So remember that segment in Pulp Fiction ... The Bonnie Situation? Remember Jimmie and Jules and The Wolf making a big deal about when Bonnie comes home from work she'll freak when she finds the stuff that Vincent and Jules brought into Jimmie's garage? From that moment on, I loved the idea of things being a 'situation'. I found it hilarious because in the back of my mind, when I heard that phrase, I saw Jimmie and his cup of gourmet coffee... Loved it.
Then came Jersey Shore........... and with it, this character of a person calling himself The Situation. Now it's all ruined, completely destroyed the awesome idea of a situation. Now when I hear someone say something is a situation, I no longer see Jimmie and his gourmet coffee - I see a rather irritating guy who continues to lift his shirt up to expose his time at the gym. But what's worse than that, is that he is actually making money from it. I mean personally, if I were to pay to see something, I would so much rather see Quentin Tarentino standing in a kitchen with a cup of coffee then a guy who has no problem sleeping with girls he barely knows, bragging about it, doing it on a TV show... and then financially prospering from it.
I used to like the phrase 'it's a situation' before... now it has a totally different meaning and I'm kinda annoyed about it.
And so it goes...
