Just pleeeze another name enough of her already!!!!!! Who wants to be reminded of her all the time!!!!

THIS STATE SHOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT ITS CROOKED POLITICIANS THAN SNOOKY. AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO SNOOKY YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO WATCH HER OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL, WITH THE POLITICIANS , BY THE TIME THEY GET CAUGHT FAR TOO MUCH DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE. SO WAKE UP NEW JERSEY!

Exactly what we need. Yet another reason for businesses to avoid coming to NJ.

Just wondering, which is their local watering hole??

Make the production companies pick up the tab for added security. Put a tax and a "back end" clause that generates revenue for the townships amd residents who have to deal with interruptions and headaches of added traffic, attention, etc. then use 100% of the revenue generated due to the tax and additional back end revenue for public works, police, education, parks, etc. where the funds go should be determined by the residents of the community prior to start of filming (ex: 60% education, 30% parks, 10% senior center) to avoid any controversy over the amount of money available (set a threshold if amount exceeds 'X' amount it offsets property tax if money is lower then 'X' amount 100% goes to public library). Make the tax reasonable and the security adequate and hammer the offenders on serious offenses (again all laid out prior to filming). If the show is popular the inconvenience is offset by the knowledge everyone in town gains something. If its a bust you get a few new computers in the library. Either way residents have interest in success of show and are a little more tolerant because they voted on where money goes and know where it is going and small business is not missing opportunity to capitalize on added revenue in tough economy. Encourages small business owners to reside on community also because then they can double dip on opportunity. Not difficult people and I believe it's an old idea.....something about "FOR the PEOPLE by the PEOPLE".

this is crazy. the girls are not a problem. there are better things to worry about then this. grow up

Too much government. Let each town/borough adopt land use/zoning regulations to control these type of uses. I agree that production companies should be responsible for additional costs of security, etc. but let each town regulate.

Does anyone else realize that this is an obstruction to your freedoms? As much as some would argue this, Television, or video production is a form of art. This bill will limit the creation of this. Thats why they are calling it snookieville to hide the fact that this bill will allow places to control ALL FORMS of video production. Next time you have a wedding and want to have your video in a park you better be ready to get some permits and pay big bucks. Or what if a student wants to make a contraversial film? Now the state just needs to raise the permits for everything so the student cant make it. Who decides who pays what? Who regulates this and what is to stop them from putting their political agenda into to (an example would be a documentary about the governer. This law would allow them to say "you need to pay thousands of dollars in permits to make this film because of what it may cause" and the truth never gets out. Give me my freedoms back!

Not the biggest issue facing us, but it does make sense. Have the production companies cover the increased cost of municipal services - why should we pay? I doubt it would deter production companies from using NJ as a venue. This type of measure is in place in many other states and localities. It's a local option, not a requirement. Municipalities can choose whether to use the authority and if so, how to do it. Hope the bill passes speedily so our Legislature can move on to weightier matters.

Towns already can make these laws. Toms River already has one and that was one reason that the production went elsewhere. Will I need a permit to video the parade or an accident?

Welcome to NJ-The Cesspool State

Hey Nonie and Real Mom, I'm not rich, but perhaps you two fine people should leave your trailers once in a while and see what's going on out there. NJ politicians routinely ignore what's important and pander to lower class individuals such as yourselves.

MArlboro mann sweetie, I live in a HOME that I bought 18 yrs ago ( 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath) a block in from the river & a bike ride from the beach ... having a Mc mansion doesn't make someone rich, usually mean you spent way to much money for a house that was put together as cheap as possible& chance are owe more on your home & taxes then its worth... SUCKERS from NY fall for it every time

PS take snookie & all her TRASHY behavior back to NY where it came from ... We don't like her & her crew & HATE that we have to pay for her poor behavior

RealNJMom, seriously, why all the anger towards "McMansions" and the families who enjoy living in newer developments? Such a sweeping disdain, and very insulting to many hardworking couples who want to enjoy living a suburban life; it's also very insulting to the developer, builder and the craftspeople who make their livings building new homes.

& PS thank you nothing makes me prouder for my " NJ to come out" :)

No, RNJM, I really was curious as to the reason you are so intensely angry about big development homes and the people who enjoy living in them. But I don't understand what you mean by "the truth" and why it should bother me.

its ok if you don't understand.... sometimes its just not worth battling wits with a unarmed man...

Comments here seem to tap wellsprings of anger. May I mollify?

A couple of years ago while we were on vacation abroad, we chatted amiably with a couple from the UK. "Where are you from in the States?" ("The States" - cute...) "We live down the Jersey Shore, as we say." "Oh, my, is it really like that? Do you know Snooker and those people on that show?" A moment's pause, and all four of us burst out laughing.
I had a similar conversation when The Sopranos was (were?) being broadcast in the UK years ago . "You don't know any organized criminals?" "No, and we know very few organized honest people either, not really being in that category ourselves."
Smile. This is a good place to live.

Let's summarize realNJmom's thoughts:
1-If you are against high taxes and political corruption, you are either from NYC or Northern NJ
2-Rather than stay and reform the system, you should simply leave the state.
3-People who live in housing other than a trailer are inherently bad people.
4-If you disagree with realNJmom, you are considered misinformed.
5-Theresa Guidice is her role model for all NJ Moms.

Thank you for sharing your opinion in this forum.

Very few if any of the NJ shows were born and raised in New Jersey.Most come from New York where rude ,crude and anything goes is more the behavior.Sorry just speaking the truth.New Jersey has it's problems and these shows make us look like sex crazed, drunken, crude,rude,money before family scum.If I was born somewhere else these shows would make me NOT want to travel here.They are just helping the dumbing down of America,and most people are so dumb they are oblivious to what is happening around them.Oh and NJ drivers became so damn rude on the road after we were invaded by New Yawkers!

The last thing we need is government telling us yet another thing we can or can not do. Keep government out of it.

@ Marlboro man, you sound like a jerk to begin with, get over yourself
2) NJ mom already explained that she owns a home walking distance from the water& river. ( point?? Brick?? bayhead?? all very nice areas) was already noted that they lived here for 18 yrs so I guess your reading comp. needs work on top of your peronality. sounds like your a over worked angry man, my guess either single bcz your to full of yourself, Or married to a woman that cant stand you & has a sexless marriage. SO go enjoy your house cuz thats all you'll ever have .. & btw most MOM's dont have time to watch TV but you seem to know the show well.

@ webby so true what you said. however iam over 40 & have loved in NJ my entire life.

Well dragon mom, you certainly live up to your name. Do you share the adjoining trailer near realnjmom?

LOL marlboro man you really need a life,
I do not, but even If I Did Id rather have someone that lives in a trailier next to me then you... & BTW the nearest trailer park to me is in Jackson

Why is it that the people who are so irrationally critical of others' opinions are also horrible spellers?

@ Marlboro Man like I said get a life, I do not stuggle to "get by" I own everything I have have a beautiful home ( not a trailer that you strongly feel) I can afford to stay home with my chidren (3) teenagers, & Iam very involved in their everyday lives, sorry if you cant.
maybe you have nothing better else to do but put other people down. In usally meaning

ladies .. ladies... stop defending yourselves or even responding to this guy. Your all going off topic & honestly, he's probably 400lbs single guy that eats chips right out of the bag, sitting on his computer all day IN HIS TRAILER!!
sounds like he watch housewives shows all night long too,,, what does that tell ya?

So if I understand it correctly, if you complain about New Jersey's corrupt political system, you are either a rich transplanted New Yorker or a 400 pound sexually neurotic slob. I am so glad I live in Western Monmouth because there is a perverse attitude pervasive in the eastern part of the county. Don't come crying when your day to day living costs spiral out of control. I'm sure our elected officials in Trenton are doing a wonderful job.

REALLY LMFAO!!
this guy really is a loser!
Marlboro mann, STFU nooone cares about what you say,
& dont mess with Jersey moms, YOU should no better, you watch enough RHWONJ right? & BTW I believe alot of the corruption stems from Burgen Cnty/ NY area that trickled over to NJ Thanks for that .. JUST like ya do to our oceans Just like snookie & her trashy crew, people that where born & raised in NJ love our State,,, If you Dont like it leave... we dont want people like you here anyway.
& one more thing, DO us ALL a favor, find something else better to do with your time, Like write a letter to someone that cares...

Very eloquently put. You must have been at the top of your sixth grade class (your most current degree). By the way, it is Bergen not Burgen. As a lifelong resident, you should know that. A true product of New Jersey's educational system.

Like I said...

Another eloquent comment. Keep it coming folks!

yeah we have freedom to turn off Snooki and all the other informative shows. I think these shows do heavy damage to the towns they produce in and those that watch them, like monkeys many of them see and then do. We all celebrate the mob "heroes" from AC to carnegie and ford. These men built america? lol. These empire monopoly men are our heroes? you people have been watching as you are being robbed and delight in wanting to be those that rob and kill for cash,. Wish you could do the same and that's why we're going to hell and we are all carrying the handbasket. Fools and their money are soon parted and you guys think you are the chosen few? lol. good luck with that. pions

Hey George
Read the earlier posts. I have been criticized non stop since I expressed concern about NJ politics. There is a viciousness in this forum which is unexplainable. As for my real name, I don't need the loonies here calling my house.

Dude, I think you're being unreasonable. I think you've got a real shot at dragonmom. You should play that.

omg
