 (com'� l'accento che usa in questo video? like a New Jersey guido?)
Eh s�. Guido, come il nome, � slang per dire un americano delle origini 
italiane, che parla con l'accento di New Jersey o New York City. La 
parodia tratte dei personaggi che si vedono al programma "Jersey Shore." 
Da anni, ragazzi e ragazze andavano alla costa sud di New Jersey per le 
vacanze e per i party.

 vacanze e per i party.

And while many say that Jersey Shore is a horror show, for one cast
member named Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, it may be the beginning of a
fairytale. As she says in the first episode, "I wanna marry a guido.
My ultimate dream is to move to Jersey, find a nice, juiced, tan guy
and live my life."

"Guido" does not refer to all young male Italians, only to a certain 
offensive subset. "Guido" is not a slur, but it certainly isn't a 
compliment. "Guido" could be compared to the Roman "burino" - someone who 
thinks he is to be admired, but who in reality is ridiculous and laughable. 
I have never heard any Italian-American use the word "Guido" to describe 
himself, but I have often heard Italian-Americans refer to other 
Italian-Americans as "Guidos"..

Only one member of the cast of "Jersey Shore" is from New Jersey.
The Jersey shore is not dominated by Italians.
In the summer time, every Friday night until well after midnight, there is a 
traffic jam on the Garden State Parkway, the major highway from the NYC area 
to the "Jersey Shore". And every Sunday afternoon the traffic jam in the 
other direction contiues until well after midnight.
The beach at Seaside Heights, NJ, where the show takes place, has frequently 
been used as a location by MTV, because of the expansive beach and the large 
amusement complex located there.
Seaside Heights and neighboring Seaside Park exist and have existed for the 
past 75 years solely for the summer rental trade. The busses from NYC to 
this area only run during the summer. The amusement park closes when the 
summer people leave.
A more realistic picture of summer life on the Jersey Shore was presented in 
the TV series "Down the Shore", set in the town of Belmar, NJ, a few miles 
north of Seaside Heights.

We will be renting a house in Seaside Heights for a month this summer, as we 
have for many of the past 25 years, and we don't expect to see very many 
"Guidos" during our stay, although I'm sure we'll eat in some nice Italian 
restaurants and meet a lot of Italian-Americans.
