Are fellow guidos and guidettes scared to share the screen with Snooki and The Situation? Last night The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale hosted a Jersey Shore casting call, which MTV thought would pull in at least a few hundred of the fist-pumping, tanned nation's finest... but alas, they only got a few dozen. Those who did show up were pulled off the dance floor by casting agents, who then privately grilled them on camera. One told Newsday: "Tanned, toned, sexy, fist-pumping. We're looking for pretty much anybody that would be great on the show, blondes, brunettes, we need it all." The two winners would join the cast when they get back to Seaside Heights this summer (currently they're wearing out their welcome in South Beach). Perhaps the rain last night put the fear into the poofy-haired set, but tonight casting will take place again from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. In the meantime, enjoy this cramazing video:
