I saw this postcard on Bluntcard.com and it made me laugh! This lady's got the right idea, resist the temptation to join Facebook and give Snookie something else to cry about. Facebook and Snookie actually have a few things in common. Our obsession with all things stupid has reached a new high, or low rather when it comes to Jersey Shore. I thought our obsession with Facebook was out of control, but when it comes to Jersey Shore I'm just downright concerned with the country's mental health. After some careful comparisons I've come up with some similarities between our obsessions with the utter nonsense that is Facebook and Jersey Shore:
1. We view both compulsively, enthralled by people we don't know at all.
2. We seek them out to entertain us when we are bored when we could (or should) be doing way more productive things with our time.
3. We refer to them (and by them I mean Facebook and Jersey Shore characters) in conversations with friends, family members, lovers, co-workers etc, yet they play no real role in our lives.
4. They're both making a ton of cheddar off our obsession with them.
5. Last but certainly not least, they both are slightly addicting and they will both rot your brain.
I must admit, I've only watched the Jersey Shore once, but it was more than enough to know I never need to see it again. Maybe I'm missing something, but I doubt it. This is after all coming from a self-proclaimed Facebook stalker. I'm sure if there is something ridiculous to become obsessed with it's most likely that I would be.
