This week Snooki of 'Jersey Shore' fame made yet another bad decision as she posted her PIN on Twitter. Word on the street is that it was an accident, but her BlackBerry apparently "blew up" as loads of her 310,000+ followers sent her BBM requests. She promptly ditched her old BlackBerry and grabbed a new device (maybe she upgrades from the Tour to the Bold?) but I'd love to know just how many requests she got before the swap. While it was kind of an impromtu BlackBerry Messenger Stress Test, it's something that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. As Kevin has proven in the past, relentless BBM requests can kill your device, and I'm sure poor Snooki had a fit as the requests came pouring in. Thanks to everyone that sent this in!

Dang those are large!!
Her eyes I mean. ;-)
rewNATION Jul 20, 2010 at 2:55 pm
she's fat
Plazmic Flame Jul 20, 2010 at 10:51 pm
I looked at some pictures to find out who she is.... she's not fat, she's what some people would call "thick". You say fat as if her gut hangs over her belt or something, which it doesn't. If you can't handle those types of ladies, it's okay bro... unless you're a jealous woman. lol
scuebydue Jul 20, 2010 at 10:06 am
Makes me want to get a different device!
chairguru22 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:09 am
You can just back up then reset your phone and you will have a new PIN. It's annoying but I've had to do it a couple times and request all my BBM contacts again.
itsdollar Jul 20, 2010 at 10:12 am
Huh? You sure about that?
Steve Rizla Jul 20, 2010 at 10:25 am
Do not post nonsense if you do not know what you are talking about.
qrescue Jul 20, 2010 at 10:28 am
He's confused. Like snookey Your pin is unique to your phone
Gkins3 Jul 20, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Your partially right. While it won't change your PIN, resetting your phone WILL change you social security number and home address.
seawolf8080 Jul 20, 2010 at 2:19 pm
u dumb
victoriak68 Jul 20, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Resetting your device does NOT issue you a new pin. However, you don't need a new device to get a new pin. You have to call your wireless carrier to have a new pin issued. No different than calling your phone company to have your phone number changed.

