\nThe Italians still hate Jersey Shore….<\/em><\/p>\n

An Italian-American anti-discrimination organization is livid that MTV’s controversial reality smash has been renewed for a second season. MTV recently confirmed that the reality show, which followed a group of self-professed “Guidos” and “Guidettes” as they spent the summer in the Garden State resort town of Seaside Heights – would return later this year in a new location.<\/p>\n

The National Italian American Foundation is among the groups hitting the roof over the announcement that Jersey Shore<\/em> will soon be back on the tube. The organization has issued a statement expressing “continued concerns”<\/em> about the program’s depictions of Italian-Americans in the media and argues that the reality soap makes it difficult for young Italians to be taken seriously in the workplace.<\/p>\n

“This program and its characters had more in common with the adolescent residents of Animal House than with Italian Americans,”<\/em> the organization wrote in a press statement issued Friday. The “outrageous behavior” on the show, says NIAF, which is “laden with promiscuity, debauchery, and violence,”<\/em> is “a disgrace.”<\/p>\n

Jersey Shore<\/em> debuted on the network last December. By the time the eighth and final episode of Season One aired last month, the show was drawing nearly 5 million, making it the highest-rated show in MTV history.<\/p>\n
