This is probably good for a chuckle. It portrays a terrifying vision of the future in which Jersey Shore is licensed and produced as a videogame. Thankfully, the blow is softened somewhat by how clearly it's satire. Still, I wouldn't recommend giving anybody at MTV any ideas.
I haven't watched an episode of Jersey Shore, so I probably shouldn't criticize. I can definitely see how some might find it entertaining, that possibility of such a perspective exists and is clearly supported by evidence of the show's success. But from what interviews I've seen with the show's cast and news items that are forwarded on by people I thought had moredifferent taste, it's not for me. I can't even conceive of watching it because I don't want to try and figure out how it makes me feel. n

I laughed despite never having actually watched Jersey Shore before (and probably never will cuz if this video is any indication then it's The Real World: Douchebag Edition).

Alright, finally watched the thing and...damn, Snookie's pretty much a Pokémon (or Pokémidget, as it looks). Harsh, brah.
but I have never watched the show and never plan on it.
unfortunately I got most of the references because lots of people I know watch the show and talk about it.
Unfortunately most gamers never watch that show anyways.
