Hell, I live on the other side of the continent, and I do not want them in my home state. These people are from Long Island or some other terrible New York place, and they come and invade northern New Jersey, and they’re stupid and obnoxious and horrible people who should be stopped by force if necessary, and then we should round up the MTV producers who thought this show was a good idea, and force them to sit on the beach until they get skin cancer and die, and then bludgeon their corpses just for fun.\[snip] > > Seriously, I’m the first to admit that New Jersey has plenty of honest problems, but much of the shore is really nothing like you may imagine. This. The \*Newark Star-Ledger \*covered the show’s casting early on, and found – lo and behold! – that only two of the cast members were from New Jersey. ---

Heh! I got to see Snookie live this past weekend. ``` For some unknown reason she was a guest at the Arnold Fitness Classic in Columbus Ohio. ``` I thought it was hilarious. In a place full of body builders, fencers, martial artists and aspiring and professional fitness types, here was this goofy fame whore who wouldn’t know a workout if someone threw a dumbbell at her head! 😛 ---

The only girl on that show that is remotely attractive is Sammi. To me anyway, she has kind of that cheerleader, girl next door look. Jwowowow has a 40 year old face on a 20 year old plastic body. Snooki --really, Snooki is the nickname you go by?-- looks like [something so un-PC, I’m not even going to say it here] and FWIW, I don’t have cable, have never seen the show, and my opinions come solely from what I’ve read online or heard from others. The [_Huffington Post_](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/12/snooki-naked-nude-pic-rel_n_460388.html) does claim there are some nude photos of Snooki floating around the tubes. And so help me Jeezebus, when I get home from work I’m going to go try and find them. ETA: Holy crap… there is a web site nakedSnooki dot com – I have not visited this site but I assume it is NSFW ---

> [@Hampshire](#): > > Is _Jersey Shore_ a sequel to _Growing up Gotti_? > > More guido trash? A lot of folks in my neighborhood spent their summers or summer weekends in Wildwood. One of them posted as her facebook status a while ago, “Jersey Shore makes Growing Up Gotti look like Masterpiece Theater.” When I was first married my in-laws had a charming little house a block in from the beach at Long Beach Island. It wasn’t fancy. It was a beach house. By the time they were ready to sell it those houses were pretty quickly being replaced by the beach house version of “McMansions”. The neighborhood was really changing. I haven’t been there in 4 or 5 years. I haven’t seen the show, but I know enough about it to know that, with all respect due **NinjaChick** , New York doesn’t want 'em either. ---

> [@The\_Scrivener](#): > > This. The \*Newark Star-Ledger \*covered the show’s casting early on, and found – lo and behold! – that only two of the cast members were from New Jersey. AFAIK, I don’t think they ever claimed it was a show about New Jerseyians, but about New Yorkers who go to spend their summers at the Jersey shore. It grew out of MTV’s “I have a Summer Share” episode of True Life. I mean, hell, the cast all explains where they’re from in the first episode. ---

The show doesn’t actually have anything to do with Billy Idol…does it? I scoured the Wiki link for a reference to him, and…nothing. I…don’t get the reference. ---

No, you are right. On the show they are always gesturing with a “fist pump”. Billy’s video for \*\*Rebel yell \*\*is chock full of him fist pumping and throwing jabs at the camera.
