Jersey Shore's "Situation" May Face Lawsuit Over iPhone Game
Professional d-bag Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (of Jersey Shore...fame?) may be in some hot water thanks to his iPhone app. The why-would-anyone-buy-this app includes a minigame called "Grenade Dodger," and it features pictures of women without their permission. You see, in the mouth-breathing, caveman-brained idiot speak of the Jersey Shore cast, a "grenade" is a woman that could be deemed unattractive. The production company that put the app together was instructed to go to clubs to snap pictures of girls that fell in the "3 and 4" range. It turns out that these women aren't big fans of having their images included as depictions of ugly women to avoid.
Speaking to RadarOnline, an anonymous source stated "While the girls did know their photos were being taken, they were unaware they were about to become official grenades. It came as a complete surprise and at least one of them is now considering her legal options."
You can't blame them...the game obviously doesn't paint these women in the most flattering light, and plenty of people have seen the pictures thanks to the app cracking the top 10 grossing list. Check out a shot of the unbelievably stupid game below.
