As the Jersey Shore cast gets ready to make their move to Italy, the show's past seasons have just started airing in the country, putting fear into the locals. Or is that hatred? A newspaper in Rome (via the NY Post) said the cast embodies "the worst stereotypes of Italians, multiplied by thousands and Americanized." Another paper there described them as having "slicked hair, exaggerated narcissism, and outlandish eccentricity."
A preview of the show posted on MTV Italia garnered some harsh comments (Italian internet commenters, they're just like American internet commenters!), such as, "When I see this, I wonder whether [Osama] Bin Laden had a point."
Hopefully Pauly D is up for a challenge... he thinks he's going to meet his future wife there (or as he put it, people have told him he should "go get somebody straight from Italy").
