Flowchart of the Day: “Should You Become A Librarian?”

“Books”? Oh wait, do you mean “Reality Television”?

Sadly, too true.

Goes to that dude Brian who took over for Richard Lawson at Gawker. Its long. But if you can focus for more than 10 minutes, its worth it. I can’t. Also i miss richard.

There are the creatures that we are forced to ponder. Of course, there are a few words that one must know to understand their sophisticated patois:

• • Classy: This is a standard of beauty and behavior to which all aspire. While the taste and requirements are subjective, the directive is absolute: one must be classy.
  • Trashy: The opposite of “classy” and includes behavior like taking off one’s thong in a hot tub, bringing people home from a club, and cheating on one’s boyfriend (but not one’s girlfriend). While the guido may refer to behavior in another as “trashy” that same behavior in oneself is often deemed “classy.”
  • Vibing: Getting along with and flirting with a member of the opposite sex.
  • Dogging On: Making out with or engaging in sexual tomfollery when in a public setting.
  • Pounding Out: Engaging in sexual intercourse with someone-hopefully in a private setting, but not necessarily.
  • Blow-out: The type of ornate plumage the male employs that requires a blow dryer and several tubes of hair gel to perfect.
  • Sluts: To men a “slut” is both any woman who wants to have sex with him and any woman who doesn’t want to have sex with him, which means all women are sluts. To the female it is all women other than herself. It can also be a term of sexual empowerment for a woman, unless applied to one who is not “classy,” then it is the ultimate insult

gabe wins the existential journey medal for making us look OURSELVES through the eyes of the guidz.

I actually believe, for example, that date rape is wrong, and that owning your own tanning bed is ridiculous. But I am sure that there are aspects of the way I live my life that other people might find misguided or offensive. At the very least, I am sure that I don’t want it to be televised. Which is actually the biggest difference between me and the cast of Jersey Shore. The rest is just details.

maybe gabe and rich should work together? in building the annals of modern american history?

i am full of great ideas.

rich wins for most comprehensive and most gloriously written. i mean this:

With the amount of excitement on the Internet leading up to this show, you’d think these meatheads were speaking in LOLcat. (I can has hottest heelz? If only they were that articulate!) It’s kind of a no-brainer, as centering a show around douchebags and douchebagettes (douchebaugettes, if you’re French and/or cultured) is a mainline to the kind of schadenfreude reality TV watchers fiend.

for serious bros. when the time comes to write the chapters in the history books about “america in the new millenium” for our children and our children’s children to read? i sure hope rich juzwiak is around to step up and just TAKE over and edumacate the youth of america with HIS MIND.
