A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Fist pumpin’ with the best of them.

We all have a thing we like to do that may or may not embarrass us if word got out that we did them. Well my thing is watching terrible TV shows on MTV, and it don’t get no worse than this show here. Its like watching a train wreck, its terrible but you can’t peel your eyes away.

In any case, I wanted to talk a little about my favorite “guido” in the house: Pauly D. He has so much going on with him it’ll make your head spin. He has a full arsenal of tattoos, has a penis piercing (although his website doesn’t specify which type) and he may or may not have suspended (in one of the episodes it looks like he is wearing hooks on a chain). That plus some of the other non-permanent modifications like the deep tan, perfect blow out and big oily muscles. This guy has it all!

Now I want to know, since I shared my secret with you, what is your dirty little secret indulgence?

More fist pumping action after the break


mmm-mmm-mmm

    i don’t really watch tv but i caught this show when i had pneumonia and nothing else to do….so this is definitely my guilty pleasure, too! pauly and vinnie are both adorable, and that’s badass if pauly really did hang at one point.

    ru: i don’t understand the complaint about this being relevant. it IS relevant, whether you appreciate the tattoos, character, or tv show. your constant bitching just makes you look like…well, a bitch. you’d probably be a lot happier if, when you saw something online that you didn’t like, you shut the fuck up and looked at something else.

    sunshowers…those pics almost made it into this post but I didn’t think they were relevant because you couldn’t see any mods in the pics. Oddly enough I thought that would be a big deal, never mind all the racism and cry babies.

    Haha, I watched this for the first time last week and it’s so bad it’s (almost) good. The Michael Cera stuff was hilarious though! I wouldn’t say I like the show or Pauly D, but I do like this post. I didn’t know about the peen piercing or the possible suspension, that’s kind of cool. And it definitely shows variety, I think! 🙂

    Apparently he’s in talks to appear in Playboy, and is willing to go the full Monty, so the penis piercing mystery may yet be solved.

    Where the fuck is racism? Are you really that stupid Lily? They call themselves Guidos for Dog sake!

    I also agree with Ru. If you need me, I’ll be reading zentastic.

    Show me the a negative view. I can’t help it the author has no clue what racism is. Or how dumb the show is. At this point I long for Jordan or Rachel to start posting again. Something of substance would be nice, not some douches on a tv show with played out tattoos. I do like the center one.

    Way to contradict yourself. The author wrote that this show was terrible also(hence why its a guilty pleasure!). She used the term “guido” because if you watch the show, that is what this person Pauly D calls himself. As well as everyone else on the show. You need to read again what she wrote, and think before you reply.

    My sisters told me about Jersey Shore and told me I absolutely had to watch it. The trailer almost made me barf, so I declined, but totally hilarious from an anthropological perspective.

    Guilty pleasure: I love Glee. Two friends and I started the official University of Toronto Glee club. Because of that show, I know how to the Single Ladies dance in its entirety.

    I like the tattoos. I suspect Pauly’s hairstyle will be a source of much embarrassment when he views these pics in years to come. I thought the dancing and music were ghastly and hope they don’t find their way over to England.

    I was all excited because there were new posts… and then it was about Jersey Shore. And then I was excited that people were trashing Jersey Shore with as much vigor as I do… and then people started saying others should die.

    C’mon now guys, you’re killing me here.

    deadman13 – I suppose there could be debate over whether ‘guido’ is a racist term or not. However, i think we’re all pretty clear that calling a Jewish person a kike is just plain OFFENSIVE and is considered racist. So I’m with Lily, keep that sort of shit to your self, thank you very much.

    Twilight is my guilty pleasure. I know its meant for preteen girls who have no self-esteem, but I love it anyway.

    Also, if you want modblog to be more serious maybe we should try having actual discussions about the content posted instead of whining and bitching?

    I’ll Start!

    What do you think makes people cover themselves in flash vs. getting custom work done? Is custom work that much better? and is it always better? I’d like to know what people think about that…

    Also, my 2 cents: I really like the Cadillac tattoo myself, I’m not much for branding myself but the font and the placement look hot.
