Alyssa Milano Hates Guidos!
Following behind Domino’s Pizza, Italian-American actress Alyssa Milano can’t stand the nonsense that MTV calls The Jersey Shore!
The show, which documents “guidos” and “guidettes” boozin’ it up at the Jersey Shore last summer, Milano says exploits a stereotype and gives the vacation destination a bad rap.
“My husband actually showed me the trailer on YouTube last night, and I got upset,” she told Usmagazine.com Thursday at the UNICEF ball in Beverly Hills. “It upset me. I was like, ‘Turn that off!’ So no, I don’t think I’ll be watching that!’”
While many Italian-Americans and UNICO National, the nation’s largest Italian American service organization, continue to bash the show in hopes to get it off the air, Jersey Shore cast-member Nicole AKA “Snooki” defends the MTV reality series.
“The Italian, whatever, national, whatever their organization is, they don’t understand that ‘guidos’ and ‘guidettes’ are good-looking people that, you know, like to make a scene and be center of attention and just take care of themselves,” she said on The Wendy Williams Show Friday. “They are old-fashioned. They don’t know that; they think it’s offensive, because maybe in their time it was offensive, but now it’s kind of a compliment. So they don’t understand that and that is what we are trying to say. They are way overreacting to the show. We’re 22 to 29 just having fun at the shore. They are just taking it way out of proportion.”
While it may be one of our guility pleasures, we definitely don’t agree with Snookie thinking it’s a compliment to be considered a guido or guidette! These poor kids are gonna be cancer victims before they know it!
