UNICO Rips Remaining 'Jersey Shore' Sponsors
"Jersey Shore" already lost one pizza-making sponsor -- but now the largest Italian American group in the country is chewing out another dough factory for continuing to support the "Italian-bashing" reality show.
UNICO has fired off another demand letter to the companies who continue to support the MTV show, tearing several sponsors -- including Papa John's Pizza, Nivea, LG Electronics and Burger King -- for supporting "such a discriminatory, insulting and Italian-bashing program."
UNICO president Andre DiMino added, "I am urging our supporters to call these sponsors and demand they pull their advertising from Jersey Shore."
As TMZ first reported, Domino's Pizza and an insurance group pulled out after the debut episode of the show. UNICO tells us MTV has since refrained from using the terms "guido" and "guidette" in promo clips and on their web site.

Guy Who KO'd Snooki -- Getting Knocked Out
What's good for the d-bag who punches women is good for ... the d-bag who punches women.
Brad Ferro made headlines as the "man" who punched "Jersey Shore" star Snooki at a bar in New Jersey in August. But back in January, he took part in an underground fighting event called Clash in the Cage -- and he got KNOCKED OUT!!!
He grappled with his opponent, Spencer Cook, for a little bit before he got clocked by a solid left and it was all she wrote.
Karma, kinda like Snooki, can be a bitch.

'Jersey Shore' Cast Not So Welcome in LA
The kids from "Jersey Shore" have been all over Hollywood this weekend, but not everyone is glad to see Snooki & company.
We got her with Mike "The Situation" and Pauly D outside MI6 in West Hollywood where a few clubgoers had some less-than-positive things to say about them ... and the entire state of New Jersey.

MTV No Longer Packs a Punch
MTV will not air the scene in "Jersey Shore" in which a drunken idiot coldcocks a female cast-member and knocks her out.
MTV told E!'s Marc Malkin the network consulted with experts (we're guessing Chris Brown) and decided the footage should be 86'd from the show.
The scene, which shows New York gym teacher Dan Ferro clocking Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, was used in the MTV promo and then made the rounds.
MTV told Malkin the scene "has been taken out of context not to show the severity of this act or resulting consequences."
As for resulting consequences, Ferro was arrested, pled guilty and placed on probation.

Snooki's Attacker -- Guilty of Assault
The episode hasn't aired yet -- but the man who punched a female "Jersey Shore" star in the face has already been run through the justice system for the attack.
It's all over an incident captured by MTV cameras, in which Snooki -- aka Nicole Polizzi -- gets socked in the face by a man at the Beachcomber Bar & Grill in Seaside Heights, NJ on August 19.
The man -- if you want to call him that -- Brad Ferro, was arrested and was eventually found guilty of simple assault. Ferro was fined $500 and given a 6 months suspended jail sentence -- which is essentially hardcore probation.
The worst part: the attack was all over a drink. We're told Ferro tried to take Snooki's cocktail and when she yelled at him for it, he retaliated with his fists.
The episode showing the attack is scheduled to run next week -- MTV says they will run a public service announcement about violence during the episode.

Jersey Shore's Advertising Woes ... Fuggetaboutit
"Jersey Shore" is finally reversing the Domino's effect and picking up an advertiser for a change -- and the new sponsor jells perfectly with all the suspicious activity on the MTV show.
TMZ has learned a website called BeenVerified.com -- which does criminal background checks on people -- rushed over to MTV to take the vacant advertising slots after Domino's and American Family Insurance bailed out. Both companies abandoned ship after an Italian American group blasted the show for being "offensive."
A rep for the new sponsor tells TMZ, "We may not be hair gel product, but we feel the program's content reinforces our brand's message perfectly."
The new ads will air in tonight's episode, which seems fitting for the background check company -- according to the show promo, one of the girls gets punched in the face by some dude at a bar.

'Jersey Shore' Chick -- History of Flipping Out
Snooki -- the self-described "guidette" from "Jersey Shore" -- has a penchant for attention whoring on the beach ... in fact, one incident was caught on tape back in 2007.
TMZ came across this footage of the Princess of Poughkeepsie busting out a series of bikini-clad back handsprings way before she got her gig with MTV.
Who knew she could be this entertaining ... without a drink in her hand?

'Jersey Shore' Scares Off Another Sponsor
Call it the "Domino's Effect" -- another sponsor is following the pizza giant's lead and getting the hell out of "Jersey Shore"
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."
The move opens yet another spot for advertisers looking to sell hair gel, fist-pumping instructional DVDs, tribal tats, pink eye remedies, more hair gel, Drakkar Noir, eye-brow waxing kits, and yes ... even more hair gel.

Dough!!!! Domino's Pulls Out of 'Jersey Shore'
"Jersey Shore" isn't just offensive to Italian people, it's also offensive to Italian food makers -- and now Domino's Pizza wants their ads pulled from the MTV show ASAP.
Domino's just delivered a major blow to the reality show, instructing their media buyers to pull all Domino's commercials from future episodes.
A rep for the pizza giant tells TMZ, "The content of this particular program is not right for Domino's Pizza."
The announcement could mean a huge advertising opportunity for anyone selling hair gel, vodka, self-tanning products, steroids, hair-removal products, eye-liner, more hair gel, breast enhancements, cologne, energy drinks, Affliction t-shirts, fake nails and even more hair gel.
UPDATE: A rep for MTV tells us: "Jersey Shore" may not be for every sponsor or advertiser and we understand that."

Italian Group: 'Jersey Shore' Was Offensive
MTV told Italian American groups to hold judgment on the new reality show "Jersey Shore" until they saw an episode ... well, the wait is over -- and the outrage flood gates have blown wide open.
After last night's debut episode of the reality show, UNICO National -- the "Largest Italian American Service Organization in the USA" -- claims they "can't keep up with the volume of calls" from "outraged" Italian Americans.
TMZ spoke with a rep from the group who told us, "I suffered through all 120 mins of that show and it was worse than I imagined."
The rep added, "Italian Americans are OUTRAGED and they are helping us reach out to sponsors to ask them to stop advertising with MTV until they agree to pull Jersey Shore."
For those unfamiliar with the show -- imagine "The Hills" on steroids, dipped in bronzer, and slathered in hair gel ... only more addicting.
