Celeb books don't take people away from real books, any more than Really Rude People from New Jersey take away viewers away from Mad Men and 30 Rock.

LOL My kids won't eat at Mickey D's they're food snobs to the Nth degree. Me, I'd kill for the fries which is why they're skinny and I'm sooo not!<br /><br />As for Snookie and her book deal, I just shrug and think that many of her fans whose only reading material is Cosmo and People Magazine might just discover another pastime other than watching Jersey Shore. Oh and as a former Jersey girl, I gotta say, I've never seen anyone like them. I used to date the head lifeguard on North Wildwood Beach, I saw just about everything at the shore, but nothing compared to Snookie and The Constipation. <br /><br />Thanks for the welcome and Diane, I spewed when I read your comment.

My grandad wouldn't let us eat hot dogs because he said they were full of icky parts. Just another reason why I'm a vegetarian. Then again, the Native American creed of using every part of the animal was a good one, so maybe Anus Wraps aren't so bad after all. Here's a question to ponder - if The Situation ate an Anus wrap, would he become The Constipation?Diane Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934612750269211608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-25125755657235642482010-10-17T20:29:09.596-05:002010-10-17T20:29:09.596-05:00I'm going to stay away from your McDonald'...I'm going to stay away from your McDonald's O.o and just weigh in the with "the more the merrier" crowd. As far as I'm concerned there can never be enough books, so bring it on, Snooki. There is room in the market for everyone, because the readers' tastes are so diverse. Chances are, the person who buys Snooki's book would never have even looked at your book in the store, so you haven't lost a single sale because of her, am I right? (And by "your" I didn't mean "you" specifically). So let them all write, or eat cake for that matter. There really is enough room at the top for all of you ;-).Zitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934983183390982361noreply@blogger.com
