And here is a quote from Guardian columnist Linh Dinh to the news:
To get good seats for Snooki, some students showed up seven hours early. The decision to invite her at $32,000 was made by the students themselves, so this was also democracy in action. Snooki is a Jersey girl, and the venue was in New Jersey, but the students' identification with her goes a lot deeper, I think. They like her because she is wholly untalented and unapologetically stupid. Her vapidity gives them hope. If someone this unexceptional can cash in on 15 glorious minutes, then maybe the good, easy life can be theirs also – unless, of course, they like to cogitate and can string three or four sentences together. If that's the case, then fuggedaboutit. Onto the trash heap you go!To see Dinh's full comment, see HERE.
