Fist pumping like champs

No one could predict that this would happen. Many people in the US protested it being aired, and continue to protest due to its inaccurate and distorted view of Italian Americans.

I'm talking about the fist pumping, hair gellin, juiced, tan, hair extensions, t-shirt selling cast of the MTV's Jersey Shore.

If you have not watched this show, you should. It can be found on MTV (the Canadian version) where you can watch it (for free). The reality show is similar to the Hills, Peak Season etc., but the characters are much more interesting (the first episode Angelina shows up with garbage bags as luggage.... lol.)

Anyways the show follows some young, Italian American, self-proclaimed Guidos and Guidettes, who are living in a Jersey Shore beach house for a summer. They work in a t-shirt making shop, and hit up the boardwalk and the bars pretty much every night.

I cannot describe to you the dancing, the accents, the hook-ups, the drama- you need to see it for yourself. This show is a phenomenon and the characters are everywhere.

Ah yes, the characters. There is Angelina, self-proclaimed Kim Kardashian of Staten Island, Jenni "JWowW" Farley, Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi (the tiny little firecracker), Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVechhio (who has the most ridiculous hair style ever), Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola (the sweetest bitch you will ever meet) and finally mama's boy Vinny Guadagnino.

I find this show fascinating- I find myself constantly saying "Are these people real? Like actual, real people!?". Most of my friends are hooked on it-constant facebook updates and inside jokes referring to shore.

If you need some seriously brainless tv to watch, plus something to make you laugh and make you shake your head, then Jersey Shore is highly recommended.

I would say more but don't want to give it away! And for those of you who have already seen it and love it: go ahead, watch it again- you know you want to !
