Education as taught by Jersey Shore

Everyone knows about the show Jersey Shore, no need to explain. I've only watched the show a few times, considering that it's not the most intellectually stimulating thing on TV. It's fun to watch every once in a while, true, but one question always comes to mind.

WHERE DID THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE?!

Seriously, what did MTV have to tell these people to be on the show? Did they know that when they signed up to have their lives followed that they would gain an entire following of people making fun of them? I know the economy is rough, but REALLY? Is it worth it for anyone to subject themselves to this?

Well, I guess the cast of Jersey Shore is being slightly helpful to their viewers by teaching "educational" concepts. By watching Jersey Shore I have learned...

1. what a girl being punched looks like

2. to use discretion when speaking the words "the situation"

3. the definition of "guido."
