New Jersey governor Chris Christie appeared on ABC’s This Week, and was asked about MTV’s Jersey Shore, which returns Thursday for its second season. He has a problem with it, but not because of the cast’s behavior or embodiment of stereotypes: but because they’re secretly New Yorkers.

He said it is a “negative for New Jersey. What it does is take a bunch of New Yorkers—who, most of the people on Jersey Shore are New Yorkers—it takes a bunch of New Yorkers, drops them at the Jersey Shore, and tries to make America feel like this is New Jersey.”
