People like you hate this stuff because it chronicles the lives of people entirely different from you, the people you strive not to be because you wanna be unique and cool, etc. It's perfectly fine to watch anime and MTV (I assume you're one of those nerds who boycotts all things MTV because OHH NO MAINSTREAM SCARY PREP STUFF) at the same time; I sure as hell do it, my friends do it. Jersey Shore is a HILARIOUS show about goons having fun and should be taken as such. I feel sincerely bad for people who watch this show and genuinely aspire to be like any of them. Even my cousins, who are "GUIDOS" think these people are hilarious. It's equally ridiculous for Italians to find offense in the show.
Zeera: If you're looking for a show about New Jersey you should stay tuned to the Travel channel, and if you actually watched the show you'd see everyone's chubby except JWOWW.
