Snooki Paid More Than Toni Morrison? A Rant About Modern Society’s Downfall

Snooki at Rutgers

What is this country coming to? I’m probably the only person of my generation to not surrender to the guilty pleasure of watching “Jersey Shore.” At least, I know I’m the only person at the Campus Socialite. But even avid fans and watchers must agree with me when I say these people are disgusting human beings who get paid to flash their beavers on TV and act completely ridiculous. Even if you love this show, it doesn’t mean you respect these people as human beings. It merely means you enjoy watching their despise with your friends from the safety of your own home, knowing you will never have to meet these people. Or if you do happen to meet them, you will certainly bring some condoms. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The real issue here is that Snooki got paid more than Toni Morrison to speak at Rutgers. Read more after the jump.

According to Perezhilton.com and the Washington Post, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi from “Jersey Shore” received $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University on campus Thursday night. This is a pretty absurd amount to pay this gremlin for imparting her fruits of wisdom upon the students by saying “Study hard, but play harder.”

Oh, really? Did the animal hibernating in your poof whisper that bit of wisdom in your ear? What is this country coming to when Snooki gets paid to discuss the mousse she puts in her hair while Toni Morrison is getting paid $30,000 less for delivering the commencement address in May.

Toni Morrison

In case you “Jersey Shore” fans are unaware, Toni Morrison is a Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who wrote the famous work The Bluest Eye. Alright, I’ll admit, I was assigned that book in AP English back in high school, skimmed it, and managed to get an A on the paper (oh, to be back in high school). But still, doesn’t the dude over at Rutgers feel like a dirtbag for paying Snooki more money than Toni Morrison, who I’m sure will have some legitimate life advice to give the Rutgers graduates.

It just shows how everyone is nowadays. We’re all a bunch of drunk fudges who walk around, throwing “Jersey Shore” parties, who would rather get advice from a bitch featured on South Park as a literal gremlin than from a Nobel Prize winner.

What is this country coming to? What do you think? Do you agree with me that it’s disgusting this “Jersey Shore” bitty is getting paid more than Toni Morrison? Or am I being too harsh?

And if you feel the latter way…then whip out the lotion and a picture of Snooki, and go fudge yourself :).
