Jersey shore show drama


Jersey Shore is a reality show on MTV.It has created a lot of controversies for depicting Italian American in a negative way.The cast is mainly Italian American.I was just wondering,what is the problem is they are portraying themselves that way.It would be very bad if it was being acted by a different people.The most controversial thing is the MTV use of the term GUIDO'S or Guinettes which is perceived by Italian American as "pejorative word."

Another controversial thing about the show is from the local peoplee of Jersey shore where the show takes place.The locals feel like they show portrays the in a negative light.The cast are not residents of Jersey shore.




Also there was an incident where one of the female cast was punched in the face by a guy at a bar.The show is also accused of promoting tanning.

Some advertisers like Domino's pizza and America insurance pulled after the debut episode of the show.Domino representatives realized after watching the sh0w content wasn't in keeping with what they are all about.

Dell also pulled out their ad.
