Jerzday article

In honor of the day of the week, I will discuss an article I found last week in the Times. At the UChicago Conference on Jersey Shore studies, (the fact that that exists baffles me), it was brought up that all the ruckus they caused in Italy was offensive to some Italian-Americans who watched from their couches.

My response to the claim that it is offensive is that I disagree. As evident in the article, many of the characters are not even full blooded Italian. I feel as though Jersey Shore is a means of entertainment, a foolish one at that. But for some reason, I, along with many americans, am captivated. Like a train wreck, you just can't take your eyes off it. In conclusion, I am not offended by a bunch of idiots making a million dollars being idiots, it's their prerogative.

Are you offended?
