Dear Mel,
All of my friends love the new MTV show, Jersey Shore. I really hate it and I feel like it's all they talk about.. They all watch it together on Thursday nights and I just feel left out sometimes. I know it's kind of stupid but I can't stand that dumb show and I want my friends to quit obsessing over it. Sorry if this is a stupid question but what do you think I should do? I know it doesn't sound like a huge deal but to me it is.

Dear Anti JS,
Before answering your question, I should probably warn you that I'm a big Jersey Shore fan. Although I'm sure watching that show kills my brain cells, I still love it. It's kind of like a bad car accident... You don't want to look, but you can't help it. You know what I mean?
It's really not as bad as you think. Sure, all they do is party and get in fights and swear and go in the hot tub. And answer the duck phone. But, hey, it's really entertaining. My favorites are Snookie and Vinny. Definitely not The Situation, though. Can you say creepy?
Okay, I'll stop raving about the show and give you some advice now. First off, I think you should try watching it a little bit. It might grow on you. You never know!
If you truly are repulsed by it, then just wait until the season ends. There's only one or two episodes left, so you'll have your friends back in no time.
And if they keep obsessing over it after that, then you should simply tell them how stupid they sound talking about it all the time. Or get them hooked on another show, like The Bachelor.
However, I strongly suggest you learn to look past the kids' fake tans and heavy accents. Come on, it's Jersey Shore... You gotta love it!

love this show :)
Took your advice Mel, and even if jersey shore isn't my favorite show, at least I know what everyone is talking about now!
