Jersey Shore
Ezra Koenig spotted bronoodling with the cast of Jersey Shore, rumored to be joining show


Ezra Koenig is the sexi hot hunky frontman from the hit buzzband Vampire Weekend. In addition, he sometimes 'goes solo' and 'collabs' with lots of different indie bands. However, now it seems like he is 'trying to take his career to 'mainstream levels' by bronoodling with the cast of Jersey Shore. The Situation, Pauly D, Snickers, J-Whoa, Sammi Sweet<3, Ronnie, Vinnie... and Ezzie!

Ezra looks 'right at home' because I think he is from the greater tri-State area. Even though he is 'Jewish', he can probably still vibe guido style. He was educated at a top tier American university, and is probably pretty good at 'learning about' and assimilating 2 different cultural vibes. If I were a betting man... I'd say that Ezra is about to 'make a splash' on Jersey Shore. Trust me. The guy can 'run mad game', end up in ur pants in 3 lines or less.

One day we'll look back to the days when Ezra was just an indie icon... Before he went mainstream and became a beloved Jersey Shore + Dancing with the Stars character.

Is reality TV 'a good move' 4 his career?
Does he look like he will fit in on the Jersey Shore, or will he have 2 'win the trust' of the other roommates?
Are Jersey Shore memes 'still relevant', or is no1 interested any more?

***EDITOR'S CORRECTION***

According to our fact-checking department, the Jersey Shore photo was ACTUALLY photoshopped utilizing a still image from this photograph.


Pauly D has always been MY #1 Situation on Jersey Shore... Except for Vinny because he is a FAMILY MAN.

However, DJ Pauly D reportedly makes $500k per month!!! That's more than I will make in my lifetime at the rate things are going.

Although he was a deejay long before he fist-pumped his way into America's hearts, Pauly has seen demand for his expertise on the turntables increase lately and "commands up to $40,000 per set," says an insider, "and he does three to six gigs per week."

I had a discussion with my boss about a potential raise, and he said there was no money in the budget. He doesn't realize how much extra stuff that I do around this place that goes ABOVE and BEYOND my responsibilities. Do u see him going to Staples when we run out of paper clips using MY gas money? Do u see him organizing 20 footlongs to be delivered from Subway for our staff lunch? I TOOK DOWN every1's order and got it PERFECTLY. I am a real good worker, and it is a SHAME he won't compensate me. I have been browsing monster.com

Pauly D is AMAZING, HOT, TALENTED, and I hope he is around 4 a LONG, LONG time :-* Keep being u! Tiesto who? #TeamPaulyD

Situation who? #PaulD

Jersey Shore is gonna be around for a long time...which is a good thing bc I <3 hotties :-)

Rolling Stone puts Snooki on cover, are magazines 'officially dead'?

snooki rolling stone cover
From what I understand, the magazine industry is dying, and magazine covers mainly exist as a .jpg file for blogs to blog about but no1 buys magazines because they would rather read stuff 4 free on blogs. At this point, magazines sorta have to put bands and humans that appeal to tweens and mainstreamers on their cover so that they can sell copies. The popular New Jersey native Snooki is on the new cover of Rolling Stone, making it pretty obvious that the magazine industry is in trouble. Snooki is known for being a 'mini whore' who loves to make love to as many men as possible after getting as buzzed as possible. I don't know if she has anything innovative to say, or if there is some sort of 'real Snooki' that the journalist tried 2 uncover.

I sorta wonder if ppl are still 'into' Jersey Shore or if the meme of it has died. I guess ppl will always love Snooki because u sorta have to 'watch over her' like your mentally handicapped little sister, except she knows how 2 party and doesn't mind blowing dudes on the reg.

Is Rolling Stone 'more relevant' than ever?
Are we all just trying to get hits/sell our brand/expose our brand 2 as many ppl as possible?
Does Rolling Stone still produce 'quality content with a high level editorial voice'? (I have nvr read it)
Who is yalls fave Jersey Shore member?
Have yall ever had the dream where u r motorboating JWoww and then she makes love to u with a strap on?

MTV Launches new TV show 'Hipster Shore'
</embed>

After the success of the hit television show 'Jersey Shore: The Story of Filthy Guidos Having Sex With One Another', MTV seems to have extended the Shore franchise, launching a new show called "HIPSTER SHORE." I am not sure if this is 'real' or if it is just some sort of 2k6 style hipster bashing video that is rebranded 2 have a modern appeal 4 lamestreamers 2 'laugh at hipsters'.

