I know a lot of Italian-Americans and NJers are offended by the mere existence of this show. As someone who is part of both groups, I just sit back and laugh since I've seen and even met several people who would get along with the cast just fine*. Not to say those who speak out against the show are completely in the wrong; something showing a more positive portrayal of New Jersey would be nice.
*The fist-pumping, however, is new to me. Also, two people who used to live near me was featured in two episodes of this show. The one girl, nicknamed "The Grenade" was rowdier than I remember her being pre-JS, but her sister ("The Grenade Launcher") didn't change a bit.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — MTV's "Jersey Shore" will be back for a second season.
The network's president of programming Tony DiSanto said Friday that 12 new episodes will air this summer.
According to the network, Pauly D, Mike, Snooki, Jenni, Sammi, Ronnie and Vinny escape the cold northeast and find themselves in a new destination.
The show about tanned twenty-somethings hasn't been without controversy.
In December, the New Jersey Italian American Legislative Caucus called for MTV to cancel the show, saying it promotes derogatory ethnic stereotypes and is "wildly offensive."
MTV isn't revealing how much the cast members are being paid to do the show.

I guess right now, the cast is holding out for a ton of money. The ratings went through the roof and they want more dinero. Quite frankly, I'm surprised Mtv doesn't tell them to take a hike and put in a whole new crew who will be just as outlandish and hungry for the opportunity.
It's baaaaaaaaaaack!

Mtv got revenge on the cast. They brought back Angelina! The cab scene where the girls are just catty to each other is hilarious as the cameras then switch to the boys in the cab which is dead silent.:lol:
I chuckled when Snooki said she felt like a "Pilgrim from the 20's". Either she meant to say the 1620's or the NY public school system really is in bad shape .
I hate to admit it, but I was hooked. I'm not certain if it was the mindless bacchanalian behavior, but I think that had a large part to do with it. I also got a kick out muscle bound Ronnie knocking people out left and right.

Did you realize you are making them money, but they are not doing anything for your family.
Situational Ethics: Would you jump on the grenade? by Derek Parfit. Abstract: We can, I think, describe situations where we should hook up. But are there situations where it is impossible to say if we should hook up? My targets are two. First, he who wishes to hook up but is hindered by the third wheel. Second, he who wishes to hook up but can only do so with the third wheel. Some people say they are different, but they are not.
