Jersey Shore

Right before writing this blog, my friends and I were just talking about social media and things that people are doing because they are are influenced by it.  The idea that hit us and realized that it really has a huge impact is Jersey Shore.  The affects it has on kids our age, younger and older are just tremendous.  When I would go onto Facebook and Twitter right before the show would come on, all that there would be would statuses about how there is a new episode about to be on and how many people get together and have Jersey Shore get togethers.  They would have viewing parties for the show which is a little over the top I would have to say.  Like I normally do not even have get togethers for sporting events which is normally what people do.  Not have a one hour so called "party" at 10 on a Thursday. However, that is the impact that the show has on people and if you have a social media that you use, it is impossible to not know that there is am episode that is going to be on or already was shown.  You would think that Derek Jeter just retired with the amount of posts about it.

The problem with the show is that it causes people on social sites to start talking like some of the people on the show, put up pix of them doing dumb stuff and labeling some of them after them.  The show had a big impact and still does but not as heavily as the first couple seasons that it was out.  It literally took over every media site and there were articles written about them on other news sites, not just social media sites.  It took the media world by the throat and had everyone crazy about it.  It was a pretty cool thing to witness.
