Screenshot Pauly D + Show Spoiler [Full Clue] +There is a popular American Television Show called "Jersey Shore." Your task will be to take several screenshots of a character on this show named "Pauly D". All screenshots must be from actual episodes of the show -- they cannot be from promotional images. I removed this requirement. Image hunt away.
To add to the difficulty, I will not tell you where to find full episodes of this show.
Screenshot Pauly D:
1. At the beach
2. At the gym
3. Talking on the duck phone
4. Dancing with a girl
5. DJing at a club
6. In the hot tub
7. Tanning OR doing laundry
8. At work (selling shirts)
9. Eating
10. Kissing a girl
Once you have obtained all ten screenshots, write your username somewhere on each image, and post all of them in this thread. The first user who successfully posts these ten screenshots will receive a beta key.
Good luck!

TeamLiquid University is a private institution located in the United States. Until 2003, TeamLiquid was a single-sex institution whose students were all men. Since it began to admit women, TeamLiquid has hoped to enroll a class that is roughly equally divided between men and women. Given its reputation as a men's institution, however, it has found that goal hard to meet, because men continue to apply in much greater numbers than women. As of 2008, the entering class was still nearly 80,000/0 male. Accordingly, in 2008 TeamLiquid modified its admissions policy by setting aside one-third of the seats in the entering class for female students only. T. Dot Crazy, a man, applied to TeamLiquid and was rejected. He then brought suit against TeamLiquid in the United States District Court. His sole claim is that TeamLiquid's admissions policy violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. You are the district judge. Both parties stipulate to all the facts above and move for summary judgment. Decide the motions. 500 word limit on answer, fastest acceptable answer posted wins (judged by me).

A few tips!
All the clues will take more than just a few minutes to do, so try to read through all of them before deciding which one to try for. Most users will only be able to attempt one or two before all the others are gone, so be selective. It also might be wise to avoid the first few clues, as most users will be trying to do those.

This looks awesome, really hope I can get my hands on a betakey!

HOT BIDS IT'S 23 NOW BRA
Yummy hum i hope there are more r1ch type contest although i have very little chance of winning at those as there are easily more technical people who can get it i do have fun trying.
- Answer a clue correctly before anyone else and you win a SC2 Beta Key
although that makes me think other wise must be hard things like finding 3 wrist bands on the mole.
