If I were Italian and all I saw on TV were Jersey Shore assholes and ignorant thugs and mobsters, I'd be pissed as hell.

This show is the greatest thing on TV!! And i understand that people from Jersey and Italian-Americans are offended by it, but i look at the cast as a small sub-culture of that group. I'm not ignorant in thinking that every person from Jersey or Italians are ALL like this. Some people need to chill out...it's played up for TV.
Plus you can pretty much go to any night-club anywhere and run into these people. Even i've been looked at as the guido type, even though i'm not Italian, because i tan and work out. I just roll with it and laugh it off with a couple lines from the "new haircut" skit on youtube.

and to be fair not everyone in new orleans act like the people on true blood. Plus aren't the stereotypes more akin to staten island than jersey? But stereotypes are fun. You should have seen all the hilarious Mormon jokes in a thread about Utah a month or two ago. They have Oompa Loompas making chocolates on TLC

Did you like seeing her take a FALCON PAWWNCH? Seriously, I love watching The Soup, and this show is like non-stop cannon fodder for it. Two words: Barbecue Speedbag.

I find this show awesome. I don't watch "reality" TV that much, but this is awesome.

I honestly think that this is the worst show ever put on television.

I f***ing hate Jersey Shore, but everyone at work loves it.

I heard about the clip of the girl saying she went home for two reasons..."glass of water, and ham". Thank God most of the people on that show aren't actually from my state...and even if they are, it's Seaside Heights, they can have it.

I tried to watch the mini-marathon a few nights ago but I couldn't sit there and watch that many assholes existing at once. That's why The Soup is a god-send, they watch all the crappy TV so I don't have to!

Amazing. Not in a good way, of course. Seriously, is there anything from New Jersey that isn't a joke?

A part of me thinks that the success of these kinds of reality shows is based on the idea that watching people embarrass themselves on national television makes viewers feel better about themselves.
But when I think about a show like "The Real World", which started out as what seemed to be an earnest social experiment morph into a six-month spring break for young adults, I'm led to believe that attractive, emotionally challenged people produce better ratings than anything else reality television can put together.
