A group of state lawmakers known as the New Jersey Italian American Legislative Caucus have fired off an angry letter of protest to MTV targeting their “wildly offensive†yet overwhelmingly popular show, Jersey Shore. In it, they demand that MTV pull the program from their schedule immediately. Don’t fret, loyal Vulture readers, as we’re fairly certain that the Situation would let himself develop love handles before MTV would decide to comply with this request. Speaking of which, there’s no new episode tonight, but there will be one on New Year’s Eve! Frankly, we can’t think of a better way to ring in the new decade. [AP]
