Even with 300 channels, there is still nothing on tv. Aside from the shows that I do watch, all currently on repeat, it seems like the news cushions a whole bunch of other shows in which I have absolutely no interest in!
Having said that, I am eagerly awaiting the new season of Jersey Shore! In Season 4, the gang take their fake tans back to the “motherland”…Italy! I use quotes because some of the cast aren’t even Italian.
Judging by the trailer, it seems as though Italy will bring even more drama, with cast members mixin’ it up and makin’ out, tons of hatin’ on The Situation, and the same ol’ partyin’, but in a different setting. I am particularly interested in checking out JWoww’s new surgeries as she looks “different”.
(I sure hope that it delivers ’cause Season 3 was like watching grass grow! Do Italy proud, guys.)
“Jersday” starts again on August 4th at 10pm on MTV.
Click here to see the trailer!
AWWWWWWW YEAAHHHH.
I’m ready for t-shirt time ; ))
and to see Vinny shirtless.. damn that boy is cute.
I would rather see things here that are:
1. Deals/coupons etc.
2. Discussable, related to issues we as a group might care about.
3. Relevant to the country that we live in.
Off-topic discussable posts are fine, but I really don’t care about Jersey Shore. Could you please post this in the entertainment section of the forums instead?
Ugh! I CANNOT stand reality shows: they are the FURTHEST thing from reality!
Incidentally, I agree with BBT!
Usually I enjoy random topics if people are actually able to contribute to it…this just seems like another abuse of privileges. Plus, to promote Jersey Shore??? Of ALL things to talk about?? If you’re going to discuss topics that aren’t related to Canada…The massive landslides in Korea? The mass shooting in Norway?
No, let’s talk about a bunch of uneducated, alcoholic slobs who get paid more than people who do honest work. This post is everything that is wrong with North American society.
OMG I CAN’T WAIT FOR AUGUST 4TH!!! Jersey Shore is the only reality show that I watch because it’s just so funny and it feels good to just laugh at other people’s silliness sometimes!!!
And for the people complaining about posts like this as usual, why don’t you just scroll down and skip reading this post if it bothers you so much? And you definitely don’t need to comment on it.
Like I said, I don’t usually mind random topics and I usually enjoy reading something other than deals. But if it’s going to be a non-deal topic, it should be something that can be discussed/talked about. Not just, “OMG MY LIKE FAVE SHOW EVER IS LIKE GONNA BE ON!!11!!11”
This is a Canadian deal site. I expect to see deals and Canada-relevant information posted on the home page. It’s not a personal blog.
Sure I could scroll past it, but I don’t really feel like weeding through personal-blog material to get to anything relevant to me all the time when there’s an entire forum dedicated solely to this topic.
And by this topic, I meant entertainment/tv, but I’m sure there’s a JS thread within that forum.
I agree with BBT!
I kind of liked this post, even though I have no interest in the Jersey Shore.
To be honest, there are only several posts per day here at smart canucks… it’s VERY easy to scroll past one or two off-topic posts per day. Most deals are expired if you don’t check every day anyway. You spend 10 minutes writing up a hate speech vs. 2 seconds of scrolling past this. Why so bitter?
Stephania, could you post items that have to do with deals, coupons, and saving money? If you don’t have anything to post in that vein, please don’t. This is a waste of time, and not what this site is intended for. Set up your own personal blogging site and do that there.
ditto BBT
I CANT WAIT FOR JESREY SHORE!
Agree with BBT! The Smart Canucks team should listen to their readers and stop with this nonsense – do you really think if I wanted entertainment news I would come to this site? get real!
I’m not really sure why everyone is upset about JS being posted.. I have seen other random things posted on here that has not been about couponing and I never seen anyone complain about that.
Yes JS maynot be the brightest show out there, but it is truly addictive! I am glad that this was posted or I would of missed the season 4 premier, and when you have been waiting since the last season finished that would of been a big deal!!
Thanks for posting this Steph and don’t let other rude comments make you think twice about posting what you love!!
Has it ever occurred to any of you that maybe Stephania posts this type of stuff because that is what she was asked to do by SmartCanucks? People don’t just post whatever they want on the main page, they are hired by SmartCanucks to do so and are usually given instructions on *what to post*. I’m just saying.
I see no problem with posts that are about something other than deals. If you don’t want to read it, scroll 5 more inches down the page! I’m addicted to Jersey Shore myself, and I can’t wait for next Thursday 🙂
I personally enjoy reading “informative” posts that are unrelated to deals/coupons, especially one where JS is concerned; not because I enjoy watching that show, but rather it’s something to take it up with a workplace’s ardor for that show; especially if the number #1 fan is direct supervisor XD that I need a little “unrelated” reminders here and there.
Kudos to the post XP
Good on ya BBT!
Just stick to the deals and leave trashy Reality TV to someone else.
at least this post is more easy and different than POST ANYTHING version 4 upon request
WHY so much hate that’s why we have freedom of speech if you don’t like it don’t read it just pass on it
Stephania your good don’t worry about it!!!
OH MY GOD BBT and all you other uptight wallies! RELAX!!!! SOmetimes its nice to have something different posted. If it isn’t your cup of tea, then don’t read it and quit your bitching and complaining!!!
Was it a slow day or something? I agree with BBT and others…I mean you don’t expect to go on the weather network and find an article on JS randomly. I’m all for freedom of speech but please find the correct medium to express your thoughts and keep this site with relevant posts. Thanks.
