Snookinomics
Snooki was recently paid more than a Nobel Laureate to speak at Rutgers University. At the surface this seems absurd, but as the article explains, maybe she was worth it.

Do I have to watch cable TV to know who this person is?
I've lately been hearing the Snooky name, but only in one-liner jokes. I don't think very many Nobel winners even give talks for pay.

The article argued that she was worth it because of all of the publicity it brought. I don't think the saying "all publicity is good publicity" holds true for universities, but I could be wrong.
