10. Best & Worst TV Shows Of 2011

Alright, these next few posts won't necessarily be rants, but more of an acknowledgement.
Feel free to comment and express your own opinions!
First off, TV Shows. Now these shows have been On-Air before 2011 but they still deserve an honorable mention.

JERSEY SHORE

I've seen three full episodes of this show, not in succession but skipping 5 episodes between each other. Why did I skip?
It's because I wanted to see how long it took the writers to finally make a good episode.

Jersey Shore is, without a doubt, one of the worst shows that has ever been aired. That's right, not only in 2011, but in existence! There is truly no point to the show, except to show us in blatant detail what kind of human beings we DO NOT want to be: Stupid, promiscuous, shallow, self-centered, arrogant, lazy, classless and lacking of practical skills. I swear every 5 minutes the boys are back at the gym, and the girls are flirting with random guys. 

Get this, this is what one of the guys said: "Oh bro, it's so good to be a guido*, I don't know why you wouldn't become one." 
You know the show is going to fail when the one of the guy's name is 'The Situation.' But see, that's where I'm wrong, the show is not failing. As a matter of fact, millions of people actually watch this sitcom, just shows how screwed up this world is.

Anyways, now for the best.

THE BIG BANG THEORY

What more must I say?
4 nerdy boys and 1 dumb babe = Profit!
Award for greatest breakout character goes to Sheldon (well duh), for his lack of social intellect, idiosyncrasies but supreme intelligence.
Honestly, if you haven't watched it then you're missing out.
If you happen to not like it, then feel free to voice your opinions in the comment box below however wrong they may be (:

9. Aftermath

Merry Christmas to all of you! although I'm one day late.

Don't know about you people and where/how you celebrate it, but here in Australia we celebrate the magnificent Boxing Day (day after Christmas)  by doing nothing other than shopping like a total lunatic. You Americans can relate this to your Black Fridays (day after Thanksgiving).

Just to be clear on things, I have never actually experienced shopping in Boxing Day in my life before today (inevitably dragged to go by parents).
What made me want to rant about this, as a matter of fact, is my experience with today.

You're put into a bustling crowd with literally no air to breathe but the caustic body odour of those sweaty bogans around you. OH and I must add, the temperature was soaring and the weather was rather humid, so yes I was close to hell.

People lose all dignity when shopping during Boxing Day. Some people camp overnight to be first ones in line, just to save 15% off a dress. Wow if you did that, that means you probably couldn't afford them in the first place! You know you hit rock bottom when you're sleeping on the sidewalk.

To make matters worse, every five-seven turns, you will see two females arguing over who saw what piece of clothing first!

Not only is it difficult to move around, but once you have finally found clothes that actually looks good and isn't a size XXXXL, you have to make the arduous trek to the fitting room which (guess what?) has a long as line - with smelly bogans yes. 

Once you've finally gotten a fitting room and tried out your clothing, you begin to squeeze past the barbarians surrounding you to reach the cashiers, which happen to have a line consisting of 40 people.
40 people with an average of 1 minute to serve a customer.
Maths Extension 2 skills tell me that it will take you 40 minutes to reach the cashier. Good Luck Brave Shopper. 

To sum up this whole rant, all problems arise due to the number of people that are with you at the mall.

Moral of the story: You better shop online during Boxing Day, if you don't well then, be prepared for all the hassle and pray your girlfriend/wife does not come along.
