Governor Not A Fan Of "Jersey Shore"
"Jersey Shore" may have many fans, but
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is not among them.
During an appearance Sunday on ABC's "This Week" show, host
Jake Tapper asked Christie if he thought the MTV program -- which
focuses on the escapades of a group of hard-partying 20-something
Italian-Americans at a shore house -- was positive or negative for
the Garden State.
"Negative for New Jersey" Christie replied.
Many Italian-American groups have panned the show, deeming it
offensive and reliant on crude stereotypes.
Christie says it "takes a bunch of New Yorkers, drops them at
the Jersey Shore and tries to make America feel like this is New
Jersey."
The governor says anyone who wants to learn about "the real New
Jersey" should visit the state and see what it has to offer.
