They couldn't spare 5 minutes for something actually, y'know, important?

Jersey Shore is the #1 rated show on MTV. Regardless of how stupid she and the rest of them look, their show is hot.<br />And just like kids will be reading the Caldecott award for the next 90 years, so will this show be either on DVD, Blueray, VHS or some form of it for the next 90 years!Shantae Riversnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-64226721145379792292011-01-13T22:54:40.358-05:002011-01-13T22:54:40.358-05:00Blueberry award, haw haw!

(When I first heard about this debacle I said, "Who's Snooki?" But then again, I don't watch much TV) <br /><br />You make an excellent point about the permanence of Newbery winners like MOON OVER MANIFEST. I <i>love</i> the thought that kids will still be reading it 90 years from now.<br /><br />Hallelujah!Joanne R. Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076959910493197255noreply@blogger.com
