our fists in the air in honor of the Guido's Valhalla.....'the Jersey Shore'.....fuhgeddaboutit!
