Jersey Shore's Snooki: We're Being Unfairly Judged

Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino says he is used to hearing all kinds of crazy criticism about his fist-pumping castmates.
"One time we were in a bar and a guy walked by and said, 'You are everything that's wrong with this country today,'" he recalls Tuesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (check your local listings). "I was taken back by that. There's the economy, poverty, equal rights -- and Jersey Shore is the worst thing that's wrong?"

Despite New Jersey Governor Chris Christie once declaring that the hit MTV show is bad for the state, Vinny, 21, says, "I think the Jersey Shore is awesome. It's fun, and it's entertaining."
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi insists they don't just party all the time.
"I think no one knows how we really are," says the guidette, 23. "We have, like, different sides. Obviously you see us on the show we party, we do this, and we do that. But outside of the show, we're very quiet."

Take Snooki, for example.
"I'll go to frickin' Barnes & Nobles, get a coffee and just sit down and read," she says. "No one would ever think that. We have different sides to us and people don't see that." Fans might also be surprised that Snooki no longer wants to date a "juicehead."

Says the pint-sized reality starlet, "I think I want to move forward. I want to move Brooklyn and find a business Italian guy to take care of me."
Tell Us What You Think
16I've been readying these funny Jersey Shore episode reviews with animated images. Here is one from last episode: http://bit.ly/evhe11
...but we see how you act when the media is focused on you...Actions have always spoke louder than words...
maybe watching MSNBC would be okay but never Fox and rarely CNN... lol..
They are young,having fun and it is a t.v. show that is for entertainment. What are people suppose to do watch CNN and Fox news all day? Lighten up
If you want to be known for who you really are then you should insist on being filmed at Barnes and Noble drinking a coffee.
Leslie Boyd: I haven't watched MTV in about 20! I hear ya! When it became the 24/7 rotation of Yo MTV Raps I stopped watching. My sister says she watches videos in the a.m. while getting ready for work...is that the only time slot they play videos during? 5 to 7 a.m.?Good lord.
"I was taken back by that"...really, you were taken where?? Good grief, kid, it's "I was taken ABACK by that". No, you are not the worst thing that is wrong with the country, but you sure are not helping!
OMG...just what they said shows how freaking ignorant they really are..I "Snooki..I want to move to Brooklyn to find a business guy to take care of me...."....take care of your damn self!! And I love how Vinny talks about the NJ govenors opinion of them..which is how Jersey Shore is bad for the state! Heck ya it is..you have a bunch of morons running around getting bombed every night who are basically encouraged to act like idiots. I used to like this show...but I'm getting sick of it. Not to be the downer person here..but it does set a bad example here..and is far from what peoples real lives are really like. They are just encouraging bad behavior, and its annoying now.
@Chrissy I'm not sure about where you live but I don't know any 20-somethings that act like they do screwing a bunch of strangers and not know anything about them not even their names!
"I want to move Brooklyn and find a business Italian guy to take care of me." That's right honey, aim high. Forget education or becoming a business woman in your own right. Find some old Sicilian stud to put you up in a townhouse and pay your bills. What a waste product.
All of them are nasty, they sleep with anyone who will have them, the funny thing is, they're not even cute!
I've only seen a few episodes of the second season, but with any type of "reality" show you really shouldn't judge the people on it just by what you see them doing on the show. If you read articles online or in magazines about the Jersey Shore cast you will realize that except for being on tv they are just like any other 20-something year old. Mtv just doesn't show that part of their lives because no one would probably watch it. Don't judge them just by what you see them doing on the show. You shouldn't be judging people anyway. Everyone has flaws. We all make mistakes and do stupid things. No one is perfect. It's just a tv show for entertainment purposes. Get over it people.
jersey shore is exactly what vinnie said: fun, silly entertainment. it has nothing to do with any of our country's problems. it is a great escape from life and i think they are young and energetic -- leave gtl alone!!!
Unfairly judge what the heck ever! They are trash and nothing but trash! I have NEVER watched that trashy show nor will I! I have MTV blocked for a reason and that is b/c MTV is actually FILTH TV since it has not been about MUSIC in years!
They're young kids having a good time and making money while they're at it. Good for them. This show is for entertainment purposes only. Vinny is absolutely correct with his statement.
No, you haven't! And I don't even watch the show!
