"Jersey Shore" returns in January and I'm happy to report that it looks as idiotic as ever. Ryan Seacrest got the first look at the trailer a few minutes ago, and now you get the second look.

I am but the humble messenger. Blame me not for the cultural travesty and assault upon decent people and especially the upstanding citizens of New Jersey as well as good TV everywhere that this show continues to represent.
