Fist Pumpin' Like a Champ

As most of you know, MTV has become popular once again due to the invention of Jersey Shore. Not only are the people in this show ridiculous, but the crazy antics that they stir up make you just want to scream. These "Italians" are stereotypical to what other forms of media have portrayed, such as being loud, drunk, and for some reason tan that makes you look orange. That also ties in nicely to some keywords for class, the first one being signs. Some signs of Jersey Shore are the fake tans I just mentioned plus skimpy outfits and very teased hair. The way we read these signs are that every one in the Italian culture must be like this since this is how they all look; even the guys go tanning. Some objects that come from this show are fist pumping. According to Pauly D and Vinnie this is how every guy MUST dance at the club. First off, it makes you look a little stupid and second, who ever said that was dancing? But now if you see teens and even people in their early 20's listening to some kind of dance or techno music, you can bet they're "fist pumpin' like a champ" with the beat. Another object is the notion of GTL; gym, tan, laundry. Apparently this is the exact schedule the men of J Shore adhere to and its the most important things in their life. One of my personal favorite subjects to come out of the shore is Snooki. She basically looks like she belongs in the Wizard of Oz but always is up to some kind of shenanigans. A couple things that have come from her being so popular is the famous "poof" she always has in her hair, which is when a girls bangs are teased to the max. A couple of her quotes are also popular such as "wahh!" when something doesn't go her way, and one that you can here during the opening credits "welcome to the Jersey Shore bitch!" always makes for a good laugh. So whether you enjoy watching the show or not, I think its a good show to have when you want to be able to kick back with your guido friends and talk about all the grenades you and your boys got away from at the club.
