The boys are back in town. So are the girls. With their testosterone-fueled tantrums and hormonal hysteria, the cast of MTV's Jersey Shore recently returned to Seaside Heights, and there was trouble soon after they set foot on the sand.
Cast member Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was arrested for disorderly conduct; news reports say she was unbelievably inebriated. Then, last week, co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was hauled to police headquarters for outstanding warrants.
The Jersey Shore cast members are the latest in a long line of celebrities setting ever worse examples for wide-eyed tweens and teens, as all sorts of transgressions are encouraged by our entertainment complex. From Animal House (an early ancestor of this class of entertainment) to American Pie Presents: Beta House, from fake celebrities to real housewives, chaos, as the kids say, rules.
