Bin Laden Had a Point?

       "When I see this, I wonder whether [Osama] Bin Laden had a point," wrote one, referring to his involvement in 9/11, it is words like these that are making the controversy more than it should be.

Just recently the Jersey Shore has been airing it Italy and it seems that the natives are not liking what they see.  MTV may have made a mistake airing the controversial show before starting filming for the fifth season, Italians are deeply distubed at what they are watching and they are not holding in their opinions.  Many nasty comments have been said about the popular American show.

Columnist Roberto Del Bove in particular had some very harsh words, "They embody the worst stereotypes of Italians, multiplied by thousands and Americanized, Slicked hair, exaggerated narcissism…. outlandish eccentricity."  Yes, these are harsh words but is that not what the show is generally about and what draws in the large crowd that it has made it MTV's top rated show of all time.  I believe many can see where Roberto is coming from showing pride in his country however his post on the MTV Italia Web page does not change the fact that many people are still excited about the European adventure the cast is about to face.
