MTV Releasing Facebook Game and iPhone App to Promote “Jersey Shore”

The second season of MTV’s reality hit, Jersey Shore, will debut this coming Thursday. To build anticipation around the first episode fist-pump style, MTV is releasing a Facebook game and iPhone app that will feature the show’s larger-than-life personalities in cartoon form.

The Facebook game is a Jersey-Shore-lover’s dream come true and challenges players to battle each other in head-to-head pickle and tanning lotion throwing competitions.

The game is set to make its debut on Tuesday and evolve in content as the storylines on the show develop over the season. From the looks of it, the game also involves managing finances and jobs, which seems a tad strange given what we know about the cast from season one. We kid.

Later in the week, Snooki fans can “Spread Snooki” — yes, that’s the name of the game — using an upcoming MTV iPhone app. The app is much more harmless than the name insinuates; it will simply allow users to superimpose Snooki’s face or fist pump gesture on to iPhone photos they take or have in their library.

The apps are nothing more than Jersey Shore fun. If this season is to be as successful as the first, than we can certainly expect even more inane games, spoofs and parodies. Here we go again.
