OUTRAGED by Disney!!

I have never been so outraged by a children's network than I was when I saw this promotion for the new season of "Sonny With a Chance". The commercial consist of the main characters of the show depicting what has now become societies view of woman in New Jersey. Its pathetic what we have now become with in the vast world of entertainment TV. We are seen as gaudy, backstabbing, high maintenance, and two faced.

Shows like the Jersey Shore on MTV started this, shall I say, OBSESSION with New Jersey and the people who live here. I must admit that Jersey Shore is a guilty pleasure for me. The reason I enjoy this show and don't take it to heart is because if you look at the cast of the show most of them are not even from Jersey! They are the people who crowd the Jersey Shore every summer in search for a good time. It is understood by those who live in Jersey and the tri state area that this is not what most of Jersey is like. Of coarse there are always those exceptions but as a Jersey resident I love to just laugh at it.

Jersey Shore is just one of the shows. Now you have The Real House Wives of New Jersey and Jersey Couture. These shows are all made for adults and are aired on networks that target and adult audience.

NOW....

To why I am so outraged about Disney. Disney is meant to be a wholesome, family channel. Here they are promoting stereotypes!!!! Children are so impressionable. If they see one of their favorite stars, like Demi Lovato poking fun at New Jersey they will believe this is what New Jersey is like. Imagine the child sitting at home watching this somewhere in the midwest. They have never been to the east coast. They know have a notion that women in New Jersey are catty and trashy. Can I just mention that these ladies don't even sound like there from Jersey. If anything they sound like Fran Drescher, which may I mention is meant to sound like the stereotypical New Yorker. So disney not only are you teaching stereotypes and feeding children adult content through jokes they may or may not get, you are miss representing what you were trying to make fun of it the first place. OH and on top of insulting residents of New Jersey such as myself, you are using this episode to PROMOTE the new season. REALLY, REALLY disney are you kidding me!!!
