Cheer up, Subby. With any luck, a well-timed house fire could end our national misery.

This has to be an April Fool's prank. Please tell me that this article is a joke...

I_Am_Weasel		2011-04-01 11:53:05 AM

Maybe it's part of their "Scared Straight" program.

I do hope it's still an April Fools.

AcneVulgaris		2011-04-01 12:00:39 PM

More proof college ha been dumbed down to attract the moron masses.

Quasar		2011-04-01 12:07:00 PM

I believe you're referring to New York Times Bestseller "Snooki."

patrick767		2011-04-01 12:11:14 PM

That's a joke, right? If true, whoever okayed that at Rutgers is a farking idiot. I guess they're not interested in looking like a remotely respectable university.

coco ebert		2011-04-01 12:13:48 PM

I'm thinking April Fools, but as a Rutgers student, I'm not so sure.

UNC_Samurai		2011-04-01 12:31:30 PM

I really hope there is no budget crunch at Rutgers.

baka-san		2011-04-01 12:44:20 PM

Hell, I'm just a lowly EMT, I only know how to save people...

But she is a reality TV star!

Some Bass Playing Guy		2011-04-01 12:52:35 PM

I'm assuming this is an April Fools joke, but if it's not, its a great idea. The implicit "don't turn out to be THIS" message of the oompa loompa will make those students value their educations even more.

Oh who am I kidding? $32k for THAT. *slaps forehead*

I'm sure Snooki felt right at home, what with Rutgers being the STD capital of universities.

Indeed. Whiny liberals can't stand a successful person.

Pft. Can you write a book about stinky farts and date rape? No? Then you're no snooki that's for sure

Buttknuckle		2011-04-01 01:05:02 PM

I want to run up to her and pop her with a needle!

Snooki's advice to students: "Study hard, but party harder."

Gotta be an April Fool.

I hate Snooki and want to punch her in her stupid fat face.

You can't even start a drug drip. That takes a paramedic.

If I were an RU grad, they'd never see another dime from me. What kind of morons run the place I dont know. First they don't even reprimand (never mind expel) the students involved with harrassing the gay kid who jumped off the GWB, now they pull this.

JohnCarter		2011-04-01 01:12:00 PM

Lord let it be a prank

Most interesting part of the article is that they are paying some guy to speak at the commencement, I thought that was typically a freebie.

Really funny that they paid her more than him. Who cares about your Nobel prize biatch, she's on MTV

If I was a student time to tar and feather whomever ok's that shiat

BeezyBates		2011-04-01 01:12:13 PM

People actually think this little gremlin is attractive? eeek.

Take Home Pay		2011-04-01 01:12:32 PM

A whole year's salary.

And that troll will just spend it in a weekend on booze, blow, and bronzer.

Nuts to her.

Dear RU Alumni Association:

If you have $32k for Snooki you don't need my money.

She's going to have sex with them all as part of the price right?

That is lowly. They start at $10.33/hr where I work.

i244		2011-04-01 01:15:31 PM

I was watching this on the local news this morning.

The news anchors were raging because she is going to get paid more money than a nobel prize winner they had speaking there previously.

Apparently this is not some cruel, ugly, tiny, pudgy, April Fool's joke.

And Snooki got paid more to speak at Rutgers than Toni Morrison.

mr lawson		2011-04-01 01:17:25 PM

on the bright side:

If this doesn't convince Al-Qaeda that they lost America...nothing will.

Why I am proud not to be an alumnus of this fine institution.

That's the word for which I've been grasping all this time! Thank you!

Kodiak Attack		2011-04-01 01:19:40 PM

An April Fool and their money are soon parted.

Maybe she can tell them about how if they drink their liquor and apply their bronzer, one day they too can be a part of... WRESTLEMANIA.
