MTV's Sponsors pulling out.. Not happy with Jersey Shore
Two major sponsors have pulled there commercials from the JS time slot. Domain's Pizza and American Family Insurance.
TMZ has learned American Family Insurance noticed their ads running during the premiere episode of the MTV reality show last week -- an episode that "outraged" one major Italian group -- and immediately called the network to make sure it doesn't happen again.
A rep for the insurance company tells us, "Since our relationship with MTV was in its final days, we took the simple and prudent step of asking MTV to not air any more ... promos during 'Jersey Shore' reruns over the weekend. MTV stated they would comply with the request."
Anne Lu - Celebrity News Service News Writer
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - The MTV new reality series "Jersey Shore" has just lost a sponsor. Domino's Pizza has pulled its ads from the show after Italian-Americans protested how they are being portrayed in the program.
And
The pizza chain told TMZ that after seeing what the program was about, they decided that the content wasn't right for the company.
A rep for MTV responded that the show may not be for every sponsor, and they "understand" that.
On Friday, UNICO, the largest Italian-American service organization in the U.S., told TMZ that the show, which debuted Thursday, was offensive to Italian Americans.
"Jersey Shore" follows eight twenty-something Italian Americans spending their summer on the Jersey Shore.

B/c a pizza from Domino's screams classy...
(FYI- I love Domino's, And I LOVE this show too. Oh, this is coming from an Italian who spent a summer in a share house at the Jersey Shore, Belmar).

I questioned what she was too. Someone on here told me she is Jewish/Italian. She doesn't look either to me but I guess with all that hair and makeup, and fake tan, how can you tell?
