Jersey Shore Season 2 Premiere

"We are pioneers of an ugly age," said casting director Doron Ofir, after his pièce de résistance, MTV's Jersey Shore, was picked up for another season. To wit: Now that Shore, chronicling the lives of self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes, has parlayed an Italian-American stereotype into a national phenomenon, no subculture is safe from the reality-TV treatment. New shows in the works include Iranians (The Persian Version), Massachusetts dwellers (Wicked Summer), and Latino gay men (Chongas). Godspeed, advocacy groups. -- DM
