Television_Infected_My_Generation

TELEVISION INFECTED MY GENERATION Oh my gosh! Did you see the shirt Kim Kardashian was wearing on the new episode of,” Kim and Khortney: Take New York'” It was all black with a ruffle sown in around the neck, it was way to cute! I over heard someone saying this the other day, it was like a reality check. I remember when things like clothes, shoes, how you did your hear mattered, but not like it dose today. I have come to notice that more and more people are trying to dress and act like celebrities and those of reality television shows. Everyone wants to live and act like they do on T.V., take “The Bad Girls Club” for instance. When the BGC (Bad Girls Club) first came out, it seemed as if the show was created to help these so called “bad girls” and show them how they are acting childish and immature to the point of embarrassment. Now if you were to watch the show, it’s as if girls think it’s some sort of statement or new found testament in the bible saying this is how young adults should act. One would think that someone of this mentality would not be allowed on television for any reason; not even entertainment, but “ The Bad Girls Club” has been very successful in that department with season seven just around the corner. Another reality television series that has started a “world wide trend” is “Jersey Shore.” Snookie says “ I want a juice heard, gorilla, tan, buff, guedo.” Now I’m sure your wondering what a guedo is! A “Guedo” is apparently Italian slang for really hot guys or should I say a guy. I know, how ridiculous, right' I don’t know who came up with the term guedo, I’m not even sure if I am spelling right, but it is a term I have heard on numerous occasions and I just don’t get it. What happen to how we approach people of the opposite sex, there has always been physical attraction comments like beautiful, handsome and cute or good looking. Society and television has taken these kind words and has revolutionized and put a whole new perspective on dating criteria. Now we hear terms like sexy, hot, that girl has a nice ass, he is fine, look at that piece of meat, break me off some of him, the list goes on and on. My grandmother loves to talk about the olden days, when you would take a girl out dancing, not drinking and then to his house to get down her pants. It’s television, why wouldn’t a guy try to get a girl drunk and take her home. Snookie, is always going out to the bar and bringing home guys, what would make a guy think anything different about the next girl that comes along, when there are girls like Snookie, who are willing to have sex with just about anybody. Television has infected my generation with new standards of life and how people live, what they do in there personal lives and has misguided the young minds of a whole new generation yet to come. I wonder what the president will be like when I am ninety. I live my life to my own standers and do what I will in my personal time, I don’t want to be like everyone else, but this is where that saying steps in “ To Each Their Own.”
