Quote:
The state Economic Development Authority on Wednesday approved covering $420,000 of the production costs for the hit reality series' inaugural 2009 season.

Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon told the Statehouse Bureau of The Star-Ledger of Newark and The Record newspaper he can't believe taxpayers are paying "for fake tanning for `Snooki' and `The Situation."'

The show centers on the cast living it up along the beach and boardwalk in Seaside Heights.

Seaside Heights Mayor P. Kenneth Hershey says the local economy gets a boost when the cast is in the town.

Gov. Chris Christie suspended the film tax credit program in 2010 to close a budget deficit.

There are a couple guys at my gym who look like they want to be on that show. They do only curls and crunches, and listen to dance music on their cell phones WITH NO EARBUDS. I almost told one of them what the score was once, but there was no other music playing at the time, so I let it slide.

I have never tuned in. I am afraid to look. It might be good, it might be bad. I am just too old to get it.

The question is: did the show stimulate local businesses enough to increase tax revenues in the area by at least $420k? Somehow I doubt it...

Beat me to it

I don't and never will understand why people watch 'Reality' TV. Besides the fact that they are anything but 'real', they normally feature a bunch of talentless primadonnas who have few redeeming features as they try and fit in some excitement into their bland and insipid lives. The result is watching paint dry type of television.