“Uptight wallies”, pumper?
This site has a specific mandate — to promote deals, coupons or other material related to saving money. BBT nor anyone else pointing out that mandate is “uptight” for stating the obvious.
I agree with whoever said this show represents everything that is wrong with NA society.. I think its a bit pathetic that people actually waste hours of their lives watching this. Wake up and realize whats really going on in the world…
@SANDY… thank you for putting “informative” in quotes because, like the OP stated, this post is hardly informative. Other words you could put into quotes when talking about this “writer” are – “intelligent” “relevant” “over 16” and “necessary to this site”. Just sayin’
“Weed” through? I wasn’t aware that there were mountains and mountains of useless posts one right after an another that we had to “weed” through to get to what people consider are proper posts.
Some people should watch Jersey Shore so they can learn to relax and just calm down.
JERSDAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!:D
I detest Jersey Shore. But a note to BBT and all his/her minions: Do you own this site? You are nothing but a FREE user. You have no authority to tell the staff what to post. Get over yourselves, you fuucking self-entitled, coddled north americans. You all complain too much. Don’t like an article posted here on Smart Canucks? Easy ignore and move on.
No need to swear L6941, use your big girl/boy words.
L6941.. i dont think that kind of language is necessary to get your point across.
and several previous posts/blogs i have seen people comment “how is this relevant to deals…” yet we continue to see the posts, so obvious SC is in favor. i would say either just ignore the posts or find another deal site.
cheers.
I would have pegged L6941 for Jersey shores #1 fan by his/her/its attitude alone. All L6941 does is complain about anyone with a different opinion. Hmm talk about Hypocritical?
now on the topic of Jersey Shore, I have seen it on tv a couple of times and could never watch more then 5 minutes. What a complete waste of time and its shocks me that our planets population has enough trash loving trash to demand this kind of stuff..
I completely agree with BBT and SY I hate how the society today is all about Jersey Shore. I cant chill with my friends without hearing them reference something back to it, or seeing them wearing GTL t-shirts…. It is soo annoying, there is way too much drama.. why do people watch this!?
If you don’t like it, don’t read it minions!!! Losers!
@vibrantflame
“People don’t just post whatever they want on the main page, they are hired by SmartCanucks to do so and are usually given instructions on *what to post*. I’m just saying.”
Based on the quality of most posts written by Stephania, I would be appalled if she’s an officially hired “writer.”
And I highly doubt she was told to write about Jersey Shore – maybe about current/interesting events/topics at least somewhat relevant to the site at hand.
And yeah, this is like the fourth or fifth time in recent months that a post has been on the front page and stirred up controversy based on the poor taste in topic, or an error in judgment within the actual wording of the article (I recall ethnic profiling, anger management issues, etc) And this “author” has admitted to writing to stir up not intelligent conversation, but to get comments (which controversy tends to do – not in a positive way).
Just saying…
i’ve never watched the show, but i think these posts are a nice change and fun to read. Its easy to pass by a discount code or offer you dont need or thats expired but reading a paragraph or two of something different, or new , can teach me something i didnt know. example i didnt know this show exsisted, now if someone is talking to me about it, i atleast have something to say about it!
Look on the bright side people, the world is already so full of negativity. Remember the glass is half full.. not empty.
oh yah i do recognize snookie in the pic… or atleast i think thats her. If it is then i’m not a big fan of her fashion choices.. lol
I think the point is that if you want to be a deals site, be a deals site. If you want to post offtopics that deal with shopping or something remotely related to deals, great. If you want to be an entertainment or opinions blog, then go with that. You can’t be good at everything.
If I ran a business and kept receiving complaints about the same person/issue, I would address them or fear losing customers and ultimately, money. It’s not a matter of negativity or scrolling past things. If I went to an entertainment site and saw a post about a scientific finding, I’d probably be annoyed by that too.
You can take these repeated complaints seriously or ignore/delete them. It’s up to you.
Well said Sylvia.
There’s a ton of great TV on in the summer, Jersey Shore excluded.
Jersey Shore is one of those shows that in 5 or 10 years people will say “I can’t believe I ever liked that show”.
People. Seriously. Off topics have been posted since this blog started in 2006. If you don’t want to read off topics theres this great thing called skipping the post.
There is absolutely no need to be rude about it. Life is far too short to complain about everything.
umm Sally i dont think its the people that complained about the post that are being rude.. its the people bashing them for having the opinion thats rude
L6941 I support you. I have heard that language before, and my ears didn’t fall off. Some people need to get over themselves.
Signing in under different names but the same IP address in order to post support for your own comments is lame. Just sayin’.
From what Im reading is theres a lot of complaining about an off topic, not the other way around, unless some posts are gone. Its all completely unness. and rude.
Reality shows are a time killer. MEANING its a waste time-which is money and your life.
Pffft i don’t care if it is a time killer. Sometimes life is too short not to enjoy things. I happen to enjoy JS 🙂 and I will keep on enjoying it even after many people point out that its a “time killer”… OH and survivor, NY ink and big break golf shows too! Just because you think its a time killer, doesn’t mean you need to stomp on other peoples enjoyments!
Stephania, thank you for the different type of post. I’m also excited about the return of our fave orange people 🙂 I’ll be fist pumping my way to jersday 🙂
