it actually hasn't been around long enough, but it is an interesting thought

I'd imagine they'd ride the guido train as long as they could

Anyone interested in Jersey Shore guido culture needs to read this classic Washington Post article from 2003:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...-2003Jul5.html

" SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. -- Guidos belong to summer, and summer belongs to the guidos.


Anthony Moussa, 24, who runs a Web site called NJGuido.com, comes alive during Memorial Day weekend, like a Roman statue freed from stone, beautiful. The summer months give shape and meaning to Moussa's life. This is when he parties hardest, staying up to see the dawn. This is when he comes to the Jersey Shore with his buddies and fixes his hair and hits the nightclubs and admires the girls, again and again tipping back the sweet, fruity shot he calls life.

This is when Anthony Moussa achieves the fullest expression of his guido self. This is when he becomes The Moo...."

sp - very much worth reading, thanks for posting!

lol. Way to not confirm the stereotype you are upset about...

The Situation did describe Snickers as "A miniature Chihuahua spray painted black"

Edit: 100 posts and no mention of Pauly D's Prince Albert wtf?

the detail bill simmons and his friend talk about Jersey Shore is absolutely amazing

I can't fathom the pain of such an act, so it's prob best not to talk about it

Why do neither of Snicker's parents have a thick guido accent while she does? I think she's faking.

Yeah this is correct. I have a pretty good ear for this since I live on LI and encounter many guidos in my day-to-day life. Her accent is what I like to call, "fat white girl who wants to sound black." It's distinctly different from a true guido accent.

omg this show is so awesome. i don't watch reality shows really but i'll be keeping up with this.

the unintentional comedy from the 1 liners is my fave part. "lose 5 or 10 lbs and we can talk"

so far the only douche is the situation. sammy pretty much owned him and exposed him for being a jealous crybaby.

This show unfarily portrays Italians. What MTV has done is found the worst 8 Italians they could to portray all Italians like that.

You could do the same thing with any race....for example...

I could find 8 of the dirtiest ghetto n_ggers in Los Angeles and call it California Shore. The show would be about eating watermelon and robbing people. LaTanya would say in episode 1 that she is going to the shore to meet a Tyrone n_gger mother f'er. See what I'm saying?

Or I could find 8 of the dirtiest west side cholo sp_c mexicans in Laredo and call it Texas shore. The show would be about eating tacos and running from the immigration police. Maria would say in episode 1 that she is going to the shore to meet a pedro taco eating wetb_ck.

This is why shows like this unfairly portray a certain race. 99.99999999999% of Italians are not like these douche bags in any way. Sure the show is funny and will likely be a hit, but they should have taken all the racial slurs and connotations out of it.

That's why dominoes pulled their commercials. Guido is not acceptable and if you dont believe me, call an Italian one at a club and see what happens.

Italians do not call each other Guidos and its not acceptable. Not all blacks call each other n_ggers...just the thugs and wannabe thugs do. You dont see black professors calling each other n_ggers or n_ggas or anything close.

Great show except they should have dont some editing.

Naggers?

Epic first post, but I am a little confused about what the point was. Thought you might be Italian and were trying to defend yourself but it seems like you just "wanted to let everyone know these shows unfairly portray people".

Duh, it isn't like somehow everyone in here thinks that every Italian is like this, we aren't 3rd graders so you don't have to patronize us.

Last, has there ever been a racist ban on someones very first post?

huh? i think that's called "intentional comedy"

yeah. Unintentional would be of course the "this job is beneath me...I'm a bartender, I do great things." This and just the general perception of everyone in the house that the show is anything other than a venue to laugh at their expense.

The quote from one of the ladies proclaiming herself to be "the Kim Kardashian of Staten Island" is multilevel unintentional comedy.

The girls aren't that hot but they make up for it in craziness.

Awesome show, first MTV show to hook me in forever.

Shut up guido.

By the way, on the show they call each other guidos. Are you saying that the producers encouraged them and that they don't do this normally? It seems as if there's a subset of Italians that do indeed call themselves and each other guidos.

Nobody knows about it, remember?

Get out of here you wap bitch.

you sad fcker lol 1:get a life 2:get a girlfriend 3:well you can work the rest out lolol

lol, don't h8 cause your annoying Mayweather threads sucked.

Glad you decided to E stalk me though, always in need of more fans.

I would watch both of these proposed shows.
