The Meatball Shop Is Suing Snooki and Deena From The Jersey Shore Over "Meatball" Merch

Well, well, well. The Meatball Shop, a great restaurant chain in NYC, has decided to jump in and get a little PR for themselves by suing the ORIGINAL meatballs, Snooki and Deena over their "Meatball" merch. 

The suit — filed against the “Jersey Shore” stars on Tuesday — alleges that the reality stars infringed upon the restaurant’s trademarks on their merch, despite the fact that the reality stars have been calling themselves “The Meatballs” for years.

The Meatball Shop is asking a judge to order the women to stop selling their merchandise, which may include the “Team Meatball Forever” tee both stars recently modeled on Instagram.

Get the fuck out of my face with this. The Meatball Shop is trying to pretend that they're more popular than SNOOKI AND DEENA? Completely ignoring the fact that the "Meatball" nicknames are some of the most iconic of all time? Did you forget about one little thing, TMS?

The internet ALWAYS has receipts. Your restaurant didn't even exist in 2009!!!! Do you have the monopoly on meatballs?? You watched Snooki and Deena call themselves meatballs for ELEVEN YEARS, and now all of a sudden they're rockin' your jock? Their "meatball" status is so deep that it's officially written in the Jersey Shore Lingo Dictionary 

It's right there in black and white, "Meatball Power." When two or more meatballs team up for the greater good. You think Snooki and Deena are a force you want to mess with? You think two of the most popular women on a show that has had 8.9 MILLION viewers tune into ONE EPISODE are going to give up the brand they've been cultivating for a decade? Nice try. Stick to overpriced Moscow mules and keep your head down. I still love The Meatball Shop, but they are on THIN ICE with this news.

Also, how is this not the most obvious collaboration of all time? Has The Meatball Shop ever tried to make Snooki or Deena a spokesperson? No one's ever floated the idea of having them in a commercial? Say what you want about New Jersey, but this show put asses in the seats. We're well past the time where people thought it was trash TV, and these bitches have been immortalized. How about the restaurant tries to take advantage of their stardom, instead of starting beef? If they keep making these negative waves, Big Meatball is going to come through and wipe them out. If you don't think Snooki is somehow behind the scenes running the gamut on the meat market, you've got your eyes wide shut.
