Professor Chaos Expresses It Better Than I Ever Could

There is nothing the Cave of Cool hates worse than made up reality stars who are famous only for being annoying douchebags. The lasest crop to crawl from the bottom of the shit barrel are the greasy slugs from 'Jersey Shore'. The bottom of that whore pile has got to be the one they call 'Snookie'. Where are all the killer cephalopods when the human race REALLY needs some culling? I know that the second I start watching this show I will become addicted to this train wreck so I have avoided it like jock itch. I don't begrudge others for getting into it but I will leave it to them to describe it to me. Once again, Professor Chaos seems to get it right.

Lehigh Valley’s Star Pre-Owned will host Reality TV star,Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi at their Easton, PA store on Saturday, January 23rd to raise funds for Haitian earthquake relief.‘Snooki’ will be signing autographs and taking pictures with fans during this time in an attempt to help the dealership raise funds for Haitian relief efforts.

Yes, allegedly, people in Pennsylvania will be lining up for the autograph of something called "Snooki."


Apparently, this so-called "Snooki" is one of the "stars" of some wretched MTV show called "Jersey Shore" (because "Animal Planet" was already taken) which features a group of drunken spray-tanned meatheads making asses of themselves in various ways.

I swear, you could stop the next person you see on the street and ask for her autograph because I guarantee she'll have a more impressive list of accomplishments than "Snooki. "Honestly, if your resume' contains anything more impressive than "portray buffoonish vulgarian on third-rate basic cable show," you've got her beat.

I once pulled down 10 rebounds in a junior-varsity basketball game. Compared to Snooki, I'm a candidate for "Who's Who."

And the worst thing is, these fake celebrities aren't even the least bit interesting. When Paris Hilton became famous for being famous, the process itself was kind of fascinating. But now it's just been done to death. And it's become just sad and formulaic.

Step one: Have wealthy, over-indulgent, overly-permissive parents.
Check.

Two: have a drinking problem, but in the early stages where it still makes you seem "fun."
Check!


"Accidentally" "forget" that you're not wearing undies?
Check!


Portray self as an unfettered libertine? (aka slut)
Check!

And by the way, Snooki, if that is your real name, two girls kissing might have seemed shocking or provocative a few years ago, before they started running "Girls Gone Wild" ads during "The Daily Show," but now it's just a cliche. It's just what you expect drunk, trashy girls to do when there's a camera around. No one's impressed.

So the next few steps are fairly predictable. First, the inevitable sex tape. (And you know there is one. There's no way these self-impressed, self-absorbed, self-indulgent oafs are not taping themselves doing it.) Then being stunt-cast in some straight-to-video schlock, then Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew! Then, I'm going to say Playboy? Maybe Penthouse, I don't know, I'm not psychic. Then redemption on the cover of People Magazine, maybe finding religion, a pathetic stab at a singing career in there somewhere, and a little jail time.

The point is, if we truly are a society where people like this are admired, where people will actually seek them out and ask for autographs, then our society is doomed. There's no coming back from this.

I have to admit, I'm oddly addicted to this show. Maybe it's because I live in Jersey, my husband who is totally not into reality shows has become addicted to it also. I agree with you and it is pure crap. We all describe it as a train wreck.

Oh Dash, if we ever need proff that some higher being is looking out for us it's that clip - oh boy is that sweet. Making it a gif that we can watch over and over again is almost like porn it's so satisfying. Thanks for sharing.

i can honestly say i don't watch this shite. never ever seen american idol, that jon and kate crap-o-la, the chef one, the runway one. NONE of 'em. the other day i was at my pop's house (i no longer own a tv) and i was flipping channels. that show was on. i lasted one minute and 21 seconds EXACTLY. i timed myself. it was like i vomited in my own brain

I, being a Reality TV Show Addict or RTSA, have watched this show and loved it. It's so bad that it's good.

I just get sad when I realize that I didn't get to see Snookie get punched in the face. :(

I only see clips on The Soup. If she'd lay off the orange spray, she'd be a hot little midget. Maybe if I had a Cheetos fetish?
