Hey, pisons! How about you all give it up already?! It’s just a stoopid show!
The hate for the kids on MTV’s The Jersey Shore has reached a national level for Italian Americans. UNICO’s president Andre Dimino has spoken to the press and revealed that his people have consulted attorneys to see what legal action they can take against the MTV network for their portrayal of “young Italian Americans as booze-fueled hellraisers.”
Andre released a statement saying:
“We have consulted attorneys and are prepared to take legal action because we are so angry about the situation. I cannot say too much right now about the actual legal steps we are going to take but we feel what MTV are doing with Jersey Shore is outrageous. The use of words like ├óΓé¼╦£Guidos├óΓé¼Γäó and ├óΓé¼╦£Guidettes├óΓé¼Γäó is racial stereotyping in the worst possible sense and they are portraying young Italian Americans in the worst possible light. They would not try and get away with the same tactics if it was show full of young African American or Jewish kids so why is it acceptable to portray Italian Americans in this way? There are a lot of young American Italians who serve in the community and the armed services who are ashamed of Jersey Shore and we need to stand-up for them.├óΓé¼┬¥
Blah, blah,blah! Quit your whining!
First of all, as we have discovered, some of them aren’t even Italian! And secondly, no one takes any of these people seriously. They are acting out purely for the joy of reality television.
So lighten up! Save your money! Go have some ham!
