'Jersey Shore' Cast Gets Mixed Reception in Florence (Video)

The cast of 'Jersey Shore' isn't terribly popular with some Italian-Americans, who feel that JWoww, The Situation, Snooki and the crew represent some ugly stereotypes. The show is now filming in Florence, Italy, and 'Today'  found a lot of Italian-Italians aren't so hot on 'Jersey Shore' either. They asked some people in the street their opinions and spoke with the mayor of Florence, who had trouble understanding what a "Snooki" was.

"They are full of tattoo, they get drunk," one woman in the street said. "I think they are stupid." Another woman said that Italians are not like the 'Jersey Shore' cast does on television.

The mayor of Florence thought perhaps the arts could save The Situation on the rest of the 'Jersey Shore' crew. Save them for what, in particular? He didn't say.
