Somewhere between Sammi and Ronnie's 500th fight and Snooki and Deena's lesbians-for-ratings experience, I stopped tuning in to Jersey Shore.

Some of our nation's celebrities won't be content with simple endorsements this time around. They'll have no choice but to threaten to leave the country if the 2012 election doesn't go their way.

Jersey Shore is just as much of a "freak show" as anything P. T. Barnum put together. "Markedly unusual or abnormal" -- yes, I believe that does sum up Snooki and company, if only for their otherworldly tans.

Cynopsis Kids, the childrens' media news site, notes that, for the week of August 8th, MTV's Jersey Shore was the #1 show for teens 12-17. To impressionable young minds, there's a message in all of that.

Florence, the most stunning city in the world, is now besmirched by the The Jersey Shore. Season 4 has started off with the cast acting like feeble-minded, unfunny, caricatures of themselves, only in slightly better shape.

The Jersey Shore gang is at it again. This season, we get to see how they inevitably tortured the residents of Florence with their seemingly never-ending drama.

I sure feel sorry for the future generations who have missed out on that pure, guileless era of unexplained and possibly pre-apocalyptic bird deaths. They'll never have it as good as we once did.

Here, look at their bodies. Even clothed, their skin is near to the surface, JWoww's powerful breasts, Mike's self-exposed abs.

Dear Mr. Trump, after reading your letter to the New York Times regarding Gail Collins's article about you, I had to clarify one thing: you are not a good writer.

OK, so the headline's a lie, but it's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility -- not in an age in which Snooki from The Jersey Shore is paid more than literary legend Toni Morrison to speak at the same university.

Thursday, 4pm: we log on to read Kim Kardashian's tweets. Or Snooki's. Or, now, even Charlie Sheen's. It doesn't matter... I'm amazed by the junk th...

The Kardashians have been the butt of a steady barrage of jokes and constant queries about what they actually actually "do." But who's laughing now? The clan pulled in a staggering $65 million in 2010.
