That show embarrasses me to no end as an American. The sad part is - that really is representative of a portion of the culture up there.

Not the America I know. I actually can't think of the name of the show right this second - although I could googly it - but I think they took that circus over to Italy.

"Jersey Shore" I've have never seen the show. I don't know who is on it. Nor would I ever watch it for fear of loosing brain cells.
I don't get why the show is so popular. >_>"

Go read Fahrenheit 451
it's becoming scarily accurate.
Do I have to?
Remember reading it in high school.

About 3 years ago, when I also last reread Brave New World.. I need to pick up Stranger in a Strange Land soon.. although maybe I should skip to the chase and read One Dimensional Man and Future Shock again...
That all said, Fahrenheit 451's an afternoon read at least
Marcuse, not so much

Herbert is interesting, but is a bit idealistic for me. Obviously he has an agenda. I do however think he has some great insights on how silly, and ultimately tragic we denizens of the 20th century are. His observations make alternatives like anarchy or becoming a hermit seem like an appealing alternative to me.

Yeah, Marcuse is a bit of a thicker read than Bradbury....although maybe I should skip to the chase and read One Dimensional Man and Future Shock again...

Absolutely. The Frankfurt School theorists make their political arguments without compunction. That is the essence of critical theory after all.
I like how a discussion of Jersey Shore has somehow lead to a discussion of the Frankfurt School of philosophy.

Is it really such a dichotomy of thought though?
Hey, all this served a greater purpose. I found One Dimensional Man online

If that "GENTLEMAN" came into my store and did that, he would be under arrest leave alone thrown out. What a jerk!

Not that I watch the show, but I think you may need to rearrange your priorities if it bothers you that much.
