“The Jersey Shore” is not completely low-brow. It is, in its own way, a mirror for the human condition and is ambitious for tackling love, envy, betrayal, race, and culture. Of course, this is just what people who need to justify their love of the show will say. Most people will just admit that it is for indulging in the exquisite smugness of watching trashy people go about their lives.
“The Jersey Shore” permits its viewers to access the most base aspects of their natures. They barhop, bed-hop, fight like maniacs, and talk like idiots and watching “The Jersey Shore” can make just about any viewer feel smart, cultured, and mature in comparison. We might say we genuinely love Snooki, but we tried to put her in the dropping ball in Times Square on New Years Eve and quite frankly that’s not where you put someone you respect. Think about it.
