Comments on: MTV’s Jersey Shore: sending a bad message to today’s youth? http://www.mscareergirl.com/2009/12/23/mtvs-jersey-shore-sending-a-bad-message-to-todays-youth/ the blog for ambitions young professional women. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:08:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nicole Crimaldi http://www.mscareergirl.com/2009/12/23/mtvs-jersey-shore-sending-a-bad-message-to-todays-youth/#comment-44333 Nicole Crimaldi Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:49:55 +0000 http://www.mscareergirl.com/?p=1605#comment-44333 I TOTALLY agree with you. In the rare occasion I see them on TV doing an interview, I always wonder what their parents must think of them and how they even face their families off the air! This type of sexual behavior is SO sad, it's really no different than abusing alcohol or drugs or credit cards in my opinion. People are trying to fill a hole inside of themselves with sex. My big fear is that the younger generation now sees that being a slut will get them fame and fortune. No need to study or work hard in life, just become slutty and get tan and maybe you can have a reality show too. It's totally a marketing ploy and things like this are what make American culture so controversial and frowned upon. Nicole I TOTALLY agree with you.

It teaches young men and women to normalize sexual objectification. And when you normalize something, you essentialize it. This show, among many other cultural phenomenons (especially movies), are doing our culture a disservice. People are marketing sexuality more and more like pornography. How much longer until someone yells 'the emperor has no clothes'? The saddest part is that people think they are actually choosing this stuff ("It's my choice. I'm liberated and empowered") but they can't fully examine how they've let the undertow of culture influence their approval-seeking behavior. Besides, I say if you need to parade your sexuality around like a porn star to be 'empowered', and that intellect and social contributions are secondary to empowerment, then something is seriously wrong. We are clearly still living in a patriarchal culture, but the objectification of women (and now men) is harder to critique because it is hidden within the narrative of autonomy! The neoliberal subject! It's an evil marketing ploy with no moral or social interest, just capital. I know this sounds kooky, but I am seriously hopeless about our nation's future, and I'm only 27.

Its simple stupid. Apparently simple stupid can be understood by our current populace. And thus, is marketable. The show should be the least of our concerns. What kind of person will even produce such a show? What people watch it? I understand its entertainment, but damn.....Don't we draw the line when we start to imitate it?

Yea, they are young, yes they should as so many of you put it "live it up for the summer" but there is a line. Young children are watching this garbage on t.v. It shouldn't be up to this show to tell our children what sex is about, that's our job and they portray sex in such a disgusting way to bring home whoever and whenever they want. Here's a solution why don't they show the safety about sex? Why?, because those people are a disgrace to our society. I want my children to grow up with class and them to respect their body and not get drunk and sleep with a bunch of random people when getting pregnant young and catching and STD is very real.

They're just living their life. So you don't have the balls to do what they do, so what. That doesn't give you the right to rip on them. Teens may watch this show but we are smart enough not to do this things. Yes I said we, I'm 14. I know we shouldn't do this as do others. They party yeah cool, it's their choice. And also they're not all about 21. Pauly D is in his mid to late 20's, Snooki's 23 so is JWoww, Sammi, Ronnie, and Vinny. Mikes 'bout 25. This is what they like to do. Dude lay off.
