Jersey Shore: Letting Your Kids Watch "Reality" Shows

New survey shows the MTV show might actually improve the Garden state's reputation

According to the Huffington Post, a new nationwide poll shows that MTV’s The Jersey Shore isn’t hurting New Jersey’s image. In fact, it might actually be helping, according to the Farleigh Dickinson University Poll.

The results got Patch wondering: How do Mahwah parents feel about this and other Jersey “reality” shows? Do you let your kids watch them? Do you feel they are giving kids a warped perception of what it is like to live here (or go on vacation down the shore), or, as the poll suggests, is it not that big of a deal?
