Jersey Shore is another American reality television show that follows the lives of housemates as they spend their summer at the said shore in New Jersey. It received criticisms from the Italian government because of the term used on the show guido which is a general ethnical slur term for Italian Americans and Italians. A number of Italian American organizations supported the fight to stop airing the show, of which MTV responded with a press release stating that the show is only intended for an aspect of the youth culture. After calls for the removal of the show were expressed, several advertisers refused to continue airing their ads during the show.
