In case you didn’t know, MTV has pretty much ditched the music part of their acronym in favor of the reality show craze that has captivated the increasingly idiotic television viewing audience.  One of their latest efforts premiered last Thursday, and it may quite possibly be the end of quality television as we knew it.  Jersey Shore follows the “hottest, tannest, craziest guidos around” and appears to be a combination between The Real World and The Biggest Loser - literally, not in the weight loss sense of the word.  While most cultures will go out of their way to debunk commonly held stereotypes, the self-professed guidos/guidettes in this show seem to revel in being portrayed as ultra trashy, Jagerbomb-fueled morons.  I refuse to watch this show in its entirety, mainly because MTV sucks and I have already needlessly squandered enough brain cells over the course of my life.  All you really need to do is watch this teaser clip, and the themes for Jersey Shore’s first season should be Cristal clear: partying, tanning, pumping iron, fist pumping, and fist fighting – not necessarily in that order.  And if anyone happens to know what the girl (who is apparently named “Snookie”) did at the 18 second mark to provoke this painfully one-sided fight, please enlighten me:

That cringe-inducing incident also gave the brain trust at MTV an idea for another new reality show, which should premiere sometime next year:
