Snooki's words more shaming than '50 Shades of Grey,' declare readers

8/1/2012

Reading something penned by Snooki of "Jersey Shore" fame is officially more embarrassing than reading "mommy porn." In a "60 Minutes"/Vanity Fair poll, 48 percent of respondents said they would be mortified if they were seen reading Snooki's "A Shore Thing" in public, as opposed to the six percent who said they’d be red-faced if they were busted pawing at E. L. James' popular racy tome, "Fifty Shades of Grey." Others said they'd be more embarrassed perusing President Obama's memoir (16%), the National Enquirer (11%) or Mitt Romney's memoir (8%) than the best-selling erotic novel, so maybe people are just more scared of seeming out of touch with the zeitgeist, however toe-curling it may be? [Source]
