Jersey Shore takes it to the Homeland

Yes. That's Bar Refaeli eating Situation's Italian sub.

MTV – Yes yesss y’all — the rumors on TMZ are true. “Jersey Shore” will be shooting its fourth season in ITALY! According to an official hot-off-the-press release from our employer, the entire cast and crew of MTV’s wildly popular hit show will be trading in their shot-filled road trips to Seaside Heights for a sure-to-be mini-bottle laden plane ride to their homeland.

...The show is slated to film in Spring of 2011 and air later on this year.

Alright, ok, I get it.  They've done Jersey twice and Miami once and need a new locale to justify bringing this cast back for another season.  There's only so much stawkinmylifeonda Bowdwalk and Ronnie/Sammie squabble storylines the audeince can handle in Jersey.  Time to graduate to the big time.  Take it international.  And while you won't see it on the show, I don't think, the cast is going to get some serious shit for being such tools and bringing shame to Italian-Americans.  Other than an Italian flag tat, working at a gelato shop, and having a last name ending in a vowel, these kids don't seem to have much Italian in 'em (other than a Sunday family dinner, which is almost assuredly required as part of thier contracts) and are gonna be in for a serious cultural awakening.  Can't wait for them to try to stumble through Rome drunk and talk to locals in broken italian while butchering the names of national monuments.  Like Fill-et Mignin.

I'm not the biggest Jersey Shore fanatic you'll meet but I do watch.  I don't really discuss it with anyone though because I'm a grown man out of college and frankly it's embarrassing.  I watched a new episode last week in LA and I had to do everything in my power not to correct people when talking about the show.  Like "Oh, so Vinny is the one dating ShamWow right?" Or, "I know what D and T mean, but what is the F. Is it fight?" Uggghhhh. COME ON.  This shit is a cultural phenomenon. DTF, GTL, grenade. Remember when Bootylicious and D'oh were added to the dictionary? Well I do!  And that's where all this Jersey Shore vocab is headed.
