Jersey Shore casting call....

The phrase "Jersey Shore", much like NJ in general, is now a punchline.

The shore is the gem of our state, and it too has been brutalized and mocked, in untrue fashion no less.

The show never portrayed itself as anything but a group of kids in Seaside doing what many kids in Seaside often do during the summer. Of course this stuff doesn't go on in LBI, Spring Lake, Stone Harbor or Cape May - that's why the show wouldn't tape anything there! Everyone in America knows about the debauchery in Seaside from years of MTV Summer Share seasons and specials there. It's not like the whole notion of Seaside as a party town wasn't a well-known thing nationwide to begin with.

I highly doubt anyone thinks every town in New Jersey is like Seaside any more than people think every town in Florida is like Panama City during spring break. And if they do - who cares? Why is it so important that people in Peoria have a good opinion of Ocean County, NJ? Most of the folks on this forum don't even live at the Shore anyway, so what's the big deal?

New Jersey is always going to be a punchline as long as the two entrances to the state on either end look like crap with factories and smokestacks and we're on the verge on bankruptcy with the highest taxes in America while our politicians are going to jail for corruption. If you wanna live here, it's just something to deal with. I'd prefer to not worry about it. And I don't.

I'm pretty sure that the second season will have the same cast, but there are concerns over taping in Seaside since they are so recognizable and people might pick fights, etc. and not allow the camera crew to follow them around (which is the point of the show). What I assume will be the third season will be taping in Seaside this summer and featuring a new cast.

Actually, that is incorrect also; Snooki is Chilean and was adopted by Italian parents. She is not Italian by blood at all. Nor does she look it.

Mike & Sammi are actually both from Jersey. Sammi lives out in Hazlet and Mike (The Sitch) is from Manalapan. The entire show is a total fake though. I can tell from years of experience that the Shore Store isn't like how they showed it on the store, and the house they lived in was completely falling apart a month before they moved in. Unfortunately they'll be coming back in July for another season here in Seaside. One good thing is tons of "Fans" will be here in Seaside and then they can all see how bogus the show really is!
