I'm pleased and proud to say that I've never watched an episode . I know who they are, because it was all over media and social media a few years back. MTV sucketh.

I watched it when I was on maternity leave, I think. That and the Duggar family show on TLC were always on! It helped numb me on those days when I wondered, "is this day almost over yet?" ...and then looked at the clock to discover that it was only 8 am.

North Korean torture methods include forced viewings of the Jersey Shore and The Duggar Family.

And caring for a small, difficult human.

But, in general, I try to stay up to speed on as many different things as possible. It either allows me to talk about anything in social situations or renders me a real-life Bran Stark.

You *could* even truly curse!
I never do--most folks these days curse because they lack a decent vocabulary. My dad used cursing artfully in daily life, as punctuation. Sadly, my "daily life" often involves seeing parents of my kid's peers, parents of students/former students, or past/present students. It's bad enough that many of me former students work at package stores or as bartenders...they always seem surprised to see a teacher buying snobby beer!

That was my Brutal curse . I have a friend who likes to post articles about how frequent use of profanity is a sign of intelligence. He also likes to post Oprah-like platitudes and inspirational quotes on his FB wall.

Brutal was never interesting--blues talk and track stars from, like, the 1800s.
You should quit FB--it's a circle-jerk of bubbletude!

I tend to agree.

I'm now going to use this forum to make fun of the other forum!

I wouldn't know...this is the only forum I frequent...unless you're talking Open Pub vs Yammering (not CH vs FB). Open Pub is less a forum than a stretch of tumbleweed-strewn desert, like where Snoopy's brother lives.

Yes, but I'll rip FB too .  All message boards and forums eventually end up as tumbleweed-strewn deserts, just look at the PRT/Kickrunning.
