Jersey Shore: A Guido's Tale
Stephen Schumacher
Issue date: 2/8/10 Section: Opinion
Dr. Seth Forman, a dermatologist from Tampa, FL, criticized the show for "glamorizing" tanning. Although his intentions were in the right place, he only brought more attention to the show as Snooki declared "she would change the world by installing tanning beds in everybody's house." I believe that was mentioned in Obama's State of the Union Address.
The fact is, the professionals and citizens with high dislike for "Jersey Shore" need to realize there aren't many people viewing them as role models. If a "tween" has any ounce of intelligence, they will realize nothing on that show, other than fist pumping, is a good idea. If a person does think these ridiculous human beings are role models, then their upbringing was terribly misleading.
If I didn't explain it well enough, why don't we have Snooki take the reins? Like she said, people "don't understand that 'guidos' and 'guidettes' are good-looking people that, you know, like to make a scene and be center of attention and just take care of themselves," and I agree, "they are old-fashioned."
