First Sign of the Apocalypse: Snooki Paid More Than Toni Morrison To Speak At Rutgers

In yet more Snooki news, both the HuffPo and Reuters are reporting that Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi has been paid $32,000 to speak about her experiences as a reality star at New Jersey's Rutgers University.  This beats what Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison was allocated to be commencement speaker.  I thought this was an April Fools joke, but apparently it isn't as people are claiming to have actually seen Snooki at Rutgers this week.  According to the HuffPo, the expenses come from the student activity fee which if you went to college you know is mandatory for all students (regardless of if they agree on the "activity" the funds are allocated for).  These fees can approach 1000 dollars/year depending on the school.  Frankly, my first thought was: I thought Snooki would demand more than $32,000 for an appearance, but when you think of the state of the economy this does seem frivolous.  This just goes to show that when you live in a capitalist country, the people with the capital can do whatever the hell they want with their money.  I'm just sayin'.

I'm sure Snooki brought plenty of pickles with her to Rutgers
