more sage thoughts


Now that the Jersey Shore cast is in Italy, antics just keep getting more and more ridiculous. Its absolutely fantastic watching Snooki interact with her kinfolk in terrible Italian. But now a study has been released that claims watching the Jersey Shore can be detrimental to your intelligence. According to a professor at the University of Wisonsin-Madison, volunteers who took part in a study were less likely to speak correct English or recall basic historical, geographical or scientific facts after watching several episodes of Jersey Shore.
“What you’ve been thinking about recently or seeing recently (is) at a higher level in your consciousness, so your brain is kind of predisposed in that direction,” said Professor Cantor. “So if you’ve just seen a movie about really altruistic people and you get an opportunity to behave altruistically, you’ll probably do it, rather than if you’ve just seen a movie about selfish people.”






Hmm, it doesn't seem coincidental that JShore started the year leading up to my 3.17 GPA first semester. Honestly Ron. . .
