The Situation.

This article makes me question why I watch the Jersey Shore. Basically, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is making $5 million dollars this year for...well, nothing. For being super guido and somehow landing himself a spot on a highly thought-provoking television show. Ha.
The logistics of this articles are that The Situation has his own application for iPhone. The application involves GTL-ing, which is Gym, Tan, Laundry. This app directs you to the nearest laundry mats, tanning salons, and gives you a gym workout routine. This application also involves a game among a few other little things.
Honestly, this blows my mind. if this guy can get his own iPhone application, I definitely should have one by now.
He's keeping my dreams of being on Oprah alive.
Clearly, there has been a shift in our mediums from needs to pointless desires. We used to need cell phones in the case of emergencies, the internet to research important information, television to watch the news or learn, now it's this; The Situation. I'm not complaining, I enjoy not having to use my brain when I watch television, and I   certainly enjoy people on television making me feel really smart, but I can't help but think applications such as this are wasting my money.
