Isn't it Brylcreem?

Girl cries because she has to live with that asshole, and she forgot about him being an ass during the movie.

Seriously: Your wife has a serious need for catharsis, and your response is to film it and laugh? (To be clear, it's fine to laugh, but fucking take her to a shrink.)

OK, so I couldn't access the link to crying girl, but my first thought was "My husband doesn't even have a video camera..." Seriously, I cry at pretty much everything. I am an ideal consumer, and I don't exactly say that with pride. I literally cried last night watching an HGTV special of crews decorating Walt Disney World for Christmas. Maybe it is hormones...

Last year, the mayor of Belmar had some choice words for the Staten Island guidos who frequent his town. As a former Staten Islander, I thought this was hilaaarious.

We only sent our choicest hos to the Jersey Shore. I'm surprised Snooki didn't punch him back while still holding her glass in her hand.

There should only ever be one winner in Brylcreem's eyes: Brian Setzer. The bastion of all eras greasy-haired.

Well, who the fuck knew I'd be unintentionally up on trends. I decided to stop coloring my hair last March, just to see how gray my hair had become since I started coloring it 18 years ago. I was about 20% gray then, now it's close to 90%. I was at an event this past summer, and someone described me to a stranger as, "she's got gray hair but she's young." So I guess it's not as aging as my teenager likes to think. Now I can tell her I'm a fashionista when she bugs me to start coloring again!

Apparently the hot new hair trend right now is going grey. What do you guys think, hot or effing ridiculous?

Hot! But only if the carpet matches the drapes, you can remove your teeth and tell unlimited "back in my day" stories with your mouth full.

I call total bullshit on that grey hair trend. It's fine if, like the chick in the picture, one is 19, clear skinned and wears smoky black eye liner. It's a cool neo-Goth look. But try doing it when you're mid-forties and work in a job that doesn't go for black pleather leggings and a torn Cure t-shirt. You'll be written off faster than the guy who mooned the boss at the Christmas party.

JDW: Stop it, you're getting me hot.

Robert, the man who punched Snookie (am I really using that name to seriously identify someone?) in the face wasn't a "local upset about the cameras being in his bar all summer." He's from Queens, and he punched her in the face because he was drunk and--I'm going to go out on a limb here--does not respect women.

There's a big difference between her getting "negative attention" and some jacked up dude knocking her out in a bar. Even if Snookie were another dude, that's still assault.

Although, I think they should have kept the clip on the air, but made sure to properly show that the guy who did it was arrested and is now mired in some serious legal trouble over it. Actions have consequences, even at Dah Joisey Shore.

I have a feeling the is Gray hair thing is going to be like wearing vintage clothing: If you are old enough to actually have it in you possession legitimately, you can't wear it ironically or fashionably. It jut makes you look old. And possibly lazy. I am lucky enough to have only a few stray grays, but I have been coloring my hair since my 18th birthday, so whatever. I think a mane of silver or white hair looks FANTASTIC on some people. I will have to aim for that when the time comes.

So you're saying that because she's a famewhore it's just fine for some drunk guido to punch her in the face? Essentially, you're saying she "deserved it" and was "asking for it" so what's the problem. I really doubt that getting hit is a sign of pride for her.

I took Robert's statement to mean that she went looking for the trouble because of her craving for attention, i.e., this show. She knows exactly what that guy is about, and she got in his face to create some "drama" for her stupid TV show. It's like taunting a pit bull to get on television -- when it bites your ass off, who are you going to blame?

I should be able to leave my wallet on my front porch all night, but I know it will get stolen. That doesn't make the stealing legal, but it does make me an idiot if I trust someone else's sense of right and wrong. If that guy weren't a drunken psychopath, he probably wouldn't have been on-camera. A pox on both of them, I hope they die of leprosy.

socalledonlycousins, I agree that people need to take personal responsibility, but seeing as she didn't know the guy, I don't know that it's fair that she should assume he was going to punch her in the face.

He apparently stole her shots off the bar, which is certainly silly, but if some fucktard stole drinks I just paid for off of the bar in front of me, and thought his meatheaded drunkeness was going to intimidate me into not confronting him, he'd be wrong. And I'd probably have gotten punched, too. I just don't expect men to act like that, so I wouldn't be prepared for it.

Not bad for someone whose biggest claim to fame was playing Keira Knightley’s sidekick in Pride and Prejudice.

Carey Mulligan was Sally Sparrow in Blink! That's wayyyyyyyyyy better than just playing some chick in the worst adaptation of P&P ever to exist. These people are ridiculous.

/unflattering scowl

You know that animated GIF all over the internet of that poor Italian woman getting punched in the face that everyone’s been laughing at?

