Britain Gets Its Shot At Outcrassing The US
"It's fantastic that the UK is going to be the first international MTV territory to take inspiration from the cultural phenomenon that is Jersey Shore and reimagine it for a UK audience." READ MORE
Who'll Get Punched on 'Jersey Shore' Tonight?
If only Brad Ferro, a 24-year-old former gym teacher, had, while drunk off shots the color of stop lights, hauled off and smashed in the tanned faces of someone named Ronnie or Vinnie, perhaps then he'd still have his old life. If only he'd taken a step back from that Seaside Heights nightclub bar, dropped his shoulder and thrust his fist violently into the famous abs of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. Or, you know, if only he'd decided not to hit anyone. Perhaps then he wouldn't have been fired from his job, convicted of assault, forced to attend anger management classes and finger-wagged into begging for forgiveness in whatever outlet would have him. But Brad Ferro didn't do that. Brad Ferro hit Snooki instead. READ MORE
"Jersey Shore": The Animated Series
It is time for "Jersey Shore"-more specifically, Snooki-to get the digitized news treatment. This lacks the narrative immediacy of previous entries, but it is still worth watching, I guess. I mean, it is certainly more worth watching than the actual "Jersey Shore." For those who are really interested, the subtitled version follows, but I prefer to be left to my own creative devices on this one. Enjoy. READ MORE
Jersey Mayhem: Quiet Shore Municipality Struggles With Force Much Greater Than Itself
"It really is true, and has been proven-whether it's a show or not-when people misbehave in public, it's the same: The police expeditiously end their bad behavior so all the good people can enjoy their time." READ MORE
Gov. Paterson Unsure About Snooki
"Gov. Christie is a friend of mine and if he's offended by the show I'll have to watch it sometime. He must have some time on his hands. He passed a property tax cap. That's why he has the time to watch the show." READ MORE
There Is A Situation On The "Jersey Shore"
I have been woefully remiss in keeping you abreast of developments concerning the contract issues for the cast of MTV's "Jersey Shore." I blame the ample distractions of the season, but that's really no excuse: I've failed you. As a small attempt at making amends, let me direct you to this exhaustive discussion of the subject, which clarifies many misconceptions, elucidates the struggles of these talented young people, and addresses the poignancy of impermanence by way of a remarkably apposite quotation from 1995's classic teaching tool Showgirls. It's ALL there.
How Long Do You Think It Took To Ink Those Abs?
"The Archie & Friends cover shows a bronzed and buff Reggie (rechristened The Complication) channeling The Situation with a serious six-pack, while Archie's red hair is gelled up into a Pauly D do, and newcomer Cheryl Blossom (now known as Snookums) sports an impressive pouf that would make Snooki proud."

New Jersey Shore House: "a sort of shared holiday let"
Perhaps in a bid to improve the natives' self-esteem, a British network will soon bring "Jersey Shore" to televisions in Knifecrime Island. This primer on what the show is about ("The eight guidos and guidettes (the female of the species) in Jersey Shore wear the badge proudly – appropriating this derisive term for themselves in the same way that some Afro-Americans have taken possession of the N word.") cracks me the hell up. It's like a "Masterpiece Theater" explanation of guinea minstrelsy.
Counterfeit Italian Art Scandal
I am absolutely devastated to learn that two participants in MTV's popular ethnographic documentary "Jersey Shore" are not actually of Italian descent. I mean, I don't even know what to believe in anymore. Also, how do we classify this? "Pseudo Guido?" "Phony Bologna?" "ShamWoww?" So many questions.
He that filches from me my good name is a total frigging mook.
