My view on the Jersey Shore

I do think that the Jersey Shore can be offensive. This show is not the first show to portray people from New Jersey in such a light. There have been multiple episodes of True Life that have done the same. The people who chose to volunteer or/and audition, or whatever it may be, are constantly those with the same attitudes, those looking to start drama. The Jersey Shore could not possibly portray every type of person that one is bound to encounter if they were to take a trip to where the show is shot. Because of shows such as the Jersey Shore and True Life, and even random shows on other television channels, viewers begin to stereotype. But who can blame them? The only people at fault for the stereotypes are the casts and producers. I'm not saying that the show is not entertaining, because it is, but it is important that people recognize that this is its only purpose. It is made to entertain not to teach lessons. As long as people are wise enough to not go out and reenact everything that happens in the shows, I think that it is perfectly fine for the show to be on air. I do however believe that parents of younger children should not allow their kids to watch this show so they do not model after it.
