    Maybe they can try getting good looking chicks this time. All the dudes were ripped, but the chicks were fat and hideous.

    Get your act together, MTV, and be more like Telemundo.

    I thought Angelina was pretty good looking, JWOWW had a bangin body but her face isn't the greatest.

    Man, I thought I experienced all Jersey Shore had to offer but I never watched the reunion show until just now. EPIC.

    since this thread was bumped, anybody at the game last Tues vs. the Warriors?

    During one of the timeouts, instead of the "show your guns" timeout dance, they had the "fist pumping" dance cam.....

    i kid you not....

    i was rolling in my seat in laughter, not because of who was "fist pumping" on camera, but how up to date the Toyota Center was with pop culture...

    Some nightclub ad. If you look closely, it says:

    No Affliction
    No Ed Hardy
    No Christian Audigier
    No Exceptions

    "DJ Pauly D" was supposed to be in Pittsburgh for a gig tonight but had to cancel due to poor weather. Hopefully, I'll find the strength to make it through the night without attempting to impale myself out of sheer disappointment.

    Wow. That's awesome.



    Whatever you think of these guys, they have two things going for them that women love. Confidence and huge glamor muscles. And you have to respect the time and effort involved in getting into that kind of shape.

    I'm thinking its the fame and the money, that these women (specifically women who love these guys) love.

    Probably the fame, but these guys havent really made much money. I mean, these guys are holding out so they could make 10,000 per episode next season. Thats still really not breaking the bank by any means. DJ Pauly D is probably raking it in the most because he went from being a local DJ to traveling the world DJing. His rates have gone up and he's gotten some great gigs. But yeah, the fact that they were on TV automatically gets them laid.

    Betting the Situation Will Not Get Lost in Translation

    By BRIAN STELTER
    Published: March 22, 2010


    THE Jersey Shore is about to be exported.

    MTV is taking its wintertime hit series, “Jersey Shore,” about a boozy, spray-tanned summer in Seaside Heights, N.J., and showing it in more than 30 countries starting this week.

    Most overseas viewers have probably never heard of going “down the shore” before, so the network is promoting the shore lifestyle — at least the lifestyle featured on the show, which stoked local anger over “guido” stereotypes — in a series of commercials called “Get Jersey Shored.”

    MTV executives say they believe the “Jersey Shore” narrative is universally appealing. One of the overseas print ads for the show sums it up bluntly: “Muscles + gel + tanning bed = sex.”

    With the campaign, MTV is testing whether “Jersey Shore” truly has global appeal. If it does, the show will be an even more lucrative franchise for the network’s parent, Viacom, which like other media companies is fighting to extend itself in foreign territories.

    Much of MTV’s content “has had to be recreated in other markets,” said Richard Greenfield, a media analyst for the investment brokerage BTIG. If the original “Jersey Shore” is successful with viewers nowhere near the Garden State, “there’s obviously a tremendous amount of money to be made,” he said.



    “Jersey Shore” had its premiere in the United States last December. The show “seems likely to be the consensus choice for most appalling show of 2009,” Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times wrote in a review. It gained a big following and reached a peak audience of 4.8 million for the finale in late January.

    Now the show will make its debut on MTV’s international channels. The network will also sell the show to third-party syndicators beginning next month.

    MTV had originally planned to take “Jersey Shore” overseas in the late spring or early summer, but it moved up the premiere dates to take advantage of the “positive buzz from the U.S.,” said Antonio Campo Dall’Orto, who manages Southern Europe for MTV Networks International.

    The commercials for MTV’s international channels nod to that American buzz, both positive and negative. “In the show that’s got America talking ...prepare to meet a whole new kind of crazy,” one 30-second spot says.

    Other spots purport to show how to “get tanned,” “get fist-pumping,” and “get juiced” by featuring actors of various ethnicities pumping iron and styling their hair. All are allusions to the grooming and partying rituals of the series’ young stars, but “get juiced” stands out because in America it is a well-known steroids reference. Sean Saylor, who is overseeing the marketing campaign for MTV Networks International, said that the slogan wasn’t meant to refer to steroids. Rather, “it’s more about working out,” he said.

    There are also global commercials showing a scrawny man and a bikini-clad woman inflating themselves like water toys, revealing muscles and abs that would make Mike Sorrentino, the best-known “Jersey Shore” star, proud.



    Mr. Sorrentino is better known as the Situation. The nickname, mocked by many in the United States, will be unchanged in Portugal, France, the Netherlands and some other markets served by MTV. Some names, it seems, defy translation.

    Mr. Dall’Orto said that the global advertising campaign “explores the lifestyle of the ‘Jersey Shore’ team — their habits, their attitudes.”

    “It’s about fun,” he said simply.

    Mr. Saylor said the “Get Jersey Shored” ads were produced once and then translated for different regions of the world. “We found universal ideas, universal truths, and did a campaign that fits with everyone,” he said.

    What MTV was trying to translate, really, is a way of life — what the Situation and the other characters call “G.T.L.,” or “gym, tan, laundry,” or as it will be known in Latin America, “gimnasio, bronceado, lavandería.”

    These days, the prerequisites for a global marketing campaign also include a Facebook fan page and a “tweet tracker” to highlight Twitter comments. To further build interest, MTV also booked cast member interviews with international media outlets.

    Compared to other MTV shows, Mr. Dall’Orto said, “Jersey Shore” is actually easier to promote overseas “because it has a more human element.”

    “Tila Tequila was much harder,” he said, referring to the dating shows starring a model.

    The Situation and the other “Jersey Shore” cast members have reportedly fled south to Miami Beach for a second season of taping this month. But Seaside Heights residents should still brace themselves.

    “I don’t have any doubt that more people outside the U.S. will be going to the Jersey Shore this summer,” Mr. Dall’Orto said.

    The Drinkery on Washington used to have "No Ed Hardy" on its marquee months ago.
