One of our pet peeves (a polite way to say ‘things that piss us the hell off’) is when people screw up Mexican food. That’s because it takes either a complete nincompoop or someone who takes absolutely no pride in their work to do so. Think about it. How hard…

When MTV announced Jersey Shore would film its second season in South Beach, Miami became the only place outside of Jersey to become infected by a Jersey-fied reality show.
