    I knew this was the reaction that was going to come. You guys should see the weird ing looks I get when I tell people I don't like cheese. Sometimes people act like I just kicked their dog.

    I do like Mozzarella but I hate just about every other cheese I've tried. I mean some of that stinks so bad.
    The F? Most cheeses don't have an overwhelming scent and require one to put their nose relatively close to smell anything significant. Even then, it normally isn't unpleasant.

    Does anything smell good to you?

    I love cheese, but I don't love all cheeses.

    Still remember when I was about eight or so and went to a fancy restaurant with my dad that had a cheese course. I thought I was in heaven.

    I sometimes wonder if I have a stronger sense of smell than most people because sometimes people will eat that I can't fathom tasting good based on the smell. Who knows though.

    But yes, lots of things smell great to me. Just not many cheeses.

    Also, one of the biggest faults with the study as I can see from that article is the lack of perception. People perceive different subject matter differently. In the case of Jersey Shore, a person may watch it and feel envy for the party atmosphere and lack of responsibility they display while another person may watch it and laugh at the utter ridiculousness of the situation. If they want to say that what you watch has an affect on how you think then perception of that material must be important as well and it seems as though they have tried to shoe horn the authors perception in place of the subjects.

    That seems rather flawed to me. Thats not say the study doesn't have merit, its just an important factor to consider when making your conclusions.
    Your retort is so..... simple. Could you please repeat it in the form of an argument that could pass intellectual muster?

    Oh you watch Jersey Shore.... never mind.

    I guess some of you spend all your time drinking the best wine and eating the finest cheese while wearing the finest threads.


    On the other hand, I can enjoy the some dude cooked on the corner of a street and enjoying a really great cut of meat cooked perfectly. I don't see why that's so hard to understand.
    I don't wear the finest threads.
















    I just start them. HA!

    Smelling food, particularly new meals, is almost necessary imho. As long as I'm not on a date or some other formal , I will do the same.

    I see what you're saying, but tbh I am the same damn way and I don't wonder if I have a strong sense of smell. I can be stubborn with certain types of foods, especially if the smell gives me a bad vibe. It's almost a guarantee I won't try it. A lot of the foods that fit into that category are types I have trouble not smelling if it's anywhere in the same room.

    Being at work 8 hours a day is enough 'problem-solving' for me. Going home, exercising a few times a week, then watching tv for a few hours is pretty much how my weekdays go.
    sounds pretty boring.

    Am I a ing idiot b/c I watch TV every night? Absolutely not.
    You think I want to go home after working all day to work on crossword puzzles or some other intellectual ? No way in bud
    bud,

    you live in America. If you want to sit on your ass all night watching reruns of snoki or whoever get her face bashed in at a bar, you can do it, and no one will stop you. in fact, no one (in power) will even care that you exist.

    Likewise, no one will encourage you to educate yourself and improve your mental conditioning instead of watch said reruns, in fact, most people in power probably don't want that to happen.

    Jus sayin

    I prefer to watch Jersey Shore with a full cup of RON RON JUICE though.


    I hate cheese, BTW.
    I'm with Funt here..... not computing.

    I have always subscribed the idea that it isnt the reality show that I dislike or even the cast (ie Jersey Shore), its the people that make these re s famous.

    If I met Snookie or the Situation, I'd shake their hand earnestly and congratulate them for their ability to turn their acted/non-acted persona into a million dollar machine with little to no effort. I would seriously congratulate them.

    ...and then I would tell them that I hope every one of their fans takes a long walk off a short pier.

    This applies to all pop culture (Bieber, Swift, all reality shows, etc).

    The popularity rating of these shows is relative to the percentage of people around me in public who probably do not deserve to vote or speak.

    With that said, there are exceptions abound. Namely Funt and Manny, who clearly are intelligent people who enjoy mindless fun in doses. But you are the exceptions, not the rule.

    Just the other week, I went to McDonalds and was standing in line with 20+ high schools kids. All males were wearing wife-beaters, all were loud and obnoxious, all had tans (this is Michigan in early June, its a fake bake), all spoke English with less ap ude than an immigrant and all clearly subscribed to the "GTL" lifestyle.

    Apparently, Jersey Shore is really, really popular and cool. I just hope these young followers here in Michigan, what with no public transportation system(s), are bold enough to do something that eliminates them from the genepool permanently.

    People who tend to over analyze stuff like this is because they secretly like it deep down inside that they want nobody to know. Jesus Christ, it's only a Tv show like any other meant to entertain, nothing more and nothing less. You sound like my brother who is a 36 year old "jersey shore closet fan" bashing the show and pop-culture in general, then I check his DVR one day and there it is recorded, all three seasons. I know it's not my sister in law cause she's Mexican and watches Spanish television. My nephew is only 8 years old and doesn't find (the show interesting) or understand the Jersey Shore. That only leaves my nerdy ass brother as the main suspect.

    I think the main reason why it's so popular with so many age groups(especially the older one's 30-45 age group) it's because they really relate or brings back memories of when they were in that "party/club culture" mode when they were younger.

    I think, for me, it's partly the above (although I've never dressed/spoken/acted like any of the people in the program), but mostly it's to laugh. I find it to be a hilarious train wreck of a show filled with real-life cartoon characters.

    DR is just being DR. You should check out the "hottest clubber" thread to find out what he really thinks about bags

    It really isn't. That's the whole thing, the way they act and things they say are pathetic but often funny, at least before it became repe ive. Many normal people like the show and quote/imitate random parts from time to time, but it doesn't mean they think it's sincerely cool. Being a guido with the obnoxious hair styles, ed hardy t-shirts, and fake tans is NOT the norm, is not nearly a mainstream/popular style. The vast majority of younger people I know and see on the street don't apply that to their own lives, it's really just a minority bag group of uneducated people. Whenever I'm on campus or visit respectable universities, I don't see too many of these clowns, but you'll find them in greater proportions in crappy places like Jersey or in other places where a big percentage of the population is poor, white, and uneducated (not to say there aren't also other poor, uneducated people of other races in those same areas). That's just my take...it may makes sense that what you've observed (young group in McDonald's in Michigan) was in your state, but I don't know the area you live in.

    Highly recommended for recapps of re shows like Jersey s.
    I've never seen Jersey s but the recaps for the show with Bert Michaels Rock of Love was a hoot.
