Step aside, Farmville: The 'Jersey Shore' game launches on Facebook

Jerseyshore1
I haven't been one of the millions obsessed with "Farmville" or any of the other time-suck Facebook games. But this may change all of that: Just in time for season two of "Jersey Shore," the MTV megahit has spawned a new Facebook game.

What's more, MTV is also releasing a Snooki-themed iPhone app. Seriously. This is America 2010, people.

According to MTV, the Facebook game "will allow users to throw pickles and tanning lotion at each other in one-on-one battles between animated versions of Snooki, The Situation, J-Wow and the other housemates. The game will also follow the story arc of the show itself, changing with each new episode, tying in different places or ridiculous new one-liners from the cast."

As for the iPhone app, dubbed “Spread Snooki” (uh, yuck!), the app "will allow users to superimpose Snooki’s face or first pumping into existing photos on their phones, or to include her in images as they are being taken with the user’s own iPhone camera."

GTL! GTL!

A few more images from the Facebook game:
