Awkward Situation

I don't know if you are like me. Sometimes when watching certain people on television I experience secondary shame. Television personalities (I could list probably a hundred...I watch a lot of television) never cease to do stupid things in order to garner more attention. While most people learn during adolescence that bad behavior shouldn't be rewarded, these glorious jewels of humans perform the most deplorable of acts in order to gain fame (Hi cast of Jersey Shore). Every time one of the Jersey Shore cast members speak I am either dumbstruck that they are real people and they really are that vapidly obtuse or I experience such disgust and secondary shame. You know that kind of embarrassment when you don't really know the person but because you see him or her every week you feel as though a)you kind of know them and therefore b) when they disappoint or do something stupid you can't help but turn your head away and cringe. I experienced this moment last week. I don't really know why Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino was asked to be a part of the Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump but alas he was. While Sorrentino is no stranger to laughs (people laughing at him), the laughs seemed to cease this time when he opened his mouth and took the stage of the roast on March 15th. Now, I find it painful to watch stand-up comedians tank on open mic night. That shame was increased dramatically as I watch this amateur and watched the clip below. While others admittedly has no connection to Donald Trump (Snoop Dogg), at least they were entertaining. Michael Sorrentino was just a sad situation ;(
