‘Jersey Shore’ cast to N.J. governor: Lighten up!

Discuss this post

a few key points regarding this statement:

1) jury is still out on christie, but he is right to not be a fan as that would clearly define him as a fool

2) the cast isn't from jersey, let alone the jersey shore area

3) the people in seaside this time of year, for the most part, aren't from jersey either and make seaside/ortley/normandy/lavallette/pt pleasant essentially uninhabitable for "normal" people. it's like having an vermine infestation, but at least they spend their $$$ there

And several of the cast members aren't even Italian either.

    These would probably be good points if the show was called "Italian Kids from the Jersey Shore", but it's not. The show was titled "Jersey Shore", because it began as a reality show about a group of outrageous kids spending a summer vacation together in a house located at the Jersey Shore. That means they could be of any heritage, and their permanent place of residence could be anywhere. I guess you'll have to stick to hating them for various other reasons....

    based on your logic, em, the show should just be called "a$$holz at the beach"

    Considering Christie cut the tourism marketing budget, we'll all have to contend with the outside world thinking that everyone in NJ is loud, obnoxious, big haired, "italian"-American morons.

    Just look at the list of shows on the air and you'll see why so many Garden Staters are so annoyed:

    Jersey Shore
    Real housewives of NJ
    Jerseylicious
    Cake Boss

    And then there was The Sopranos.

    When we were visiting China last year. A few of the people on our tour asked if NJ had a lot of mobsters...REALLY?!?!?! Someone actually had the gall to tell my husband he didn't look like he was from NJ....

    So to Snooki and the rest of the trash on TV "representing" NJ I say: No honey, not everyone is glad you're here.

    The cast is so clueless about everything! I've never had any interest in this show...and I'm Italian!

      That's definitely an option that would fit their description....

        Snooki smiled and said she bought a 2011 BMW (though, since she doesn’t know how to operate a manual transmission, the car is relegated to gleaming in the driveway).

        She bought a car that she can't even drive and just has it sitting in the driveway for no purpose? Wow, she's dumber than I thought!

        In a year she will be living in it. Or "working" out of it. A bunch of losers get this much press? Somethings wrong here.

        Here's a crazy idea....if the show is going to be called "jersey shore", why not actually cast people from the numerous jersey shores?! Just an idea, ya know?!

                    Whoever told her that everyone loves the show was fulled her a bunch of lies. They are nothing but over-tanned, over-gelled, UNDER-educated morons. When will tv producers stop putting people on television who only get drunk, naked, and have sex? We get enough of that from scripted television as it is. We don't need more shows portraying "real" people. No wonder other countries think Americans are stupid; look at what we show them. I feel really sad that these trashy people are representations of people my age. I may not have all the money or all the sponsorships from companies, but I would never trade in my self-respect, dignity and class for a BMW that I don't even know how to drive. Why are we continuing to reward people for stupidity, when we can put real life heroes or people that inspire positive changes in culture, society, or their environment. People need to remember that the younger ones that watch this show are the ones who will be taking care of use in the future. Do you really want someone taking care of you only after they created the perfect poof in their hair or did 15,000 situps?

                      Speaking as someone that lives in a very tourist-infested Jersey shore town 365 days a year, I can definitely say that these types of people are not welcome here. Maybe they should make a show in New York---since the bulk of them are from that state, and only one is actually from New Jersey. Keep this trash and the abundance of camera crews out of our nice and quiet shore towns!

                      The appearance of the kids on The Today Show this morning was an opportunity for me to change the channel and watch another morning show. So I did.

                        I grew up in central Jersey, not North Jersey or South, and I grew up very close to Seaside and I have to say as much as we hate the typical NY'ers and North jersey guidos that come down to raid our beaches I do love the show...You have to admit it is hilarious!! The cast are the ones who have the last laugh with the amount of money they're making for simply partying all summer...the American dream right there

                          What the hell is the Today Show's love affair with Jersey Shore? Will Matt start wearing tight-fitting wife beaters and tanning more? Will Meredith get the "Snookie look"? Will I change channels?

                          Yes.

                          Who in their right mind thinks "Snooki" is attractive?  This excuse for a woman is ugly, self-centered and sickening.  The whole cast is ridiculous but she is unappealing.  I can't wait until the next video comes out of someone decking her.

                              Why don't they call this "Staten Island Shore" instead of attributing these idiots to New Jersey?

                                  This show is funny as hell. I'm from Staten Island and we went down to the shore every year. The show is funny because it's over the top.

                                    somebody needs to tell these people to go away and that no not everybody likes them, I've never watched the show but from what I read about them they give New Jersey and Italian-Americans a bad name. All they care about is money, partying, and getting attention ( ex.- the situation and his abs, please give me a break, who cares).
