snooki punched

I don’t know if you’ve been watching MTV’s Jersey Shore, but they keep teasing Snooki getting punched in the face…well, now we’re not going to be able to see it. MTV has reviewed the clip, spoke to violence experts, and has decided to pull the punch from the next episode.

MTV gave the statement, “After hearing from our viewers, further consulting with experts on the issue of violence, and seeing how the video footage has been taken out of context to not show the severity of this act or the resulting consequences, MTV has decided not to air “Snooki” being physically punched in next week’s episode.”

In a way, it’s already too late…we’ve already seen it teased a million times–and I admit, every time I see it I makes me cover my mouth.

This show is worse than a bad car wreck, and I keep getting sucked in more and more EVERY episode.

    Um, wait a minute, isn’t MTV the one that “took the video out-of-context” by putting it in their teaser clips like they did? And how is it that anyone could mistake the severity of the level of violence when the poor girl is practically decapitated? And yeah, it’s all over the web already, I don’t understand how removing it from the episode is going to make any difference. If anything, I’m curious to see exactly what leads up to the event itself (not just Snickers yelling at that guy to get his ugly ass out of her face). By removing it, they’re guaranteeing the fracturing of the story. What a mess.

    love, J-Mo :)

    I don’t get why they pulled it. Everyone has already seen it (brutal) and the guy was arrested and prosecuted for it so it’s not like they stood by and ‘allowed’ it to happen. I read he punched her over a drink. Really? Dude’s got ISSUES!

    No. A gym teacher from upstate NY or LI, I forget. Either way, whatever town is happy to have him.

    By “violence experts” they mean that they showed it to a panel of gangbangers.

    And when even the gangbangers were shocked at what they saw, MTV knew they had to pull it.

    Poor Snooks. First there’s the orange skin and stumpy body. Then everyone keeps calling her Snickers. And now this.

    Sheesh.

    Did I meantion that I love all these kids, and Snooks most of all?

    I am soooo disappointed I haven’t been paying close attention to the upcoming promos and that I never watch you-tube. Now I’m going to miss the smack seen ’round the world.

    Damn it!
