Domino's Pulls Out of 'Jersey Shore': The show is offensive to Italian food makers

TMZ. Domino's just delivered a major blow to the reality show, instructing their media buyers to pull all Domino's commercials from future episodes. They say that "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.
A rep for the pizza giant told TMZ, "The content of this particular program is not right for Domino's Pizza." A rep for MTV replyed: "Jersey Shore may not be for every sponsor or advertiser, and we understand that."
TMZ says that 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 (Read more)
