Italian-Americans Ask For "Jersey Shore" To Be Cancelled

MTV, in their ever-strong efforts to be ahead of the curve, came up with a little piece of genius called “Jersey Shore” set to air Dec. 3rd. The show portrays Italian-American renters at a Jersey Shore beach house, and relies heavily on stereotypes.

FAIRFIELD, N.J. – A national Italian-American organization based in New Jersey says an MTV reality show that depicts Italian-American beachgoers as the “hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos” is offensive and should be scrapped before it airs.

UNICO National said Tuesday that “Jersey Shore” relies on crude stereotypes and highlights cursing, bad behavior and violence in depicting renters at a New Jersey beach house.

An MTV promo says the participants “keep their hair high, their muscles juiced and their fists pumping all summer long!”

I really really hope this show actually airs!
