Jersey Shore Cancelled
By Mitch Berg
And I’m just a tad happy to say I have never watched it, and could not pick “Snooki” out of a lineup.
I write this not to indulge my cultural smugness, or even to Neely report the fact. I write it for the tie-in; it’s Labor Day, and “Snooki” was reportedly in labor to deliver some sort of toy baby. Apparently.

Now that the show is cancelled, rumor has it Snooki will be offered an undersecretary position with HHS. She’ll report to Big Sis and have a limo for her nanny and baby.

Jersey Shore? Cancelled? Whats that?
Snooki? Who? What?
I need to turn a TeeVee on once in a while…

I was on vacation in Jersey this summer (don’t ask, it’s a long story) when my teenager daughter said, “Oh my God, look, it’s Snooki.” I said, “Who’s that?” just to get her goat and got a pitying look and an explanation.
Damn she’s short, and judging by the conversation she was having that’s also her attention span. I wasn’t impressed. And I was very glad to have never seen Jersey Shore. It’s a pretty area, but it makes surfer culture look professorial by comparison.

That means you could be dating here and never know it.
Waxing her upper lip while downing flaming jello shots would be a dead giveaway.

Ive never watched the show and (in a testament to its worth), Ive yet to meet someone who watches the show who recommended it to others. Contrast that with shows like Breaking Bad, Justified, Sons of Anarchy, Homeland, etc.
