Fist Pump! Family Guide to the Jersey Shore

The Jersey Shore isn’t just for juiceheads

Bunchlander Amanda recently took her family to the Jersey Shore, a spot she’s been vacationing at since her teens, and says it’s nothing like you probably think. If you’ve seen a episode of the hit TV “reality” series Jersey Shore, you’re probably imagining a tacky wasteland, home to spray-tanned “guidos” and “guidettes” who enjoy “fist pumping” at the clubs. (We like the kiddie parody above.) If you’ve ever seen a movie or TV show that referenced “Joisey,” the common stereotype is that it’s a dump no one would ever want to visit, let alone live in. (There’s even a website devoted to changing people’s perceptions of “Dirty Jersey”: JerseyDoesntStink.com.)
