Yesterday, America’s favorite miniature reality nugget Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was in a New Jersey court to face charges stemming from her July arrest during production of season 3 in Seaside Heights. Snooki was fined $500 and ordered to perform community service as punishment for being drunk and disorderly on the beach. But the judge also admonished Snooki (“Rude, profane, obnoxious and self-indulgent is not the way to live your life. If this was your idea of a good time, it appears your recent celebrity has affected your judgment.”) and he called her a “Lindsay Lohan wannabe.”
Now, I’m not saying that Snooki is an innocent angel, but she’s hardly on some kind of destructive Lohan-esque path. She’s on a reality show which pretty much demands that she have fun and go out and drink alcohol. Plus, as anyone can attest to on the show, Snooki is hardly “rude” or “obnoxious.” She’s actually one of the more endearing castmembers on the show. I may be a Jersey Shore apologist, but I’m also tired of people being so mean to this cast. You can dislike the show. You can choose not to watch it. These kids aren’t hurting anyone (except for maybe the few random folks they have gotten in fights with) and, personally, I don’t think they deserve such vitriol. But then again, to use the words of the judge, Jersey Shore IS actually my idea of a good time.
THIS, Tim Stack. This.
They’re both female, that is where similarities end.
Sure this was fair. The only thing the judge forgot to do was to wipe her nose in a pile of dog crap like she deserves to be treated.
I like this. Bad dog! Baaaaaaad dog! Bad!
Yes! Nice. Both of them deserve it.
both of them should be insulted.
the show is a demoralization of americans and humans alike its a shame people are intrigued by them.
Really, it isnt demeaning to anyone but themselves, and honestly if you want to talk about demeaning lets talk Biggest loser or wipeout? Its all entertainment in the end
If any of the shows mentioned are considered entertainment, Lord help us all.
They are an over exaggeration of the term ‘guido.’ In what way does this make them a representation of all Americans?
She is a little fat pig.
Agreed. oink oink. Where’s the BEEF?
Who cares
One of them is gay and the other is not
I’m just sick of seeing both of them all over the web , I can’t stand either one
Yeah, we wouldn’t want to drag Snooki’s good name through the mud like that, would we?
Hopefully the cast of Jersey Shore is not an indication of the direction we are headed in. Sad
You’re right, JoeE.
The cast of “Jersey Shore” is destroying the brain cells of all who watch it. You don’t consider that destructive?
He should have pulled a Dean Wormer: “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life”
after that, he could order DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION
Don’t care!!!
The one insulted by the comparison should be Lohan. She actually had a career and talent. Snooki is only “famous” because she gets drunk at the Jersey Shore.
I actually assumed this was going to be the point of the piece when I clicked it.
Not a Lohan fan but she actually did have talent once upon a time and worked! and earned it when she was merely a kid. To compared the pathetic fall of Lohan to a piece of no talent trash(even if Lohan not acts like trash herself)is stupid. The society is becoming an idiocracy more and more every day.
Mean Girls wasn’t that bad either.
Lohan has no one to blame but herself. She had every opportunity in the world and she blew it. And the comparison should end with the fact that Snooki is actually making money, unlike Lohan.
She may have had a career, but talent is pushing it. Her only talent is being obnoxious and self-destructive.
Both are garbage and nobody should aspire to pattern their life after either one of them.
Amen!
penny is right. listen to penny.
