The Jersey Shore is most certainly amusing and I really don't know why people are so offended. I am not Italian American and this show has absolutely NO AFFECT on how I view the Italian American community. I'd be surprised if there are many people out there who watch The Jersey Shore and think this is how all Italian Americans are like. Jersey Shore wouldn't be Jersey Shore if it wasn't for this colorful cast. No sane tv producer picks regular people to star in a reality show. I think people need to take it for what it is, entertainment. The Situation is an exceptionally dumb person and when you're this dumb, chances are you're gonna make money of off it. Anyway, I am looking forward to the new season and will have toilet paper ready when J Woww gets her freak on.
