When Jersey Shore star Jenni “JWoww” Farley found out she was going to be on the cover of Maxim for their January 2012 issue she was overjoyed. “I cried when I found out,” she says in an interview. “I was jumping up and down and totally bugging out. This is probably my highest accomplishment.”

Let me be the first to say that I’m a big JWoww fan. As a matter of fact, I have admitted to my self-destructive admiration of her on many occasions, including my Ron Swanson/Tammy 2 post earlier today.

So what do you think? Do you like the Maxim photos?
