Dear Italy,
As a proud American and a recovering son of the Garden State, I would like to hereby offer my formal public musical apology for Jersey Shore hitting your shores. We're hearing that you're not very impressed with our self-annoited guidos and guidettes now that their "reality" show is airing over there. As Roberto Del Bove, columnist for Rome's New Notzie newspaper, put it, Jersey Shore "embodies the worst stereotypes of Italians, multiplied by thousands and Americanized." Frankly, your rejection only makes us love you more, and we were already pretty darn impressed what with your pasta, your wine and that fine art stuff. We sure hope that you'll remember that we also gave you jazz & rock & roll, and overlook this rather unfortunate situation.
Scusa,
David
