MTV debuted their controversial new reality show Jersey Shore Buckwild this week. The series focuses on a group of crazy and unpredictable 20-something New Jersey West Virginia residents who love to cut loose and have a good time, even if it means throwing punches at each other in the process. But not everyone is having as much fun as the show’s spray-tanned mud-soaked cast. Some of the people who live in the small shoreline rural communities like the one depicted in the show think MTV is giving people the wrong idea about their region.
Some West Virginians are angry, arguing the show feeds into “redneck” stereotypes. Samantha Markos, a nearby waitress, said if MTV producers filmed a “real” reality show about the state, “You would find a lot of hardworking people that provide for their families.” [...]
And Danny Jones, mayor of Charleston, W. Va., added, “You can find all kinds of people that live here and they’re not people that are going to be portrayed in Buckwild.” [CBS]
So there you have it. Not everyone from New Jersey West Virginia is a juiced-up redneck, cosmetically-enhanced tractor show attending, guido-humping cousin-humping idiot idiot who likes to get drunk and punch his or her loved ones in the head, no matter what the producers at MTV would have you believe.
In conclusion, here is a picture of a redneck dog. Have a great day.

Redneck Dog = Billy Ray Cy-ruff
Hey back left, what’s up?
are we talking their left or my left? if their left then, yes, i’d like to know how she’s doin’.
Who am I kidding? Either left that doesn’t have a peen.
I’m with Burnsy, I’m a sucker for big dimples. She reminds me a little of Laura Vandervoot.
(For the lazy: [celebslists.com])
There’s a little bit of Miley Cyrus to her too, which then ruins it for me.
too bad she’s easily the most insufferable person in the cast, which is obviously saying a lot.
Looks like someone got new pjs for Christmas. (“Someone” = Bruce Vilanch’s dog)
My friend lives near the Rehab bar in Huntington where they shot some of the show…she said it’s pretty much dead on
The fact that I would bang at least three of those redneck chicks disturbs me greatly.
Am I the only one that looks at these “20-somethings” and thinks they all look like they’re in their mid-teens?
Hold on a sec, I need to scare some kids off my lawn.
I can’t lie…I was delighted as much as I was horrified watching this last night. Parts of it made me nostalgic for my backwoods childhood.
+1
I had high hopes for it but I was incredibly let down. I kind of hated it. It felt more like The Hills in the country instead of a Jersey Shore/Real World type set up.
Must be a sad place in which to live. 9 people: ONE is smiling, one is grinning slight, one has a sort of smirk. The other six look like they just heard Jeeter, their old smell-hound, got hit by a truck.
It’s basically just Reserve, LA with hills
Replacing idiot with idiot was excellent work sir.
I imagine that MTV had to tone down the cousin fucking and cross burnings.
Nobody cares about “…a lot of hardworking people that provide for their families.” People want drunk idiot brats with no regard for authority, or their own well being. Mostly, I’m going to watch this because I want to see somebody die.
I heard this is just viral marketing for the new season of Justified. Next episode Raylan and Tim come in and sever all the men’s spines with bullets and sleep with all the women.
I forget where I saw it, it might have been someone from Uproxx who said it, but they made the point that if MTV was to do a similar show with black urban youths doing stupid shit, fighting, drinking, etc. Than it would likely cause an uproar, but you do it with backwoods white people and it’s a ratings bonanza.
BET already had a show like you’re describing. I can’t remember the name of it but that was basically what it was.
well I guess if BET did it than it is ok
I’ll wager $100 it started with “Tyler Perry’s…”
Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Oh who gives a fuck
Have you ever seen a rap video?
I’m going with the name of the show as “Any show on BET”
somebody needs to call Georgia’s AD and tell him to get Uga that outfit immediately if not sooner
I wonder if the girls straddling the guys legs are sisters or girlfriends?
They’re all sisters right?
No, they’re all siblings
All of them
Also, this whole thing reminds me of the Bloody Ferlin epi of Archer.
Remember all those beyond the pale racist tweets that were going around after Obama got re-elected? This is where they came from.
I’m not even going to lie; I couldn’t stop watching this last night and will most likely continue watching in the future.
What’s that? NBC Thursday nights and Archer are coming back? Oh well, it’s not like MTV won’t air this show 1,000,000,000,000,000 times anyway.
This isn’t realistic because all of these people would be married or divorced by their listed age and all the women would have at least two kids.
During the 2000′s it was the guido culture. Growing up gotti, is she going out with him, tool academy, and jersey shore. So far the 2010′s have given us honey boo boo (and toddlers and tiaras, to an extent), and now buckwild. Ugh, is this decade gonna be all rednecks now?
Duck Dynasty and two shows about gun shops point to yes.
I watched Buckwild last night to see if it was as terrible as my supervisor at DISH made it out to be. He and Steve are right. The 2010’s have been pretty bad to us, lol. I feel horrible for even watching Jersey Shore Buckwild. But at least I have the DISH Hopper, which auto-records all the prime time shows on the big four networks. Because I’d feel even more upset if I missed the new episode of Mobbed for this.
WHAT ARE YOU
I’d like to hear about any deals DISH Network is currently offering! You are fascinating!
DISH guy is back! I missed you!!!
I am a person just like you Shadowtag! And I dont really do sales Fatty Scarjuckle, but if you go to the DISH facebook page, it has alot of specials you can’t find anywhere else!
Oh, and you better believe I missed you guys too! How have you been Hank?
It was nice of the girl with all of West Virginia’s teeth to smile for us here.
uptil I looked at the draft saying $7228, I did not believe …that…my father in law woz actualey bringing home money part time from their laptop.. there sisters roommate haz done this 4 only about seventeen months and resantly took care of the dept on there cottage and bourt Toyota. I went here…… BIT40.ℂOℳ
Is it weird that the only thing I could think about after reading this article was how the bullet in the picture would never fit into that gun. The fact that the bullet is to big is the part that bothers me, not the fact that the dog had a gun, and it is assumed he could use it. What is wrong with me?
