    Jersey Shore Investigation Has Nothing to Do with Violence, Steroids

    The first investigation into the show is about taxes. How boring! New Jersey State Senator Joseph Vitale doesn't like the way the show depicts Italian-Americans and launched an investigation into the show's wages and hiring practices. Leave Jersey Shore alone! More »
