Jersey Shore has gone to Japan where it has been titled "MTV Jersey Shore~ makaroniYe Lang noniyuziyaziraihu~ ".

How do you pronounce that in English? "MTV Jersey Shore - Macaroni Yarou no Nyuujyaajii Rifu". The literal translation is "Macaroni Rascals of New Jersey Life".

"Rascals" can also be substituted with "villian", "scoundrel", or "rogue". If you've ever watched an anime, it's a word that the hero yells at the evil thing it's fighting. It can also be considered a naughty word.

I expect this show will do well in Japan - they Jersey Shore cast looks similar to some of the

styles - specifically the

(very tan with bleached hair) trend that was popular in the early 2000s in Japan. "Ganguro" translates as "Black face". "Yamanba" translates as "Mountain Hag".

If you think Snooki is tan, you should see these girls. Some Yamanba would even use black markers to dye their skin and accent that with white makeup. Hawaii has always been a big destination for Japanese vacations, so you might notice a lot of Hawaiian prints mixed in with the tanned, sparkly, and sometimes bizarre ensembles.

and some examples of Ganguro, Yamanba, and Gyaru style here:
