Today was a sad day for haters of the Jersey Shore cast… they rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Yes, haters, this cast of over-tanned, alcoholic and narcissistic “Jersey” kids have infiltrated every possible crease of our society.
Sidenote: Only one of these kids is actually from the beautiful state of New Jersey and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola isn’t even from the Seaside Heights area, where the show takes place. And no the “Dirty Jerz” is not actually dirty, but some of the people that vacation there during the summer are (i.e. – Jersey Shore cast). Actual Jersey Shore kids are a classier breed. To prove to all of you that Jersey kids aren’t all trashy attention-whores with pea brains, I will proudly declare my affiliation with the Garden State. Yes, everyone, I am a Jersey girl and I live about 15 minutes from where these characters take up residence during the summer. Now back to the matter at hand…
Not only is the Jersey Shore crew taking over the NYSE, they are taking over Facebook and iPhone apps! I completely understand that MTV needs to promote the debut of the second season, but SERIOUSLY?!? I think they’ve gone a little (and by little, I mean exponentially) overboard. The Facebook game “challenges players to battle each other in head-to-head pickle and tanning-lotion-throwing competitions.” (Wow, that sounds riveting…) The MTV iPhone app doesn’t get much better; “Spread Snooki” (I personally think it should be called “Punch Snooki”) will allow the buyers to superimpose Snooki’s obnoxious face or fist-pump gesture onto iPhone photos they take or already have in their library.
Thanks for letting me vent Socialites, stay classy.
