MTV’S “JERSEY SHORE” SEEMS LIKE A SPIN-OFF OF “GROWING UP GOTTI”

We needed something to fill the gap when “Growing Up Gotti” went off the air and now we have it: “Jersey Shore.” MTV put eight twentysomething Italians (four guys and four girls) from the New York area into a summer share at the Jersey shore, equipped with a hot tub and other amenities. It’s walking distance from the beach and bars, so these self-described “guidos” and “guidettes” just party all the time. One of the guys, Pauly D, even LOOKS like a Gotti with his gelled hair, fake tan, and gold jewelry. Like “Growing Up Gotti,” this show also has subtitles because there’s a lot of sloppy diction, but it’s fun to see how this subculture carries on.

  1. The following is admittedly a gross statement: If a sample were ever taken from them and put in a petri dish……wow, watch the germs and bacteria develop.

  2. It’ll be cancelled soon. All the sponsers are pulling out and the Italians are up in arms over this horrible show that shows Italians in sterotypical and horrible light.

    I watched a few minutes, which was hard to do, just to see what all the controvery was over, and agree this show should be canceled ASAP!! All these young people act like retarded whores!!

  3. Have all the writers left Hollywood permanently? All that ever seems to be on are these brain dead reality shows

  4. What is worse, the fact that this show perpetuates an awful ethnic stereo-type, or the fact that everyone one discusses it with says that it is a perfect example of how stereo-types have some, if not 100%, truth to them?

  5. I worked with trashy NJ folks like this 4 years of my life- I don’t want to revisit that time!

  6. This show is hideous and these people are on the low slope of the bell curve.

  7. Addressed to Kitty, What you say about me! You must be doing it yourself..Smoking crack..Your talking about yourself..Hello Hells kitchen..I am getting every one attention except yours..Kitty go to Hell! says:

    Even though,I am black and it seems like white people are darker then me and that is the reason this show really turns me off.

    I DO GET TAN BUT THERE ARE WHITE PEOPLE THAT GO AND GET TAN ALL YEAR AROUND AND THEN THEY PASS ME UP IN COLOR.

    THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT GO TO A TANNING SALON BUT WHY SHOULD I DO THAT..I AM BLACK AND IT WOULD LOOK STUPID FOR ME TO GO..

    I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW…BECAUSE I DON’T THINK I CAN STAND IT.
