Jersey Shore Star in Hot Water Over Grenade Dodger



Karma may have finally hit the "Situation" of Jersey Shore thanks to his very own videogame, and even six-pack abs might not save him his time.

Even though some of the comments made by the stars of MTV's Jersey Shore [http://www.amazon.com/Jersey-Shore-Uncensored-Season-One/dp/B003IB0FUS/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1285603558&sr=1-1] elicit chortles, they're pretty tough on the female population. In an attempt to capitalize on his surprising stardom in every way, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino put out an iPhone game called Grenade Dodger where he has to dodge unwanted female advances. The game may have him in a spot of trouble, because one of the title's "grenades" isn't very happy about her part in the game.

A "grenade" is a term used by Sorrentino to refer to a woman he doesn't find attractive. To make the game more realistic, Hey Turbo, the team that developed Grenade Dodger, accompanied Sorrentino into a club and took pictures of women he deemed "grenades." Some of the women's faces were included in the game, which tasks The Situation to dodge them as they fall from the top of the screen.

According to RadarOnline, one of the girls saw her face in Grenade Dodger and plans to take Mr. Situation down over it, if she can. "While the girls did know their photos were being taken, they were unaware they were about to become official grenades," a source said. "It came as a complete surprise and at least one of them is now considering her legal options."

Believe it or not, Sorrentino's application rose to become one of the platform's top-ten grossing pieces of software. For the girls involved, this makes for a very public embarrassment. I won't say that I don't watch Jersey Shore from time to time, but I definitely do feel bad for the women that see themselves insulted on the show for entertainment at times. It looks like some of that negative energy may finally blow back on The Situation, not that it'll matter much to someone that's become massively popular thanks to doing crunches and fist-pumping.

Wow that guy sounds like a dick, he probably deserves to get all owned in court.

All this "Reality" Tv like this and The Hills is just more crap in pop culture we will regret in 10 years, like Vanilla Ice and Twilight.

I agree wholeheartedly. Today's pop culture sucks.

Oh, wait. You mean the fact he's on Dancing with the Stars isn't his punishment?

Argh, double post. I'll answer my own question, then: No. It's humanity's punishment.

Wait, just because they were on some crappy reality TV show they're now seen as stars? They must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

He could have made things easier by simply drawing hideous women, but no -- he just had to photograph real ones.

Budget constraints coupled with intellect constraints, I guess.

Judging from the angle of those shots and the position of the participants' eyes, those photos were gleefully taken with full consent. A handful of attention-hungry girls at a club figured they were about to be catapulted into the limelight for absolutely no reason other than their looks, so they let a pseudo-celebrity take their pictures, and their wish was actually fulfilled (albeit in a Djinn-like manner). I hate the show and its cast, but I can't bring myself to feel bad for the girls in question when I'm fairly certain that they thought they were getting something for nothing.

This sounds like a guy I want to punch in the face, if not for the fact he could likely take me down in under a minute. But seriously, he sounds like a jerk and it really sounds like his show shouldn't even exist. Though I'll admit I've never seen it so it might be the best thing ever, although I doubt that.

I hope to drown out the memories with hard liquor. God I hate these shows so much it makes me want to vomit in rage.

Nail on the head, right here folks.

Though I'd love to see the people who appear on this shitty reality TV show actually dodge live grenades.

..I say dodge, I mean stand there
..and I say grenades, I mean holy hand grenades.
..and I say this shitty reality TV show, I mean every single one of these pricks as well as anyone who wants to be famous for doing fuck all. (X-factor, i'm looking in your direction here)

I'm a simple man.

soem of the grenades are actually not that bad looking.

If everyone on Jersey Shore was to die today, would anyone give a fuck?
Other than the people who would give a fuck for obvious reasons (family, etc)

Probably the same people who thought the death of Jade Goody was a tragedy. (looking at your profile your from the states and you won't know who she is... idiots, pretty much)

I doubt even holy hand grenades could destroy the idiocy of the morons who are actually watching this crap, and making these people famous for nothing more than looking good and being assholes.

Whenever you fight a prettyboy, try to bite off a piece of his nose or ear. The smallest, weakest person has enough force in their jaw to do this.

I can guarantee you that if he knows he isn't coming out of it as pretty as he went it he will run away real quick like.

And another pop culture thread full of people hating on others for their interests...

OT: Although I will agree that that guy could've handled this better.
