MTV “Jersey Shore” Southern Spinoff “Party Down South” Now Casting
Italian-American stereotypes are soooo 2009. The casting geniuses behind MTV’s breakout reality smash Jersey Shore are looking for a couple good ol’ boys and girls to live up to any and all cliches about Southerners on a new reality show called Party Down South — a “Snooki Meets Larry The Cable Guy-style” docu-soap headed to MTV.
If you’re a proud Southerner with a pickup truck, a Confederate flag bumper sticker, and a penchant for Nascar and Martina McBride, Doron Ofir Casting Productions would like to talk to you!
TMZ.com writes: “According to DOC, there will be a casting RV that’ll slow ride through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennesse, Kentucky and West Virginia — and hopefully land a crop of rednecks wild enough to make Jersey Shore look like ‘Hey Dude.’”
In April, Code Red Productions announced that they too were looking for card-carrying rednecks to join the cast of its Jersey Shore-inspired Southern series, Redneck Riviera.

Okay, look people.. This is just plain insulting. Being a Southerner is not a cliche. It’s a form of life that all we ‘rednecks’ live. You know, some people are so stereotypical that they don’t even try to get to know us. Down here, in all these places (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee — 2 e’s, not one-, Kentucky, West Virginia, ect.), we Actually live Nice lives. Sure, some of us do bad things, but nobody’s perfect — not even you and all your ‘what-cha-call-its’… Some of us are actually smarter, kinder, and more decent than you think (hence ‘Southern Hospitality’.). Most of your ‘Hollywood-Ready’ cliques are all about clubs and taking people down. How do you think we feel about all of the mess-ups and scandals people like you (Jersey Shore people, Hollywood people) create? It’s not like the decent versions of ‘Southern Folk’ aren’t trying to help fix our aquaintances problems, because we do. It just takes time. At least, most of us down in the South try to consider everyone a friend. We don’t try to make enemies, or ‘frienemies’. We don’t like to get caught up in gossip too much. We don’t like drama. We love our lives to stay normal, easy.. Now, how does that work for all of you?

The South isn’t something to be messed with, if you mess with one of us, Southerners you mess with us all. The way we live are lives might be completely different and beyond the way you live your fake little life in fairytale land, but at least we know what’s important to us. We don’t need to be in a reality tv show to have friends (plus even if we did I believe CMT would show us more respect.) And when you come to assume we are ‘rednecks’ take in mind your categorizing all of us under that and the Dirty South might not approve. MTV would be lucky to have a show in the South to display how real Southerners are completely different than belief (even though they would probably be scripted like most.) Oh and keep Snooki out of the South. Please.

Not all of us Southerners own mobile meth labs, eat possum pate’, and have a 15 inch lift kit on our trucks. Some of us actually have college degrees…and not even from online. I have a couple of second rate Kudzu League University degrees myself. Reality programs don’t make you stupid: they just make your stupidity apparent to more people.
