i doubt it. these guidos are beyond ridiculous, i think people watch the show to make fun of them, not to pick up life lessons.
you d be scared by the number of people who watch this and consider it as "valuable" enough life lessons to incorporate in their way of life and interacting with others. Just think about the number of young men who have a weak/lacking/absent father figure, who dont know how to act with girls/ women, and are looking for answers they dont find anywhere else but on TV... These people are also less and less prone to read and learn , they re more and more superficial and eager to find quick answers/fixes for everything they dont understand in their own feelings or those of others they interact with on a daily basis.
I see 50 y/o people with balding, white hairs, start to lift weights in their garages and connect to the internet to watch porn, etc, with a wife and teens.
Too much communication kills communication. Too much communication used for the sole purpose to SELL easy to watch/absorb crap = massive and unprecendented debilitation of people 24/7 365 days a year. There has to be a middle between totalitarism, aurotitarism, and complete anarchy , that are both extremes only leading people to more suffering. The world went from boring, harsh and stupid mechanical, to an utopical materialistic anarchy where everyone wants everything right now-and can get it- yet is deeply unhappy and unfulfilled.
Youths are literaly flooded with informations sooner and sooner. I see 7 y/o kids -girls or boys-conecting to the internet at the local library and watching erotical stuff, inconceivably violent and dumb hip hop video clips on youtube or playing flash games... Adults who surround em if they dont do the same -sic- dont say a word to the kids about what they re doing, they just ignore em.
That's the world we live in. Thanks god one out of 10 kids still go to the shelves and still find interest in reading one of the billions of books that are available, but he s just that, one out of fucking ten. Well, somehow, natural selection keeps doing its job.
