In Rome, people were raped and murdered in front of a crowd for entertainment. Though awful, Jersey Shore is a vast improvement.

Yes! I love that show!
Although the latest couple of episodes have given me the creeps. Such as the one where they were talking about differences between races, even saying "on average" whites have a higher IQ than blacks, asians have a higher IQ than whites, and (drum roll please) Ashkenazi Jews hold the highest IQ of em all. That one struck a cord with me, seeing as how ashkenazis play a big role in conspiracies, if you believe zionists are a rothschild(also ashkenazi) creations. Finding differences between people by looking at their genetic make-up.
If the zionist Rothschilds funded Hitler and his Nazi's and by extension, their eugenics program, that gives them the ability to scientifically measure any persons intelligence, their agressiveness, any quality they may have. Going in line with the depopulation theories, they could justify it by killing off we lesser beings since we could never be as smart as our ashkenazi overlords, being just useless eaters.
Another episode they were talking about tapping into the minds subconcious, and at one point, Morgan says "I bet you know who would love to get their hands on this technology". Me, being the conspiracy theorist I am, immediately thought NSA, CIA, Mossad, etc...but then he says "College kids would love to have it, to be able to learn more than what they normally could."
I'm thinking, yeah right, if that type of tech ever became reliable enough that we peons would ever get to see or use it ourselves, unless you have $$$ to spend. Normally love the show but these last few shows creeped me out.

You can make that assumption from 2 lines?
Of course I have a generous sense of humour.
But that is a strawman argument from you, anyway.
The point is this - do you want to defend the shows against the charge that they represent the low point of modern Western society? Go ahead ...

Not at all some entertainment must be for fun and some fun and entertaining. Its just so overwhelmed by reality tv it seems a program is being ran on the populace..
When the housing market went into the toilet in 2008, all of those house-flipping shows that were hits on basic cable went down the drain too. But now that the housing bust is apparently over, reality TV producers seem to think it's once again high time to dedicate hours of airtime to flipping.
CNBC, which some may still remember as a financial news channel, recently decided to get into the reality business and among the seven shows it is developing is "Flipping Wars: Las Vegas," which fulfills the reality TV trinity of a buzz word "flipping," the name of the city in which it takes place, and the now required use of "Wars."
Finally, the press release does not answer the question that immediately popped into my mind, and that is whether the audience at home will get the opportunity to view the actual foreclosures themselves. But CNBC does promise an entertaining time with “bold characters” and “big stakes” for their “highly affluent, educated and influential audience.”
For those of you who are unawares, Las Vegas was one of the ground zeros of the housing boom and bust. Home prices there have been plunging for years, and the mortgage delinquency rate is currently in double digits. Nevada itself leads the nation in foreclosures. Las Vegas’ unemployment rate is rising, and was 12.1 percent in June, something that also contributes to the downward real estate spiral.
The tragedy of foreclosure is now entertainment for rich people. How fun.
