The Jersey Shore's Vinny Visits Columbia

Gym, tan... class?

Jersey Shore cast-member Vinny Guadagnino made a surprise appearance at Columbia on Wednesday. The subject of his discourse? Bullying.

The Gothamist has more:

Vinny Guadagnino was on campus at Columbia University's Hamilton Hall yesterday to give a quick guest lecture in Professor Diane Vaughan's sociology class, "Mistake, Misconduct, Disaster." Vinny, who was last seen proclaiming "eff the government, I'm part of the 99% right now," gave a lecture on...bullying. (It's not the first time he's talked about it, either.) Apparently, Vinny works with the anti-bullying group Do Something, and was invited to the class by a student who's an intern at the organization.

Vinny discussed his personal experiences with bullying during the lecture.

According to TMZ, the lecture got heated when a Columbia student asked, "What gives you, as a cast member of 'Jersey Shore,' the right to interrupt this class and then lecture us on setting a good example?" Oof.

Well, unlike Snooki he didn't charge at least.

Kudos.

What gives him the right? He was invited by a fellow classmate.

Ouch, your logic lacks.

So a fellow classmate has the right to impose on the entire class?

No my logic makes perfect sense. The disgruntled student asked Vinny what gives him the right. The student should have asked the classmate that invited him to begin with or the professor that allowed it.
