    Only a guy who's never had a thinking girlfriend (or girl friend) would think a potential girlfriend saying, "No, go ahead and do what you want up here. I won't mind" is carte blanche to dive into a jacuzzi packed with almost naked girls he just met.
    But only a Guido would act outraged at the Hellfire Fury that results.

    All this time I thought this Guido Jersey Shore meme was some kind of urban legend.

    It's like finding out Unicorns really exist. I'm excited.

    There's no inner guido at the Jersey Shore. It's all outer guido.

    I'm thinking Cappello is not truly looking at the marketing potential here. On the off season he could have a Guidodacious Halloween Haunt! Just like at Great Adventure! I'm thinking random hair be-stiffened pikes of danger, mesmerizing 3D graphic t-shirts (That will steal your soul!), Zombie fist fights (to the death or drunken stupor!), demonic tanning machines, and a Gel-tastic slip-and-slide for the kids, and so, so, much more.

    This show actually made me consider getting some people together for a quick Jersey trip next spring/summer. It looks like it could be really a lot of fun! And there is nothing wrong with that!

    As someone who's never encountered a Guido in real life*, how does one safely chart the shoals of gay-bi-questioningdom in GuidoTown? The ferociously sculpted eyebrows, the manic primping and the gym-time extravagance are playing havoc with my Gaydar. And this is only from the stills.
    Or, is the only 'mo-ing they do self-directed, while gazing fondly (yet obliquely) at oneself in the mirror?

    * But I'm no Philistine: I have seen The Pope of Greenwich Village.

    @Trai_Dep: Gays and Guidos are like the Sharks and the Jets. Confusing them is impossible, mostly because any decent gay guy wouldn't have their awful hair.

    @Cunning_Linguist @ Muggs: adding to the confusion, Moylan's prose: I read his "sausage & peppers", above, as "sausage and poppers".

    I agree. Did anyone mention to Mr. Cappello that there's no such thing as bad press? Take it and run with it, broseph.

    brian, i think it's time to consider sponsoring a group trip down there in support of jersey tourism. but i'm thinking that most of the decent summer haunts featured are boarded up for winter.

    bookishlookish, can you confirm?

    Ok, I guess I totally hang out with the wrong crowd because, according to my fb news feed last night, the fanfare of the liveblog (that I missed, but still read through anyway) and the tweets of those I follow, EVERYONE and their mother was watching.

    @Conchie Birdie: Everyone at work watched it too (lab researchers) along with facebook friends, so that rating number seems way too low. However, MTV will be rerunning this show all the time (it's on now), so I imagine the ratings will pick up eventually.

    @Go Like Hell Machine: It's a drink Ronnie on the show made that is like fruit juice, vitamin water, ice, and some form of alcohol. Apparently it's a proprietary recipe, because the ingredients were kept secret.

    Oh Vinny, you're so real. You tell that girl how unnecessary her nickname is. She really is out of place. The nerve of her.

    I feel like the second time through, there are already so many details I missed the first time. MTV should just immediately release a 3-disc Criterion edition of this episode.
