The cast of 'Jersey Shore' isn't terribly popular with some Italian-Americans, who feel that JWoww, The Situation, Snooki and the crew represent some ugly stereotypes. The show is now filming in Florence, Italy, and 'Today' found a lot of Italian-Italians aren't so hot on 'Jersey Shore' either. They asked some people in the street their opinions and spoke with the mayor of Florence, who had trouble understanding what a "Snooki" was."They are full of tattoo, they get drunk," one woman in the street said. "I think they are stupid." Another woman said that Italians are not like the 'Jersey Shore' cast does on television.
The mayor of Florence thought perhaps the arts could save The Situation on the rest of the 'Jersey Shore' crew. Save them for what, in particular? He didn't say.

If you are a fan of this ridiculous program, you should be taken out and sterilized.
No one with a brain believes that these are typical Italians or typical New Jerseyans.

looks like a typical guinea to me
A real friend of mine from Jersey dropped her cellphone in a toilet while fistpumping in a bathroom. Nuff' said. I think it's pretty typical of the state
Florence, Italy will need to be disinfected after these losers leave. What a disgrace to their beautiful country. The cast members belong in a third world nation. I hope the Italians beat the crap out of them and they dont return to the USA. We have enough skank here.

"Italian-Italians"? Is that supposed to be funny?

Well there goes the neighborhood, they will ruin Italy.
After all they polluted the jersey shores just like all of
the other garbage reality shows that take place in the
garden state.

Like many others--I don't understand why the girls on Jersey Shore are all fat and/or sloppy.

Hey, I'll take the Jersey Shore kids if you take Flava Flav. Yea I didn't think so.

While Flava Flav was a true buffoon on the shows he was a part of, he at least had a career before going to Flava of Love. The Jersey Shore no talents need to truly go away.
These morons make me ashamed to be an American of Italian ancestry.

This post is from "The Editors of TV Squad"? They need an editor themselves. Please, what does this quotation from their post mean: "Another woman said that Italians are not like the 'Jersey Shore' cast does on television."? Pathetic.

I thought the same thing when I read that sentence. Apparently "The Editors of TV Squad" are a bunch of high school dropouts.
NOT THESE IDIOTS AGAIN!!!!

Florence Italy is not the place for these mental midgets. They belong in Howard Beach or Bensonhurst.
