Here's one character from "Jersey Shore" who -- or I should say which -- will not be returning for the third season, to be taped in Seaside Heights:
The Italian flag.
You know the flag well, oh "Jersey Shore" fan. It was a huge decal of the flag that hung over the door in Seaside Heights and has since become both a symbol of the show and a tourist attraction.
Well -- UNICO, the big Italian-American anti-defamation group that pressured MTV to have it removed -- finally prevailed. The flag comes down, and with it, an enduring thorn in UNICO's side:
A mural of the Italian flag, which covered part of the front of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” beach house at Seaside Heights and was used to unfortunately symbolize the show which stereotyped Italian Americans, has been removed, UNICO National President Andre’ DiMino announced.
