Jersey Shore, MTV staff receives threats, advertisers bolt News,Entertainment Not everyone is happy with the new TV series, "Jersey Shore."

Italian-American interest group Unico National has asked members to boycott advertisers of the new MTV reality show, which follows a group of Italian-Americans living together in a summer house on the Jersey shore, according to ABC News.

Andre DiMino, president of the largest Italian-American service organization in the U.S., recently told the New York Times that he found their behavior "reprehensible and demeaning in all respects."

"I don't see any redeeming value in the show," DiMino told the Times. "They are an embarrassment to themselves and to their families."

After the show's Dec. 3 premiere, featuring cast members self-described as "guidos" and "guidettes," MTV staffers were reportedly the target of threats, according to Fox News.com.