I cannot watch that GIF enough, maybe it's the inner Mick bastard in me, but watching that guido douchette getting her nose crammed up her skull is one of the happiest sights of my life.

Full confession: I cried at RoTK in theaters. Twice. My sister would not forgive me. So I can sympathize with movie tears. Some people are more sensitive and let their emotions out with tears.

So I find the taping appalling and sadistic. Her yelps ARE a little entertaining, and I did laugh (though I hated myself afterward), but there's no need to post it on the internet. That husband is sick. If I were her, I'd be sweeping my bedroom for bugs or an Aaron Echolls camera-system.

I wouldn't admit that George. It isn't exactly a point of pride.

BULLSHIT, grey isn't suddenly in fashion, all these tabloid twats who regularly get their hair bleached blonde have gone and passed out drunk in the chair with the bleach one.
The dye has gone past blonde into grey and to save face they've all pretended they asked for it.
OR more likely they've asked for Silver, not aware that everyone ever will CALL IT FUCKING GREY.
So they're saying it's intentional.
I refuse to believe they've asked to have their hair dyed grey. No words will convince me otherwise, ever.

So then comma, the drapes DO match the carpet? As in, none? I tried shaving the southern region once. Itches like a motherfucker but it makes your shit look bigge...I mean, a lot cleaner too.

Hmm...I was pretty sure I said I did not support a woman being punched in the face by a drunken idiot. Let me check:

DIRECT QUOTATION:

I don't support violence against women

Doesn't get clearer than that. I also never said she deserved it, had it coming to her, or brought it on herself. If everyone would kindly stop putting words in my mouth, I would appreciate it.

The Wendy Willaims Show clips are up at FourFour where she brags about the damn fights. If you don't believe what I've said and think I'm just trying to take advantage of a horrific situation for some unknown reason, watch for yourselves.

I don't think I called the guy an NJ local, either. Let me check: Nope. I paraphrased Snooki's own explanation of how all the fights MTV will broadcast started: NJ locals were pissed that MTV once again took over Seaside Heights. Their decrepit beachhouse from MTV Summer Beach, when filmed at NJ, is still a fucking eyesore since they only fix it up if they will be filming there. This is the third time MTV has specifically focused on painting the Jersey Shore as a crazy party destination filled with sluts (male and female) getting drunk, getting into fights, fucking, crashing, and waking up to do it again. It's disgusting and damaging to the reputation of NJ. I don't blame anyone, myself included, for getting angry over the mention of MTV filming in NJ again since they always paint the state as the national capital of ignorance.

I'm pretty sure I said MTV is overreacting to a situation they created that the cast, especially Snooki, has been hyping up like it's no one's business. If MTV actually cared about what happened to Snooki, they would have never let that clip of her being punched see the light of day. They did it to publicize the show and are now reacting to a lot of negative publicity against the show in general. This is a way to try and deflect really heated criticism over the portrayal of the Italian American community to how sensitive MTV is in benevolently saving the poor lass's pristine reputation by removing a clip they released from public circulation.

She's a famewhore. Let me stress: It does not excuse violence against women.

This woman, in particular, is trying to get as much attention as possible for getting into fights on a shitty reality show. That would make her a famewhore. I should know: I'm one too. And I'm not ashamed of it, either. It takes one to know one and Snooki is playing it up for all it's worth. She chose a candid show about partying, I've walked the streets of the relevant-to-me talent-based competitive shows.

Phew. Now that a clear comment is further clarified for people looking for an excuse to fight (ah, passive-aggressiveness, my old friend), I can continue upholding my stellar reputation on Pajiba (sarcasm, too, I'm on a roll).

I used to have (dyed) black hair with gray streaks. I wanted to go the full gray, but the bleaching required would have made my hair break off. I've also done: blue, teal, turquoise, violet, lavendar, magenta, hot pink, rose, candy apple red, fire engine red, and blood red. Basically: it's not about looking old, it's about looking punk.

Why, Helloooo Big Daddy! My Silver Fox, my Distinguished Gentleman, my December Romance... I have missed you. How's it hanging? {too soon?}

JDW: Bald is Beautiful baby. On the head I mean. Perv.

Any man who has a clear-cut requirement for his lady needs to lead by example. Why not just put a jar of fire ants in your undies and walk around like that for a week or so.

Dr.pistaster, that actually makes a lot more sense...but none of the tabloid twats i'll bet money will be sporting this 'look', are as punk as you clearly are.
Man I haven't dyed my hair in way too long.
I've had black, blond, blue, purple, black with pink streaks....this after years of Mother induced blond highlights.
Then i cut the colour out and rocked a pixie look for a while til it grew back, and it turns out i'm a natural chocolately brown, so I've been banned from dying it any colours ever until mum has had her fill of my hair.
I am afraid she might try to nom it or mix it into a gateau.

