Jersey Shore Star in Hot Water Over Grenade Dodger

I think I'm going to watch Jersey Shore now. I'm feelin' kinda down and that show always makes me fell better about myself.
News like this doesn't really help dissuade me from my working conclusion that the world is full of bloody idiots, and it really doesn't help the resultant superiority complex I've developed in response. Seriously, people paid money for this "game". How is that not a sign of the apocalypse?
Or you could just punch him in the nose. A nice, broken nose will take down pretty much anyone, regardless of how many crunches he can do. But biting is also nice.rembrandtqeinstein said:
Oh, also, is Sorrentino one of the fuck-ugly ones with a huge nose that shows up on a lot of magazine covers looking like he thinks he's Sean Connery instead of some douche bag who can't go 30 minutes without tanning? Because that would just make his nose an easier target.
I don't watch Jersey Shore, I hadn't really paid much attention to it until people start claiming that it was racist because of the way the all-Italian (apparently) cast acts on the show. One of those mind-boggling things because it isn't like they are being made to act in a specific way.
That said, this sounds like a publicity stunt to me. I can't help but wonder if the girl making the complaint is doing so because by creating the contreversy, she's drawing attention to the show and making it even more edgy.
I do not know the state laws there about taking people's pictures in public places, or publically open private places. In most states the protection of artists (public photography being artwork) limits the options of people who are photographed, even if someone makes money off of the pictures. Of course laws are slowly changing in some places given various incidents in the ongoing battles between celebrities and pararazzi .
Truthfully, all that is here is that "The Situation" doesn't think someone is attractive. That's his right, and can say say that in public as much as he wants (it's a free country). It's not even slander or libel because he's speaking for himself and not presenting any untrue information for the purposes of doing harm to someone.
Making money off the game is no differant than say some photographer deciding to "capture the plight of New Jersey's Homeless" and "show them as they are", heading out catching people at their most wretched, and then charging people admission to a showing of their photographs while they talk about their experiences taking them. Homeless people can't come running up and demanding money for it. I remember reading cases many years ago about how it was tried, and apparently this kind of public photography without consent is protected and it's exactly how celebrity photographers get sway with what they do in most places. This is yet another kind of situation though, falling somewhere between the two kinds of issues.
We'll see what happens, but in the end while the guy is being rude (which is the whole point I guess) I don't think anything will come of this. What's more, unless New Jersey has some unsuual state/local laws in play, I stand by the lady probably being a plant to drum up hype because I don't think anyone would have continued to make noise on this long enough to get this kind of attention due to lawyers probably telling her that she doesn't have a case.
Of course understand that I was a Criminal Justice: Forensics major over a decade ago, while I follow legal developments a bit due to my general interests, it has been a very, very long time since I've been in school, and my focus was on criminal aspects of law enforcement, not civil law, and the classes I took were interesting but hardly designed to turn me into a lawyer (rather supporting other things I was learning).
I include that disclaimer due to the fact that I don't want people jumping all over me if I'm wrong, though I don't think I am, and as I said I know very little about New Jersey's state laws.

Yeah, is it just another of those dumb reality shows, only filled with big-haired hookers and meathead guidos? I only assume such because it takes place in Jersey and I saw the photo posted above.
How is this shit popular? Can we round up people who admit to watching this retarded trash and put them in 'camps'? Maybe give them a shower?
I'm now going to make a game called 'Beat the Crap Out of the Scumbag'. It's a point-and-click adventure where you slowly torture Mike Sorrentino to death. Let's see how he likes it when someone else treats him like crap. Sorrentino, please stop wasting oxygen, it could be used by someone who actually matters.
Oh yeah, I know who he is. I saw him on Dancing with the Stars... He was a complete asshole there, too.
Wait, someone from the cast of Jersey Shore thinks they're an authority on how to look good? That would be like Helen Keller thinking she could pull off being a voice coach, or Joseph Fritzel releasing a parenting handbook.
This reminds of that passage from the bible about splinters, planks of wood and eyes. "If the asshole is taking shit, hit him in the eye with a plank of wood, pray for splinters."

Yep. "Reality" T.V. right now is just arrogant, elitist surfer models and attention whores whom think we all actually care a fuck what they do or do not do in their lives, and apparently have no lives of our own in the process. My sister watches these shows all the time, and just.. I don't know what the hell she finds "amusing" about them. *sigh*The DSM said:
Don't really ca- Wait a second? This might hurt a reality TV show and potentially ruin the life of an idiot that takes part in said show?
Oh this is delicious, I demand as much misery as possible for his "mistake"
