I am so excited about this. They teased my once before the people at MTV I was promised a show about the Staten Islands folks after that riveting True Life. It never happened. This shit better go down #mtv
FWIW, Brooklyn was like this back in the 1980s. Then they all moved away. But I have memories. Like in Bensonhurst in the 1980s.
One thing a friend of mine liked to do was to drive down to 86th Street on a weekend night and drive around blasting Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Cure, The Police, etc... And man, did we get called "faggot" a lot... A few cans and pieces of garbage tossed at the car.
they should call this "North Jersey Shore" b/c seriously south of AC these people can not be found and give the our little shore towns a bad name... #mtv
@Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: I heart Stone Harbor, I vacationed there and Avalon my whole life! Seriously, I know there has been a lot of jokes at Wildwood's expense on here but their people look down right civilized compared to what’s going on with this show....I’ll take drunk Irish over obnoxious Italian any day- at least their looks natural #mtv
I can't believe they actually used the word guido in the promo. Italian-Americans are the last okay ethnic group to openly mock. Case in point: The Sopranos. #mtv
@yourfriendandneighbor: um no as a Pole we are not only openly mocked, we get late night jokes told about us all the time.
But if you read down you will see there is a big discussion going on about guido, and general consensus is, its a descriptive term of one group of people (who might not even be italian, there are plenty of non-italian guidos out there), not a slur against a entire race. #mtv
@yourfriendandneighbor: You can still call gay people all sorts of names in public and nothing bad happens--even though we're not an ethnic group. #mtv
I may rail on these dudes (yeah, trying to avoid the 'g' word) as much as I want, but they'll probably get laid more --during, before, and after this show --than I ever have, and will, in my lifetime.
In other thought -- would be great if Arthur Kade will make a 'guest' appearance on this show. #mtv

Ahhh, youth in Brooklyn in the 1980s!

With hair looking all gelled up and spiky
Your name is probably Joey or Mikey
Or Cousin Paulie or Anthony
(Though you pronounce it Ant + Knee.)
Everyone else calls you a guido,
but you think you're all pretty neat-o.
Your tan's slathered on, your T is too tiny
and for some strange reason your jeans are all shiny.
And by the way, nobody believes the jacket's Armani
It's made in a sweatshop by an Azerbaijani.
You keep protein powder over your fridges
and come Friday, cross Manhattan's tunnels and bridges
to hit the clubs and Gallagher's 2000
before returning to your house and
ordering up some eggplant parm
you're a simple guy, you mean no harm.
Catcalling to every girl within earshot
telling her what she needs is what you've got
She's getting away! There's no time to be subtle!
Better yet, you're on to the next before you hear her rebuttal.
You're oblivious to the city's despise
and second person plural is always "Youse guys".
Wow oh wow, your friend has on a nifty striped shirt
and if someone spills beer on it, they're gonna get hurt.
Hey look at that! A fancy gold chain!
Does the 7-pound cross cause you neck strain?
Does it remind you of Jesus' cross?
Was it a gift from a Mafia boss?
Come summer you'll be at the Jersey Shore
causing a ruckus with girls dressed as whor...nevermind.
But you just want to meet a nice gal
to make her your wife. You'll find her! You shall!
She'll have bangs so high and nails like talons
and she'll spend half your paycheck at the local salons.
She’ll send four kids down her birth canal
Before leaving you for your cousin Sal.
But tonight is for partying, hell yeah muthafuckas
and inspiring jealousy in the rest of us suckas. #mtv
