This Exists: “Jesus Shore” Concert To Counter The Evil MTV Hit Jersey Shore

Apparently making lame puns off of the names of popular TV shows is no longer the sole domain of porn producers and Mad Magazine writers, as some church groups have gotten into the game too. Unhappy with the way the Garden State is portrayed in the hit MTV show Jersey Shore, a group of Jersey faithful have created “Jesus Shore,” a Christian themed concert which attempted to show another side of the debauched beach. “Jesus Shore” tried to save fans of the reality series from the fiery pits of Hell where, we can only presume, they were headed to get a sweet tan.

The free concert, which was created by the groups Abundant Grace Church and Move The Earth of Toms River, featured a Christian rapper as well as “a Christian tattoo contest.” While their hearts were in the right place, My Fox New York pointed out that their attendance was only a fraction of the massive crowds that were showing up just to be in background of shots that the MTV show was filming down the beach. This leads to perhaps the most depressing juxtaposition of shots ever in the video report below. Oh well, all the more Heaven for them, right?

Jersey Shore just premiered its second season and is now filming its third which has already featured one arrest. Having already offended Italian activist groups last year with its wanton use of the word “guido,” the fact that the show has now annoyed religious groups as well is all it needed to be added to the pantheon of classic MTV programming.

Jersey Shore, Jesus, MTV, New Jersey

It would be nice if most religious groups spent their resources actually trying to help people, rather than telling us how we’re all wrong and should think like them.

That said, I’ve never even bothered to glance at Jersey Shore, and I’m probably not alone. What an insignificant thing to waste your time on, uh, churches.

Christianity has withstood much and endured. I think it will even withstand “Jesus Shore”.

Does the author think Jersey shore is popular because the viewers want to emulate the actors? Everyone I’ve asked said it is amusing to watch the train wreck. Kind of like why I read this website.

That aside, I never understood why the idea of suggesting a better way of life is so offensive to those (leftists) who presume to dictate how others should live their lives. I’d rather elect a preacher, than a dictator, for that reason.

Indeed. Or, why the fascination with the Drop Out Governor and her goofy family.

If you elect them, by definition, they’re not a dictator.

Oh right, that doesn’t follow the fantastic narrative of Glenn Beck. Czars! Hitler! Taxes (which are lower, but please, save the rich)!

So Hitler was not a dictator, nor Saddam Hussein?

They manipulated the democratic process, and proceeded to famously destroy it afterwards (dictators do that).

If you’re going to forward an argument while calling into question the intelligence of another, at least take the time to give your statements some thought first.

Spray-tanned imbeciles and/or sanctimonious bible-thumpers… hmmmm. Throw in a crowd of Mediaite commenters and you’ve pretty much got a textbook definition of hell.

While I support the spirit of your post, using an awkward brush to broadly malign the opinions of others isn’t helping.

Take your own advice, I was not the ignoramus who said “If you elect them, by definition, they’re not a dictator. ”

You did and you were wrong.

And I left out another person who was elected by the people who is a dictator:Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

LMAO

If the democratic process has been tamprered with, it no longer has any integrity. It’s no longer democratic. This is history, it happened, we are not discussing hypotheticals.

The election of Obama may irk you. But it was legal and occurred without organized violence or the threat of violence against others. Furthermore, he hasn’t even come close to exercising a dictatorship. He has practically bent over backwards time and again for Republicans that refuse to be bipartisan.

But I know. He must be a dictator, because he’s black and was born in Kenya or something.

You don’t understand what the term “racist” means.

Anyways, my comment was an attempt at levity using the running theme the opposition uses at the basest level when refuting the legitimacy oh why the hell am I bothering

People should be more offended with the Housewives of New Jersey aired on Bravo and their classless behavior and CONSTANT wearing of fur.

What ever happen to NOT wearing fur? Animals bred in small cages only to be skinned alive so some white trash b’tch can wear them as garments.

Disgusting.

Bravo, Christian rappers! Your howling is the greatest triumph for this religion since Genesis.

Careful, amigos: Adolf the Nazirene was Catholic, a Catlick who used this religious franchise for inducing Antisemitism.
