What interests me is when people of one culture and class start following individuals from other cultures and classes. With Jersey Shore, billions of people around the world who have never been to New Jersey, and will never go to New Jersey, watch it. It’s become part of our mythology. Some kid watching Jersey Shore in Mumbai is incorporating what the guys there do into his self-model of masculine behavior. It’s horrific when you think about it.