Oh, and the MTV punch, yeah, no, still can't find it funny. The woman might be an awful example of the loosely used word 'humanity' but she didn't deserve to be punched in the face like that. At the very least the guy needs to be arrested and charged, the casual way he swiped at her, to me, implies he's used to lashing out at women and if he can act like that in a public bar full of people, I dread to think what he's inflicting on any one at home.

Also, Cracked has, so far, written the best article on Jersey Shore, especially on the subject of the Situation.

Real what? These Jersey shore morons are the furthest thing from Real I think I have ever seen. I'd like to Donkey punch them all. Stupid fuckers.

And may I make this point: at no time did I, or anyone else for that matter, say that the guy should not suffer some sort of consequences for hitting her.

It's just that she is such an unlikable person that many seem to think she "deserved" to be punched, which is unfortunately a "blame the victim" mentality that rankles me.

Indeed, that is disappointing.

That said, that header picture is making me feel....tingly.

Fact: I only realized the Gatekeeper/Keymaster joke a few months ago when a saw the first film again.

Well yeah, it was pretty much guaranteed that FOTC wasn't coming back for a third season, but to have the official word come down makes me sad. Seriously. I feel depressed now. I can't even muster up enough enthusiasm to comment on that "top 10 actors" link and how gorgeous Jay Chou is my new imaginary boy toy.

I kinda like Sigourney Weaver.

I won't pass judgement on her character. She could be a bad person or a good person. Neither matter.

She got punched in the face. That's funny. No matter who it happens to.

I don't care about the Snooki hoopla, I just wanna watch branded and admin make out now.

If she had gotten creamed by a falling chandelier, that would also be pretty amusing. It wouldn't be an incitement to start an anti-chandelier movement.

Thank you. You summed up all my arguments perfectly, with the added bonus of making me almost do a spit-take.

I'm in two minds about the face-punch incident.

Mind One does not like violence, and was particularly freaked out by the complete lack of expression on the guy's face. Far as I'm concerned, if you look like you're signing a credit card slip when you're actually trying to slam a woman's nose through the back of her head, you are a fucked up human being. And the whole 'blame the victim' thing makes my stomach cringe.

Mind Two... well, I have a confession: I suspect that, while nobody deserves to be hurt, there are some people who would actually benefit from being punched in the face.
I don't mean everybody, of course. Just the Arseholes. The people who think, for whatever reason (TV cameras, money, upbringing by weak-arse parents) that they have every right to be arseholes, and the rest of the world has to accept their shitty behaviour. From what little I've experienced of Jersey Shore, it appears to be a show full of Arseholes.
And I'm not demanding a full-scale beating, either. I'm thinking of something minor, just a warning sign from the universe: Being An Arsehole Can Be Painful. Or, alternatively: If You Look For Trouble, You Will Find It. My theory is that they'll eventually read those signs and we'll have one less Arsehole in the world.

I don't have context, either, which doesn't help the two-minds brawl. For all I know, the woman was an innocent bystander (although that weary-eyed bouncer standing between them suggests otherwise). Regardless of her behaviour, that guy needs, oh, I don't know, jail time or therapy or something. Can we just say they're both Arseholes, and give him the extra badge of Psychotic Arsehole?

Again, NOBODY IS SAYING THE GUY WAS IN THE RIGHT FOR HITTING HER. Of course, he was stupid for hitting her; hitting anybody should be the last thing you ever do in any situation, whether they can presumably handle it or not. In fact, by complaining so much about it being a woman who got hit, you diminish the effect of your argument by insinuating that this is merely something that women can't handle, while men can.

Unfortunately, life does not work that way. Sometimes, people can indeed write a check their ass cannot possibly cash. And when that happens, they have to learn a painful, and sometimes unintentionally funny, lesson. Again I ask: we laugh at all kinds of jokes on horrible subjects (like all those Polanski and MJ cracks). It does not mean we CONDONE those actions because of it.

And Snooki isn't some poor woman whose husband or boyfriend smacks her around for speaking up for herself; she was a drunken idiot hanging around other drunken idiot talking shit to another drunken idiot. Sorry, but I am not going to waste sympathy on someone who puts themselves in a volatile situation like that. Her not having sense isn't my fault, or the guy's fault; it's hers.

Acting like this was so offensive, and that Snooki somehow deserves sympathy due ONLY to her gender, not only regresses women back to having to be protected from their own actions (since they can't possibly know better), but it also prevents people like her from learning a harsh lesson about life.
