Who is this Snooki and why does she have a tv show.

She just signed a lease for what looks like a very expensive apartment and didn't read the lease.

She is going to have baby, poor baby.

It seems like just about anyone can have a tv show now.

Our modern day equivalent, a fixation with celebrity and pseudocelebrity fluff. Also an element of "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" from the Wizzard of Oz

How much have you heard this week about new benefits of the ACA versus how much have you heard about Tom and Katy getting a divorce?

Where do they find them.

I just came across this show, I don't like Snooky.

At least the people on Swamp People have a job to do.

Willingly exploited?

The things she said made it through editing. Like the day she was slumped on the floor and whines, "My vagina hurts." It was one of the recurring commercials.

Hey, if she can make enough money to start fresh with her new family, I wish her well.

9. And that is the secret of Snooki and the Jersey Shore franchise.

The premise of the Jersey Shore show was a little bit like Real Word at the Jersey Shore.

At the actual Jersey Shore (around Seaside Heights and Long Beach) its very common for 20 somethings from NJ, NY, CT, and PA to rent houses for 1 -2 weeks and party hard.

They had a good chemistry and the show took off.

Its not uncommon for people watch and not stop watching.

It brings me back to my yute.

It was like watching a accident.

I like Swamp People, the show is fun to watch.

Snooki was just sad to watch.

I looked her up on the internet and found out some interesting facts.

I don't like her.

It is like the world is all about her, period.

The father of the baby seems a little better.

I am not saying that is right but I do understand wanting to do it.

It used to be that you had to have some kind of talent to get a TV show (sing, dance or be funny), not anymore. Also observed that earlier you got a show and then you got a alcohol or drug problem. Now it's the other way around.
