Who could blame people of Mediterranean heritage for being annoyed and disappointed.

It’s a damn shame that a culture that has offered up the world’s greatest cuisine, art, and music, is now represented by people who define the term “skank”.

“When I see this, I wonder whether Bin Laden had a point.”

It’s ironic, that a REAL Italian would say this.. and yet, none of the cast of the Jersey Shore would.. because it’s such a classless disgusting statement.

Keep it Classy Italy, you’re the best at looking down at people, while your president butt-****s 16-year olds.

great. i just watched a clip on Corriere… how humiliating.

Jersey Short has been on MTV for a while here, though, so people should already know it.

You watched “a clip”? Have you even seen the show?

It is a loathsome, vulgar show to be sure, and Americans ought to be enraged over its depiction of Americans.

I’m afraid “greatest cuisine, art, and music” may be a bit too tightly wound. I don’t particularly care for the style of Italian cooking, although some of the food is good. In music, the Italians have to share the spot light with the Austrians, British, Germans, Poles and Russians, for classical, and the Americans and British for other genres. American jazz owes an apology to no one. Art? To be sure, there was a period of Italian greatness.

But, the main point is that Americans should be angered about how we are depicted in this vile trash.

Yeah, it’s great to know that lGeraldo Ferraro braved sexism in order for our daughters to now watch ill-clad young women being affectionately called “slut” by their boy friends.

Yeah…yeah…, don’t fret too much…. After all, you’re only seconds from using these people as new fodder for insults to women who don’t share your political views.

All the Marys in Heaven, you’re as cranky as a Model “T” today.

Signing off for the day. Can’t deal with these krappy Nurse Jackie and Tara ads. I hope both shows get canceled.

You underestimate him.

He’s changing into Garth with one hand, while the other hand clutches a bowl of Cheerios.

I do think that Burlusconi’s bunga-bunga parties should deflect a lot of the Italian ire against the idiots on Jersey Shore. Just because a dude is rich and powerful doesn’t mean he’s classier than low-life skanks & guidos.

Still waiting for MTV’s show highlighting the narcissism and materialism of NY Jews.

Hey Real Royal King,

I usually don’t comment on Mediaite because of the ridiculous comments from you and others. Being 100% Italian, I’m not crazy about the Jersey Shore crowd. However, I’ve read many of your comments and I think your comments are more vile and disgusting than any manner in which Americans are depicted by these kids. You come across as a heartless, soul-free, lonely and narcisstic bastard and I firmly believe you are incapable of grownup conversation and intelligent discourse.

Having said that I’m compelled to say that I finally agree with you on something…the Nurse Jackie are really annoying.

I sent this again to correct a couple of errors in my first post.

So true the leader of their country has a sex life that would make the Situation blush and we get to hear Italians complain about the f’ing Jersey Shore haha what a joke those people are.

AS GOD AS MY WITNESS I WILL NOT REST UNTIL NURSE JACKIE AND THE UNITED STATES OF TARA CEASE TO EXIST!!!!! F YOUR POP UP ADS SHOWTIME F OFF!

I got no beef with The Jersey Shore, if you’re a good looking person what else are you supposed to do aside from drinking, fornicating, and making an ass of yourself in public? I’m a realist, The Jersey Shore behavior is no different than what we see on spring break, so what’s the problem? I’d rather put up with MTV’s party boys than with the Muslim radicals.

You’re the worst kind of American… the ignorant one.

As if the global view of America isn’t bad enough as it is, now whipped topping being added to this sundae is the perfect depiction of white trash and entitlement in America. Well done.

Jersey Shore is perhaps one of the most offensive shows ever put on TV. It actually glamorizes drunken brawling, mistreatment of women and a host of other things that are just not actually appropriate in civilized society. However, it is well within MTV’s First Amendment rights to produce and broadcast trash, which seems to be their mission. That said, when others react to it poorly, we have to accept that as a consequence of freedom. And, in the case of the Jersey Shore cast of reprobates, the freedom to be completely useless and offensive.

Another question for you: Have you actually read that link of yours? That is exploding in America? Really? A smattering of minor accommodations and a couple of serious issues like the court ruling? Hardly an explosion, given that Christmas is a national holiday that all must accept even if it is not our holiday and that most states have Kosher food inspectors even though that is a religious law.

Sara, how stupid do we look? Seriously.

The madness can end people!!
Just stop watching MTV.
Then the Snookie will go back to Dagobah where it belongs.

How much cost to get that 1 minute back?

I’d never seen Snookie but saw her depicted on South Park and thought the boys were going overboard. Then I saw Snookie and realized they weren’t.

The Italian people can take comfort in the fact that two of the leading ladies of “Jersey Shore” are not even Italian. “Snooki” is Chilean and was adopted by her Italian-American parents from an orphanage in Chile. Her best friend in the series, “J-Wow” has an Irish dad and a Spanish mom. Take heart, Italians and Italian-Americans!

OK morons, listen up!

GBR (whom the family lovingly refers to as “Goober-Brained Retard) put our son, BOMBSHELL JR. on a bus to Thule, Greenland. He told our boy there would be a kitten waiting for him when he got to Greenland, and you know how our son is ALWAYS asking everyone he meets to buy him a kitten.

Well, the kid is sort of dimwitted just like his ol’ man, and so I’m stepping in until we get him back to provide moral support for my ol’ man, and you’d danged well better NOT mess with me! Just know that I am GBR’s ol’ lady, and give me the respect I demand.

Lets get this straight, the northern half of Italy is vastly different than the southern half. The southern half is where all the italian american immigrants came from. The northern half is where all the industry is, the fashioin, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.
Guido’s come from the south. That is where this gang belongs. They will only embarass themselves in the more sophisticated north. And italians will not see these Jersy Shore folks as nothing but american, they will NOT identify them as Italian. EVER.
