I’ve never seen the MTV “Jersey Shore” show, but after playing with the independent Jersey Shore Party App (99 cents) for the iPhone, I think I get the idea. It must be about a bunch of obnoxious, tan club-going posers. Am I right?
The iPhone app includes a fake tanning light, glow stick, pick-up lines, nickname generator and my personal favorite, the fist-pump challenge. Kudos to the iPhone app makers for adding a warning about how tanning increases your cancer risk, but something tells me they didn’t want to, since it doesn’t stay on the screen for long enough to actually read the warning.
And, thank you Jersey Shore Party iPhone app; I so didn’t realize I can burn calories just by fist-pumping! I declare fist pumping the new fitness craze. With the fist-pump challenge, I burned about 30 extra calories by fist-pumping through Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” while watching TV. Next up, you can see me fist-pumping through my treadmill workout at the gym.
And, with the iPhone app’s handy glow stick, never again will you be stuck at the club without the requisite glow stick. Pick the color of glow stick to match your eye shadow and start fist-pumping with your virtual glow stick. You can even challenge your friends to a glow stick fist-pumping contest because the iPhone app measures the count, force and calories burned from your fist-pumping sagas.
Well this Mercedes, as I’ve been dubbed by the nickname generator, is off to the club to test my new pick-up line: “Like the sheets on your bed, I want to cover you with love.”
