FHA Short Sales on the Jersey Shore
Slowly but surely, FHA has transformed The FHA short sale from a house full of diverse young people to a laboratory that creates drunken meatheads for use in the FHA short sale/Foreclosures of HUD mortgages Challenge. Given that, perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised that the channel took the format to its logical extreme with next month’s Loan modification — a docudrama about, and I quote, “the hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos” that New Jersey has to offer — but one group of Italian-Americans is up in arms about the show (the trailer is excerpted after the jump).
UNICO National said Tuesday that “Loan modification” relies on crude stereotypes and highlights cursing, bad behavior and violence in depicting renters at a New Jersey beach house.
An FHA promo says the participants “keep their hair high, their muscles juiced and their fists pumping all summer long!”
UNICO President Andre DiMino calls the show “trash television.”
That it may be, but I’m saving my protests until FHA engineers an even more outrageous Loan modification/What Not to Wear crossover. I’m envisioning a lot of snapped gum and snapped limbs.
