Snooki, An Ideal Idol?


MTV hit a home run with its latest reality show "Jersey Shore". Gaining the most viewers for an MTV original show in two years, one would instantly assume that it is a good show. However, there has been a mixed reaction to one of Jersey Shore's cast members: Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.


Recently, Snooki got arrested for public intoxication. Snooki, 21, has brought upon a major controversy for herself.
Snooki is frequently related to her "pouf" and her sassy attitude. Her court judge had a different comparison; he compared her to Lindsay Lohan.
Snooki does not seem like one to be idolized, even though she is. She has everything from a clothing line to halloween costumes.
Demetria Binman, 17, seen in the picture above, loves Snooki saying "she is the bomb, and she is funny". She also says that Snooki should be idolized because "she does what she wants, and being self-sufficient is something that can be idolized".
Though Demetria loves Snooki, Ms. Polizzi still has her fair share of disadmirers.
McKenna Mansfield, 15, hates Snooki. She says Snooki is "ugly, fake, and she is a joke". She also thinks the entire "Jersey Shore is scripted".
So why does Snooki have such a part in her fan base? Perhaps the difference in fan base is due to age. Demetria is 17, while McKenna is 15. Maybe maturity plays a part in Snooki's fans.
Whether we like Snooki or not, she is still a big part of todays' society. In the end, she still has a TV show.
