'Jersey Shore' comes to Japan as 'Macaroni Rascals' | CNNGo.com - http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo...
"With the average Japanese cable TV viewer being totally ignorant of American geography, however, the name "Jersey Shore" needed an explanatory subtitle. So MTV Japan has decided on「MTV Jersey Shore〜マカロニ野郎のニュージャージー・ライフ〜」, translated by us as "MTV Jersey Shore -- the New Jersey life of macaroni rascals."" - Victor Ryden 美久太阿
