10. Jersey Shore

The MTV Reality show “Jersey Shore” had become a craze in the pop culture world. Using a “Panoption” from Foucault’s reading we can see how we view these peoples lives and then applied to our own. For example seeing them do something stupid and realizing you done the same thing and probably look just as stupid. Thus show has created cult followers that want to be just like characters, which creates “consumption” in an effort to look just like them. But you can never become just like a reality show star just by buying the same outfit which causes an illusion rather then a reality, as is suggested in Schor’s article. And because this show has spark such controversies in the American-Italian communities and the fad of the “Guido” is expanding, “inferential” racism is created by everyone who assumes all Italians are “Guido’s” as made clear by Stuart Hall.
