Snooki's New Years Ball Drop and Her Excessive Amount of Fame

We all heard that Snooki, also known as Nicole Polizzi, was planning with MTV to be dropped from New York Times Square's famous ball that they always use to ring in the new year; this plan fell a little too short. Since MTV did not get the "okay" to do this, they got denied as soon as their plan was exposed.  The people who backed up the traditional celebration in Times Square thought that it took away the real tradition by throwing a newly famous reality star into the mix.  So, MTV took Snooki back to the real Jersey Shore and did their show there on New Years Eve.  That is what confuses me the most, how can people on a dirty reality television show become so popular among America?  I will not lie, the show is quite entertaining, but not because we find these people as good role models or perhaps their fashion sense, it's because they create entertainment by embarrassing themselves.  Snooki and the rest of the Jersey Shore cast make thousands just to appear on a red carpet event, it is a little ridiculous the amount of fame and money they receive for being trashy.  What exactly is their true talents?  To me, and most likely many other people, they do not really seem to have any and that MTV has made them seem to be higher than the rest of society when in reality they are not.  This construes my idea of fame and who really deserves the appraisal.  Whether Snooki is dropping out of a ball on New Years or she is fist pumping in the club with a drink in her hand, there is no talent involved.
