It was while doing the latter that we found a tasty item from March on CNN International. Apparently, in Japan, Jersey Shore‘s title is Jersey Shore: The New Jersey Life of Macaroni Rascals. (CNN admits to a bit of self-censorship; the actual title is closer to Macaronia A–holes, which sounds like a put-down from Deadwood.) That title is pretty hilarious…albeit just a wee bit offensive. Cultural sensitivity is our watchword, so to our friends across the Pacific, here are a few somewhat less touchy title possibilities:
Jersey Shore: Men Who Cook and the Women Who Yell at Them
Jersey Shore: The Adventures of Mr. Circumstance and his Hooligan Gang
Jersey Shore: Small Woman Drinking Like a Sailor
Jersey Shore: ‘The Real World’ Minus the Gay Guy and the Black Guy
Jersey Shore: Gymnasium, Skin Cancer Laboratory, Laundromat
Jersey Shore: Ouch, My Head Hurts Every Morning!
Jersey Shore: An Exploration of the Hair Gel Industry
Jersey Shore: Shut Up, Angelina!
Jersey Shore: America Is Even Crazier Than You Thought
PopWatchers, can you come up with a better, more culturally aware title? And are you excited about the new episode?
