The Italians are preparing for the invasion of Snooki & Co., who will be filming their next season of Jersey Shore in Italy soon. The mayor of Florence has already given the cast a list of strict rules, and now the Istituto Lorenzo de' Medici has warned its students that they should avoid the cast at all costs when they come to film at the school. According to TMZ, a letter to those residing in a student housing building that the cast will use, reads:
"Dear Students,
Our Housing dept. has informed us that starting May 9th there will be shootings inside the 2nd floor apartment of your building.
We advise you to NOT sign any paper, let anyone in, and keep us informed."
The school has allegedly also offered "alternative housing" nearby for those who want to avoid run-ins with The Sitaution, and offered refunds to those who want to leave all together!
And while we're here, we might as well report that The Situation is the latest to ink a deal for a spin-off show on MTV. He says, "I'm excited to continue my relationship with MTV, which has been home for me for the last couple of years. I'm really grateful for all the support from my fans. Hopefully, there will be plenty more situations in the future." In related news... looks like he's still finding ways to work the word "situation" into every sentence.
