What’s a Snooki, and How Long Will We Want to Endure This ?

By  Joe Calamito

Come on now somebody had to ask the question.  Here’s another one- “Aren’t we all getting a little tired of hearing about the negative press  this show generates and these New Jersey and Staten Island shore kids  involved in the show.”  I know I am. I would like to say something to the cast of Jersey Shore… Kids, I use to hang out down Seaside Heights in the 60s,and early 70s some of my DNA is probably still hanging around,  thousands of metro area youth for decades have done the same thing for countless summers- head down the shore: drink, sit on the beach, party, get in fights, meet girls, meet guys, get in arguments, hang out in clubs, drink, drink, drink etc.
