I don't believe the Jersey Shore's Vinny is really depressed

I think it's a story made up by the producers. I've read people in Twitter saying they cried when Vinny had to leave the house to go see his family because of his homesickness.

1. Isn't that the show with whatshername everyone jokes about?

Shimmy or something? I forget.

2. 'Stinky' - her name is 'Stinky'

[HopeHoops]

3. Something like that. I don't do TV, but morons are always on the front page of news sites.

4. (Actually it's Snooki) But I prefer Stinky

That much tequila, tanning lotion, vomit and sex stains have to smell bad...

5. There's a difference?

I've seen pictures. Not attractive by any stretch of the imagination. And yes, I think you're right about the name. It really doesn't matter.

6. She would be attractive if she (1) tanned less and (2) wore more babydoll t-shirts

Instead she has to dress like colorful vomit, and turn herself a burnt sienna

7. Depression

is a crippling sickness. My wife was valedictorian, summa cum laude, and a DI swimmer. Perfection at everything she did. Then she got depression and anxiety (genetic). She just shut down as a person. She couldnt get out of bed and wished for death everyday. If this person on Jersey Shore really did have depression, I think the results would be much different. MTV equating the person being homesick with having depression is really doing a disservice to people who suffer with the disease.

Too many people think it's just people being lazy or feeling sorry for themselves. Or that it isnt reel because there arent visible injuries. This feeds into that stereotype.
