New Jersey Shore House: "a sort of shared holiday let"

Perhaps in a bid to improve the natives’ self-esteem, a British network will soon bring “Jersey Shore” to televisions in Knifecrime Island. This primer on what the show is about (“The eight guidos and guidettes (the female of the species) in Jersey Shore wear the badge proudly — appropriating this derisive term for themselves in the same way that some Afro-Americans have taken possession of the N word.”) cracks me the hell up. It’s like a “Masterpiece Theater” explanation of guinea minstrelsy.
