theyre pulling the infamous punch from the episode

"What happened to Snooki was a crime and obviously extremely disturbing. After hearing from our viewers, further consulting with experts on the issue of violence, and seeing how the video footage has been taken out of context not to show the severity of this act or resulting consequences, MTV has decided not to air Snooki being physically punched in the face."
So in a serious press release, they call her snooki, and then specify "physically" punched in the face. Why?
They better just take out that scene if they have to, and leave the aftermath.
And the footage has not been taken out of context, mtv made a show and intentionally filled it with the 8 most punchable people in the country, then portrayed them to be super trash, and made America want them to get hit even more. When one of them finally did get socked, of course there were going to be people celebrating. I would argue to say that out of context, this image is actually far more disturbing.
