The Jersey Shore saw Jersey Shore, claims to not be full of drunken STD receptacles

You, too, can live a healthy and productive life with genital herpes.

Anyone catch MTV's Jersey Shore ' a reality show where people stop being polite and start getting day-drunk ' last night? I missed it but don't think I won't be scouring MTV for a rerun, based solely on this preview (and the fact that one character refers to himself as The Situation):

Daniel Cappello, executive director of the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau, is not particularly happy about the show's portrayal of the Jerz:

'We're flattered that MTV thinks we're an interesting enough destination to warrant an entire reality series,' said Cappello. 'But the national TV audience is hardly getting the full story.'

'MTV is providing a one-dimensional, dramatized version of a very small group of visitors' summer experiences in one Jersey Shore town. We have many spectacular ocean and bay beaches in Monmouth and Ocean County, from the Atlantic Highlands down to Long Beach Island, and countless choices for people of all ages and walks of life to enjoy year round.

'The Jersey Shore's world-renowned legacy speaks for itself. There's a reason why millions of people have made us their primary vacation destination for two centuries. People who escape to other destinations once in their lives return to the Jersey Shore for a wholesome family experience year after year, from generation to generation. We welcome visitors to come here, even during the holiday season, to enjoy a cultural diversity that in no way reflects what is seen on MTV.'

Dude, the house is in Seaside Heights. Instead of espousing the benefits of family friendly environs in a long statement, Cappello could have just gone with, "Look, MTV highlighting Seaside Heights is like a high-end steakhouse only serving the cow's inner rectum. Try Sea Isle City."

New episodes of Jersey Shore premiere Thursdays at 10 p.m. on MTV.
