Do you feel that other generations role models acted this way or are we the beginning of a new look on our figure heads?
I think that every generation has role models who acted in ways that disgusted some – particularly parents while they fascinated others. I was listening to NPR because they have some very interesting programs and Alice Cooper was being interviewed. Vincent Damon Furnier and his friends formed a Rock ban in the late 1960’s called Alice Cooper and were the ones to introduce theatrics in Rock N’ Roll. The ban members dressed in women lingerie; wore makeup and did crazy things on stage. The ban KISS followed in their footsteps except for the lingerie. Parents hated them and the younger generation loved them. The Rock and Roll bands back then were known as hard partiers indulging in a lot of alcohol, drugs and women; they were very promiscuous just like the bands today. Even before Alice Cooper and KISS came Elvis Presley who in the 1950’s scandalized parents with his gyrating hips. 
I don’t believe that we are seeing anything new we may have become a bit more open but it’s all been done before. In my opinion, I think that shows like “Jersey Shore” are showing people how not to behave and the hardships resulting from irresponsible behavior like”16 and Pregnant.” They are warnings and if you take them for anything else and want to emulate them, then you are a fool and deserve anything that befalls you.
If everyone is jumping into shark infested waters and getting torn to pieces would you do the same?
