The Italian, whatever, national, whatever their organization is, they don’t understand that ‘guidos’ and ‘guidettes’ are good-looking people that, you know, like to make a scene and be center of attention and just take care of themselves. hey are old-fashioned. They don’t know that; they think it’s offensive, because maybe in their time it was offensive, but now it’s kind of a compliment. So they don’t understand that and that is what we are trying to say. They are way overreacting to the show. We’re 22 to 29 just having fun at the shore. They are just taking it way out of proportion.

YOU MEAN THE NATIONAL ITALIAN AMERICAN FOUNDATION SNOOKI, YOU FUCKING DUMB PIECE OF SHIT.
As a first generation New Jersey-bred Italian-American, I loathe how the show uses a sad, white trash stereotype from 1991 as the DNA of it’s “characters.”
Don’t even get me started.
