MTV confirmed yesterday that Season 4 of Jersey Shore is not only a go for later this year, but will be filmed on location in the motherland – Italy.
A major Italian-American organization is very pissed off about this.
Unleashing Jersey Shore upon the old country will only serve to make locals look like “buffoons and bimbos,” according to a rep for UNICO.
The group is furious with MTV’s decision to film there, saying, “People used to go to the circus to see the freak show – that is what this will be.”
The rep adds, “It will not only hurt Italians but all Americans. Their outrageous, reprehensible behavior will make us look like buffoons and bimbos.”
UNICO was the first group to call for a boycott of the show, calling it a “denigration” of Italian-Americans. Clearly they weren’t successful.
Look at the bright side, guys:
- Most of these posers aren’t even real Italians. Vinny, yes. Snooki, hells no.
- Maybe Italy will “detain” them on immigration violations … indefinitely.
