On the premiere episode of MTV’s Jersey Shore, Poughkeepsie, NY native Nicole, aka Snooki, aka Snickers, laments her inability to find love. Sniffling and pouting, Nicole—who resembles nothing so much as a bikini-wearing basketball with a bay horse’s mane—describes some of the qualities she hopes to find in a mate: “My ideal man,” she says, “would be Italian, dark, muscles, juicehead, guido.”
Welcome to New Jersey.
Well, welcome to Jersey Shore: a show that has already sparked the ire of the National Italian American Foundation and the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau; a show that has already lost the backing of one prominent advertiser (Domino’s) due to its controversial content; a show that features eight tanned, taut, sex-focused, alcohol-fueled young men and women sharing a house in New Jersey’s Seaside Heights during the summer of 2009. These are young men and women for whom terms like “guido” and “juicehead” are not slurs or pejoratives, but points of pride; young men and women who wear too much hair product and too little clothing, who get into fistfights in neon-lit clubs, who groom their bodies to a Ken-doll sheen, who speak in concrete-thick accents, in language barbed with profanity, rich with flavor.