Do u think this show seems 'awesome' or 'boring'?
Is hipster bashing 'still relevant'?
Are 'hipsters' still alive or dead?
Do these characters seem as compelling as The Sitaushion, Cheeto, DJ Paula Dean, and J-Boobb, or will the Jersey Shore 'never be topped'?

do hipster bashing videos in our modern world make u sad?
Will Hipster Shore become a cultural sensation?
Did this viral video utilize tons of funny + original 'hipster bashing' jokes, or did it just perpetuate 'the usual crap' [via PBR]?
Who is ur fave character on the Jersey Shore/Hipster Shore?
"When will effing hipsters ever learn that they are not original?" -a mainstreamer LOLing at hipster bashing meme videos

Baskin Robbins rebrands, chooses filthy Jersey Shore guido DJ Pauly D as their spokesman


I can't even remember how many blog years ago Jersey Shore came out on MTV, but it was apparently a 'cultural phenomenon', making the cast some of the most important 21st century figures in the history of the 21st century. Never before have a cast of friends meant so much to the nation since the television show Friends. I guess all of these people were 'weirdo freaks' that Middle America could laugh at on a consistent basis, so now they get every1's attention. Seems like they are 'notorious' but maybe not marketable. Do u think it was a good idea for Baskin Robbins to choose Jersey Shore cast member DJ Pauly D as the face of their latest marketing campaign?

Not sure if DJ Pauly D was a good hire. I feel like 'The Situation' and 'Snooki' probably have the best brands, but maybe DJ Pauly D was cheaper than those two. Feels like a weird person to hire, especially so far removed from Jersey Shore buzz, but maybe he was a good value for their target market. Wonder if any1 from the show '16 and pregnant' could be the Baskin Robbins brand ambassador, since they probably 'crave' ice cream in their 16 year old bellies.

Is Baskin Robbins having trouble competing with the expanding frozen yogurt industry? Do they have to become one of those brands that is absurd / tries to be as unhealthy as possible to inspire fat people to stay with their brand? (kinda like Burger King)
Is 31 flavors enough in our modern society where we could try a million online/at boutique home made organic ice cream shops?
Is Jersey Shore 'relevant'?
Is DJ Pauly D a 'real DJ' or just a 'filthy guido who plays techno and pumps his fist'?
Do u 'get' Jersey Shore fever, or is is mainstream & contrived?

Maltstream Photographer Terry Richardson Chills with Jersey Shore Bro Bags


Terry Richardson has been branded as an 'alt photographer' who was often associated with a 'gritty, raw' aesthetic.  I am not sure if he is 'alt.' Seems to have 'turned the mainstream corner' with Vice Magazine.  Most of the memes he produces have to do with mainstream stuff / ppl.  Seems good for his career to get 'jersey shore hits', and good for websites since he produced enough photos to generate a 'photo gallery.'

It seems like all of those bros are 'getting fat' now that they are famous + don't work out an more.  Worried that their muscle man boobs are turning into moobs of flab.

Need 2 pump iron.

Need 2 get blowjobs

'Fist Pump' joke

Orange skin + human stegosaurus joke

Hope DJ Pauly D becomes a relevant alt DJ in the post blog house dubstep scene

Wish I could be a critically acclaimed photograph, but my parents won't even buy me a DSLR. Stuck with the point and shoot I got as a high school graduation present. Feel like a 'fucking loser' when I hold my camera up 2 get pix at concerts, but feel more authentic

Wish I could have been on Jersey Shore, and gone macrofamous.
Wish I could be a photographer for high end brands and magazines.
Wish I had invested in guido memes + guido humor in 2k5.
Hope that a television network does a better job of exploring more angry subcultures, like the MassHole or maybe 'Mexicans.'

Did Terry Richardson 'fuck up' by not taking borderline pornographic pix of the pussy of Jersey Shore?

Is photography 'art'?

Video: Phoenix Interviewed by Jersey Shore’s Snooki

</embed>
Jersey Shore was a popular 'Guido Show' on the MTV Television Network which built a solid fan base of 'people who couldn't believe this disgusting subculture existed.' After the show's success, the network and the stars of the show wanted to 'stay in the lime light', so they shipped the uninformed cast members to the Grammys to conduct interviews. In this web video, the popular character Snooki, who was known for being small, dumb, orange, and slutty, interviews the Grammy Winning mindie band Phoenix. The French bros are generally 'baffled' by this human Snooki, but probably just think she is 'another stupid American.'

Snooki asks the band 'What kind of music they play?' They tell her that they are a 'rock band', unwilling to go into the complexities of the evolving indie genre.

In this clip, you can watch as humans from two completely different cultures 'collide.'

Do u think Snooki should start an indie music blog?
Are French ppl smarter than Americans?
Is MTV generating 'better/more compelling content' than most blogs/music sites?

Phoenix

Buzzband

Phoenix is a French pop band that has been around for a decade but went rlly mainstream after their album "Wolfgang Amadeus" was s0 p0ppy that no1 could h8 it.

Village Voice ‘forces’ indie music + Jersey Shore mashup meme.


Popular website/magazine The Village Voice had a blogger put the faces of indie celebs on 'guido' bodies, seeking meme approval from indie music fans and fans of 'Jersey Shore mania.' I am not sure if you can recognize the lead singer of Vampy Weeks in the preceding photographmeme.

It seems like a good strategy for 'twitter buzz.' I could see a lot of bros 'retweeting' Thom Yorke guido content.

Not sure if the Feist bubble has burst.

Is this gimmick a 'solid one'?
Will it get 'tons of hits'/twitbuzz?
Is 'considering Jersey Shore 2 be funnie' mainstream?
