I cringe whenever I see one of the Jersey Shore advertisements in the metro and wonder why we can't export something better than Snookie and her friends.
I heard that Rutgers paid Snookie more to speak there than they paid Toni Morrison. Embarrassing. Another embarrassment for the U.S. -- the Kardashians. When I was protesting the bill that will take away collective bargaining rights for teachers, I made a sign: Kim Kardashian made $6 million dollars last year. What's she teaching your children?
I'm afraid the French will like it. The Europeans seem to like 'trashy' american tv reality shows. I'm not French, I'm Polish and I know these shows are popular in Poland. Nothing to apologize for, though, the French paid to get the show...no one pushed it on them. Oh well, can't talk about taste, I guess :)

ReplyDeleteOh dear. All of America apologizes. Some of us twice.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed to confess I actually watch Jersey Shore... it's kinda my guilty TV pleasure. Please don't judge me ;-)
