After three seasons of inexplicable fame in which a cast of sub-humanoids from New York and New Jersey were paraded around in front of a string of cameras to feud, fornicate, and intoxicate themselves into a frenzy, there’s no stopping MTV’s hit reality show Jersey Shore.  No matter how far they get from Jersey, they remain Jersey gorillas and proud of it.  The third season, which was the highest-rated show on MTV, saw the gruesome group back in Jersey after a second season in Miami Beach; for the fourth season of Jersey Shore, The Situation, Snooki, JWoww, and all the rest of the group are heading to Italy, much to the outrage of Italian-American groups.

“We are disappointed that this irresponsible programming will be brought to Italy because it affects the image of all Americans, not only Italian Americans,” said Joseph V. Del Raso, President of The National Italian American Foundation.  “There is a perverse curiosity in wanting to watch the show and the Italian audience, like the American audience, may be attracted to the show out of curiosity.  But we know that the Italians’ good taste will immediately recognize this genre of programming for what it’s worth.”

If that wasn’t bad enough, reality TV tends to spread like an outbreak of syphilis amongst Silvio Berlusconi’s mistresses.  The Jersey Shore concept will be heading to MTV’s UK wing.  However, it won’t be held in Jersey; MTV UK and Lime Pictures will be filming Geordie Shore in Newcastle.  Because obviously they don’t have enough STDs in Britain.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
