MTV’s “Jersey Shore” Reality Show: Unbelievably. Heinous. (Can’t Miss) Television.
Lordy, Lordy, hasn’t New Jersey suffered enough on television lately? First, “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” and then MTV’s “True Life: I’m A Jersey Shore Girl.” Is a new MTV reality show called “Jersey Shore” about a bunch of trashy kids who live in a shore house really necessary? I’m totally OD-ing on fake-baking, French manicures and hair gel and it almost makes me miss “The Hills” kids. Almost.

I lived in Jersey for a couple of summers (CAMP COUNSELOR, NOT SHORE GIRL, fyi) but I was always really fascinated by the participants of “trash culture.” Getting tan, getting fake nails, getting trashed, getting laid, and doing it all over the next day. So, because I’m perversely curious - and I LOVED the True Life episode - I’m definitely going to watch this.

This why those of us from South Jersey refuse to journey north of Rutgers. Complete culture shock.

It’s so funny, I’m from North Jersey and we always said the same thing about never traveling south of Newark…it’s like a different continent in the south. I always find that if you want trashy, you’ll find trashy, no matter where you are. God help me if I stay in this state to raise my children, they will not turn out like those on this MTV show.

First frame of the video looks like Wildwood, could be Keansburg.

@bumbler: I don’t have to venture north of Atlantic County, they all come down here in the summer.
And I’m guessing the people in that ad are most likely from Staten Island (it’s sad, but from working at a hotel I can pinpoint where most people that come to Jersey Shore are from.)

I live in North Jersey but I went to Rutgers and I loves me some Wildwood. That’s some pretty fair state repping. I do enjoy Sawmill pizza and grabbing a midday bev at Jenks but good god the guidos. I dated (am dating? TBD) a Wildwood lifeguard (justified by the fact that he’s a teacher in DE on the offseason) who’s friend was auditioning for this show. His name is Rocko (no, really) but he won’t be in the cast. Dang. Sadly- I will probably have to check this show out.

This just pisses me off to no end. As some of you have said these kids and the ones they showed on previous True Life episodes are TRANSPLANTS!!! They are from somewhere in New York or there parents were. None of us real New Jersey people sound like this.
SERIOUSLY! REALLY!
BENNYS GO HOME ! =]
Why does TV want to give us a bad name?

this show is complete #&@$% !! no one who actually lives at the “jersey shore” acts the way the dumb asses do on mtvs new show. no one fists pumps, no one likes your ugly orange tans, or your spikey gelled hair, who the hell cares who invents the “poof” , and the guys should really start using deoderant cuz there sweat stains are discusting. if mtv wants to make a show about the “jersey shore” thats fine ; but try actually casting people who live here not people vacation here aka bennies. im born and raised in bayville (about 10mins from seaside.), nj.. and iv never seen anyone act the way these fools do , it is givin us real jersey shore girls a bad name cuz the ones who actually do live here arent the way that were portrayed on this rediculous show.

The show is supposed to be outrageous, I think everyone knows that these are not “real” jersey shore kids. Im from california and spent every summer visiting my family in Pt Pleasant and it is hilarious to walk the boardwalk and see these people…. The “bennies” man oh man do my cousins despise them!
I wish that we could take those kids and transport them anywhere else in the US - that way they could not be surrounded by other guidos and they could see how ridiculous they are.. but next summer when Im in jersey Im totally going to seaside heights just for the laughs !!

I grew up in NJ. I was probably the only non-Italian in my graduating class! LOL. But hey, now I appreciate that Jersey has flavor compared to most of the US. Nothing bland or boring about it. And at least we know what real pizza is!
The boardwalk does seem to attract a certain guido/guidette type. But let’s be fair, alot of them also come from Staten Island NY.

who freaking cares where the hell they actually come from…this show is amazing and so entertaining..and to be fair anyone that actually watches the show realizes these kids aren’t actually from jersey shore, it was stated in the very beginning where they all hail from and besides no one is gonna rent a beach house in the same neighborhood you live in, what would be the point?

My boyfriend and I live with two of our friends. One of them just turned us onto this mess last night. We laid there with mouths agape, in utter horror.
“If you don’t love The Situation, I’ma make you love The Situation.” REALLY?
And my personal favorite.
“I just think sluts need to be abused.” uttered by the girl who was slutting around all episode.

ok listen up all people south of the driscoll bridge. If it wasnt for all the bennys your real estate value would still be worth about $100 bucks. North jersey and all of new york is the only reason why the jersey shore exists. Go take a look at who owns 90% of it north of the bridge. ever visit the pines man i though i was in a deliverence movie set. can beer at a bar, 8 people make up 1 full set of teeth and a double wide trailer is living on the high life!!!!
