Another Obama Carnival Game Pops Up at the Jersey Shore
Edited on Mon Aug-09-10 05:24 PM by RamboLiberal

Snooki finally has the chance to give President Obama some payback for passing that 10-percent tax on tanning -- by way of a baseball and his likeness.

On the ever-so-refined boards of Seaside Heights, N.J., the Commander-in-Chief makes a daily spin in a carnival game -- a lot like the "Alien Attack" game you saw last week in Allentown, Pa. Only instead of shooting at a likeness of Obama, you get to try out your pitching arm.

The goal of the game is to knock plates out of the hands of famous characters like the president, the Burger King, Family Guy's Stewie and Michael Jackson.

Chris Barrett, a New Jersey filmmaker, author and entrepreneur, read about the Allentown guy who pulled his game down and realized seeing something a lot like it down the shore.

Bet if that was Bush or Palin as a target the Repukes would be checking that worker (he looks like he could be from Middle-East) at the game's papers. Probably accuse him of being a terrorist.

And that "punk" kid in the video has me steaming!

1. Outrageous.
...there is no low, that is too low these days.

When you are in The Party of Hate, you just keep hating.

2. I am so happy to have left that
shit hole state. Born and raised in NJ and grateful to be able to enjoy a few more years in NC. It's not Eden but, it's 100 x's better than NJ.

The Jersey Shore, sucks!

9. I left NJ as soon as I could, but I'd never diss the Jersey Shore Parts of it are quite lovely.
Seaside Heights, however, has long been for students on spring break, etc. It's noisy and gaudy.

I'm sure NC has areas that are good and areas that are tacky, too. Every state does.

3. It's not so much that the game is bad (you're only aiming at what he's holding)
It's just that they made him darker and used ethnic stereotypes. Just look at that doll, disgusting.

4. Jersey Shore: disgraced by reality show partiers and now racists.
It would've been awesome if the cast of that horrid show Jersey Shore were found to have created this carnival game. That show'd be canceled quickly and a lot of people less annoyed!

7. As the Governor of NJ observed, the cast of Jersey Shore is from NY, not Jersey.
Btw, which state is it where nothing like bad ever happens?

13. Sammi is from NJ, and the so is the new cats member
I grew up in NJ, and recently lived there for two and a half years, and it hasn't changed: still the most racist, segregated state I have EVER lived in.
