Miami Beach, Fla. -- Police in Florida said at least eight of the 45 giant pink snails in Miami Beach for an art event were targeted by vandals, including one thrown into the water.

Gloria Porcella, co-owner of Galleria Ca' d'Oro, which is backing Italy's Cracking Art Group in the project, which involved pink snails made from recycled plastic being placed around town, said nearly every day since the Art Basel festival began Dec. 2 has been marked with reports of more vandalized snails, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

Porcella said one snail was damaged by a "punch," two were tagged with graffiti, multiple snails were tipped over and one was "launched in the water" at Biscayne Bay.

Police said they are investigating the incidents.

Los Angeles -- MTV's reality hit, "Jersey Shore," drew a record number of viewers for the second episode of its second season with Snooki and the gang in Miami Beach.

The show had 6.7 million viewers at 10 p.m. Thursday, a high for the series, The Hollywood Reporter said. Among the important 18-49 year old demographic, it drew a 3.4 audience share.

Those would be respectable numbers for a broadcast show in that time slot. "Jersey Shore," in fact, had better demo numbers than its broadcast competition, "Private Practice" on ABC, "The Mentalist" on CBS and the NBC reality show "The Apprentice."

The show features eight people sharing a beach house. The first season was filmed on the Jersey Shore in Seaside Heights
