The Jersey Shore Train-wreck

Let me make one thing clear from the beginning of this post; I am not going to bash the show because I have never seen it.
Jersey Shore. Everyone's talking about it. Everyone is watching it. People can't seem to get enough of it. We are all love to escape our daily trials by living vicariously through the rich and glamorous. Yet the only thing I hear about the show is how bad it is, how absurd it is, how people only watch it to make fun of it. Now I'm willing to accept what I will call "the train-wreck phenomenon" which is rubbernecking to get a better look at some horrible situation simply out of curiosity. Very scientific definition, I know. We've all experienced this at some point. Traffic on one side of the highway has slowed down because there's an accident on the other and people feel the need and the urge to slow down and look at the accident, or whatever is left of it. I get it, Jersey Shore is so bad you can't help but watch it. But the train-wreck phenomenon only lasts for a few moments. After a while, your curiosity is satisfied, you can't really see anything, there is nothing left to see after a time.
If it really as bad as people say it is, shouldn't it have been pulled off the air already? Is Jersey Shore a car wreck where one's curiosity is satisfied after a few moments? Or is it a train wreck where there is so much damage it takes a lot longer for the mind to process it? Where it is so awful that it commands our attention; a sight that you do not want to behold but you find yourself staring and taking in every horrible, twisted detail?