Wrong again. Wow, you guys and your info.
daisydukesss Jul 21, 2010 at 12:11 pm
I find it very entertaining!
djake15 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:11 am
does that really happen?
resetting your phone and it generates a new pin?
dgriffin4400 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:16 am
No.
alakija Jul 20, 2010 at 10:12 am
@Scuebydue: LOL
Jay21fire Jul 20, 2010 at 10:14 am
Resetting your phone does not give you a new pin, pin numbers stay with the device
biggierob Jul 20, 2010 at 10:18 am
@Joerogan and @danawhite have done that. They have spoken about the requests they have gotten too.
elvin1983 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:28 am
@danawhite posted his work phone number the other day... Rogan did the same thing with his cell... WTF!
jabbs1 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:19 am
accidentally? so her fingers just typed randomly and it happened to be her PIN?
Adam Zeis Jul 20, 2010 at 10:26 am
Heard rumors that she was trying to tell someone how to show their pin typing "mypin" and accidentally sent out her own PIN.
jabbs1 Jul 20, 2010 at 2:26 pm
oh i see. lmao that's too funny
nicsmomma07 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:24 am
"Accidentally"? More like she needed to do something to give herself some publicity...
cribble2k Jul 20, 2010 at 10:24 am
I'd hit it.
Pathtek4 Jul 20, 2010 at 11:33 am
Yeah, I'd hit it, with a baseball bat
BeansBerry Jul 20, 2010 at 11:50 am
I'm with you cribble! Lol
Rapid Dr3am Jul 21, 2010 at 6:00 am
I'd hit it...with 10 crowbars!
daisydukesss Jul 21, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Haha you guys are funny
makki403 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:26 am
in her defence, she might not want the millions bbm followers... but how do you "accidentally" post her pin?
NinjaRAT Jul 20, 2010 at 10:30 am
Stupid is as stupid does
parabola Jul 20, 2010 at 10:31 am
Is "mypin" part of autotext? I've used it for so many years I forget if I manually entered it. She may have typed "mypin" without a space and it resolved into her device PIN.
webmastir Jul 20, 2010 at 11:14 am
yes it is part of autotext. go in there & look..
JIVE8900 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:38 am
You can just back up then reset your phone and you will
have a new PIN. It's annoying but I've had to do it a couple
times and request all my BBM contacts again.
Dwl hahaha!!!!!!!
jlb21 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:57 am
Notice the header here folks: "Joke of the day"
jlb21 Jul 20, 2010 at 10:56 am
Getting past her boobs, which is no easy feat, this does raise an issue.
I am considering changing or deleting the autotext entry on my BB. I might delete it altogether, or just make it a longer string that I am less likely to accidentally enter.
Can we protect individual contact entries? If so, then I could put my pin into contact.....
jfarling Jul 20, 2010 at 11:08 am
How do you "accidentally" post your PIN?
People should be fined for being stupid.......
jlb21 Jul 20, 2010 at 11:11 am
Jfarling......
It really is in fact easy to do it accidentally. If she was writing a tweet and intended on saying something like, "Hey all, I will only give My Pin to those who......" and instead types "Hey all, I will only give MyPin to those who...." she will in fact send out her PIN on twitter as "Mypin" will auto translate to the actual pin number because of Auto Text having an entry for doing just this.
jfarling Jul 20, 2010 at 11:17 am
Mine does that in txt messages, not in other apps. Didnt think it was possible....but oh well.
jlb21 Jul 20, 2010 at 11:20 am
Interesting, I thought it would do it on almost any app. I know on mine it will do it in memo, ubertwitter, tasks, calendar, etc.......
JasW Jul 20, 2010 at 11:57 am
on Twitter for BB.
latinlegacy Jul 20, 2010 at 11:14 am
i got her pin lol funny ass grl
bessemercityburgess Jul 20, 2010 at 11:25 am
When I actually watched tmz yesterday they said she got a new phone they never said anything about her pin resetting I dvr it everyday.
jlb21 Jul 20, 2010 at 11:38 am
I smell a ban/lock
CeluGeek Jul 20, 2010 at 11:39 am
I wonder if her new phone is a BlackBerry or if she moved on to something else.
bessemercityburgess Jul 20, 2010 at 12:07 pm
That's a good ? Probably who ever paid here more to flash there phone around on tv. I'd imagine she stayed with as of now though
BChydro86 Jul 20, 2010 at 12:05 pm
who cares? shes not talented and shes not cute.
shes not even famous.
GG1 Jul 20, 2010 at 12:07 pm
really don't care about her pin or what phone she has.
bessemercityburgess Jul 20, 2010 at 12:10 pm
True she is lame but apparently her name did get our attention enough to read this lol Jwow on the other hand I would
g_sho Jul 20, 2010 at 2:39 pm
c'mon...first a stupid TV show about brainless partiers in Jersey, then an obvious boob job, now "accidentally" posting her pin? Attention hound!!! She's just pissed that Lindsay Lohan is on CNN about to get thrown in jail.
kwik Jul 20, 2010 at 12:28 pm
She, and that whole cast, are disgusting...
mattpowell19 Jul 20, 2010 at 12:40 pm
It's Jersey Shore....Does anyone even care?!
ranger_gm Jul 20, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Everyone on jersey shore are bunch of losers.
nicsmomma07 Jul 20, 2010 at 12:58 pm
not decsiion
Pi Guy 3.14 Jul 20, 2010 at 1:16 pm
nasty ho....
bigREDrocks Jul 20, 2010 at 1:54 pm
if she got a new device, i still don't understand why my PIN messages to that PIN are delivering... that phone must be active somehow.. send a PIN message to 30F4FAA5 (snooki's PIN that she posted on Twitter) and it will deliver... WEIRD. maybe she didn't get a new device, maybe she kept the old one and just said she got a new one..?
emrcan Jul 20, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Pin address what this friend?

rewNATION Jul 20, 2010 at 2:53 pm
that girl is a moron first of all, and second, who likes watching a bunch of degenerate italians make fools of themselves?
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Jul 20, 2010 at 3:07 pm
add anti-virus to your phone if you add her cause u know shes infected with something
khager Jul 20, 2010 at 5:20 pm
ahahahahahahahahaha :)
Frank2029 Jul 20, 2010 at 4:01 pm
she's ugly
amazinglygraceless Jul 20, 2010 at 4:24 pm
Even if it is somewhat BlackBerry related, it must be an exceedingly
slow news day for this shallow, self-absorbed cow to land on the blog page.
Butterfly2 Jul 20, 2010 at 4:54 pm
she was having a d'ooooh moment!! Maybe the air in them tings went to her head!! and no wiping ur bb does not give u a new PIN!!! u have to change the device in order to obtain a new PIN....
alex03gsr Jul 20, 2010 at 5:22 pm
i think shes badass so wat her pin?
nolan.b Jul 21, 2010 at 3:17 am
I'd pin her too.
daisydukesss Jul 21, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I never knew it was under my autotext. And I've had a BB for like 5 years. Thanks CB nation!
mmacina Dec 1, 2010 at 1:33 am
I think it’s funny that people on here have nothing nice to say about Snooki. If you don’t care, then why are you commenting? Obviously you are all bored with your lives and care enough to know what she does w. her pin, whether it be accidental or not. Oh and P.S. she is NOT fat at all, it’s called not being a 00 and only eating one carrot a day then throwing it up b.c it’s too many calories. Get a life and grow up. Kthxx ;)
