Written by The new talk of the reality show world is MTV’s Jersey Shore, a show that follows self-described “guidos” or “guidettes” in their summer on the Jersey Shore. Think The Real World with only Italians.
Before I tell you why the countdown is on, let me first say I can’t stand this show. The people on the show ridiculous stereotypes of Italian-Americans. The guys are all muscleheads and the girls all have big boobs. They have no regard for anyone but themselves.
I’ve been to Italy twice, I’ve never once seen a person there act like these buffoons do. People don’t have orange skin. People don’t drink til they puke or fight every other person. The “Italian culture” you claim to be so proud of is nothing more than a made up fantasy world you live in.
Numerous groups have called for a boycott of the show and of its advertisers. The voices are getting so loud that Domino’s Pizza has dropped its sponsorship of the show earlier today. New York Post critic Lisa Stansi correctly states, “Would that programming ever have been allowed if the group were African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Jewish people?”
All this being said, I saw what could be described as one of the funniest things on TV. This is why the countdown has begun. On what could be called a season recap, I stumbled upon this little nugget of goodness. I can’t wait until the full episode airs so I can Tivo it forever.
I want to preface this by saying I never condone domestic violence. What Chris Brown did to Rihanna is horrible and disgusting. This isn’t domestic violence. This is a girl learning that she needs to keep her mouth shut and not talk sh!t to the wrong people, because there are guys that will hit you.
ENJOY!
Buona notte puttana!
