It’s the day before we all break for the Christmas holiday, and what better way to celebrate than to discuss MTV’s “Jersey Shore”? The show – which follows seven tanned and hair-sprayed individuals in a “Real World”-esque home on the Jersey Shore, has been a topic of conversation in the halls of PCMag a few times, but alas, there was no tech angle.
Until now. TMZ reports that Dell is now the third sponsor to pull their ads from the TV show. “Jersey Shore” has drawn fire from Italian-American groups, as well as those representing the beaches of NJ, for what they considered to be a deragatory depiction of the region and its people.
Dell asked MTV to block its ad from airing during “Jersey Shore” because they don’t “condone or support ethnic bashing in any form,” TMZ said.
American Family Insurance and Dominos Pizza have also removed their ads.
‘The Situation’ was unavailable for comment.
