Today, I offered "Girls Gone Wild" as an example of bad TV in my lecture thinking it was a reality TV show. It's porn. FML

Hey everyone, I am the OP. To answer your questions, I am a student in a ~50 person lecture. My professor was compiling a huge list of examples of bad tv on the board from students, and I threw up a few notoriously bad TV shows (like Keeping Up with the Kardashians). I vaguely remember seeing something on TV about GGW (a reference in another show). In the clip, a lot of girls partying and one of them flashed the cameras, but it was definitely blurred out. I thought it was just a risqué reality show with partying/clubbing, fighting, and a bit of blurred out nudity (like the Jersey Shore). Yes, I did get made fun of (the jerk behind me said, "I'm pretty sure that's a movie" in a snarky tone, and some people were like "…whaaaaaat?"). I kinda just looked around and was like, "isn't that a reality TV show?" A few people giggled, and the professor just blinked and moved onto the next person. Normally I don't talk about stuff I know nothing about, but participation is a significant portion of my grade, so I always try to participate any chance I get.

Well is it not tasteless tv? Technically it is because you could probably buy the **** package and get it

not everyone watches ****, some are still extremely respectful.

Could have done some research before presenting it

Maybe you should Google things before you decide to insert them into your lecture. There's quite a bit of juice on the creator

That's one way to get people's attention.

Always research your material before hand.

I had to say FYL and YDI on this one. Sucks to be embarrassed anywhere, but this was avoidable. Why didn't you research it first before just putting it in you report?

he didn't put it in a report. he raised his hand and when called on said ggw.

Isn't it great that you chose something you've never even watched as an example of a bad show? Hopefully it will teach you a bit about doing your research first.

Just what exactly where you going to talk about from the show? If you didn't bother to watch it then how on Earth can you criticize it? Did you think you could make some stuff up about it based on the title? Or did you read some kind of misleading review of it on the net? 0.o

You could have named Almost any trashy reality TV show. Honey Boo Boo, Jersey Shore, etc
