"It's T-Shirt Time"


Nearly everyone is aware of MTV's reality hit tv show "The Jersey Shore", whether watching it as a fan, a hater, or even a parent hearing about it from their kids. "The Jersey Shore" has launched controversy of all kinds regarding terms and activities shown on the show. Although much dislike is put towards it, "The Jersey Shore" has had many effects on our society.


If you listen into a conversation of a "Jersey Shore" fan, you may hear strange phrases like "It's T-Shirt Time", "A Walking Holiday", "Creepin", and "GTL"


For the non-"Jersey Shore" fans, these terms range from meaning a schedule of the cast's daily activities (gym, tan, laundry), Following a girl or guy around that you have interest on, to changing your shirt for when you go to the clubs. Are these terms considered a good impact or a negative impact?


Some may argue that it is "dumbing" down today's youth, but others will say that it is allowing youth to have more fun and use phrases that make them laugh. Although the Jersey shore is somewhat pointless, it does seem to catch anyone who watches eyes'.


I guess one is to expect negative outcomes with something so popular. It will be up to the viewer to decide whether or not "GTL" or "Creepin" is right for them.
