This is how Pauly D rolls during the first episode of the second season of "Jersey Shore." (Image captured from MTV.com)
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is hip to "Jersey Shore," MTV's hot reality show.
But like a disapproving father, the agency from flyover land couldn't resist tweaking Pauly D and The Situation for failing to buckle up while driving.
We checked out the Jersey Shore premiere last night...What's up with Pauly D and The Situation not wearing their seat belts?

No mention of Pauly D taking both hands off the wheel. That's definitely NOT the recommended "10 and 2" position I was taught in drivers' education.
By the way, it's against the law in New Jersey to drive without wearing a seat belt.
Here's the entire 'Jersey Shore' episode:

Minnesota Sounds and Voices: The Spin Collective dancers
The sun is setting on Lake Superior as members of the Spin Collective dancers soak small kevlar orbs in fuel and set them afire. Then, wielding them at the end of chains or long metal arms, they begin twirling the orbs in what's called a poi dance.
