Wow. Ordinarily I’m not one of those people who think awkward situations are always funny, but this interview between “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki and the band Phoenix (you know, the group your cool friends were Twittering about six months ago) is just an absolute train wreck. The linguistic/cultural chasm between these two entities is far larger than anything that should ever be televised.

Snooki: Hi guys. I don’t know if you know me. Snooki? “Jersey Shore”? Do you watch it?
Laurent Brancowitz: No, we are French.
Snooki: Oh, that’s terrible.

She’s like America’s version of Borat, except real. I love it.
