I haven't seen the show yet, but from what I hear it's funny. Not funny in a "haha" sort of way, but funny in a "Oh My God how can they be so awful" way. Kind of like a train wreck, you just can't look away... This is pretty much the concept reality TV is based on, and why it's done so good in the past few years.

The problem starts when people watch this and think that it's truth. Do people watch Steven Segal movies and think all cops are like that? I hope not, but some I'm sure do. I think what happens is that this is a "reality show", so people imagine it to be truth... when it couldn't be further from it!

Thank you! Just Friday night, I was ranting about this, and saying it would be my next post here. There are already enough misconceptions about New Jersey in people's minds; MTV doesn't need to add more. And when, in the first episode highlights, one of those over-tanned idiots said something to the effect of 'this is what being Italian is all about', I literally yelled at my screen, "No it isn't!!!"
