Soon, Japan will be the latest country to witness the intellectually stimulating antics of the 'Jersey Shore' crew. However, the show will go by a very different name: 'Macaroni Rascals.'

Yup.

According to CNNGo.com, before the show could air on TV in Japan, a subtitle was necessary to explain it to viewers -- probably a sound decision, since the Guido stereotype is most likely not so well known in Japan. Translated, the series' new name is 'MTV Jersey Shore -- the New Jersey Life of Macaroni Rascals.'

Aside from coining the greatest new phrase known to man, the title also sounds like it's a riotous black and white farce from the 1940s, or an animated kids' show about food. Or an existential pop culture parody short story from the 'New Yorker' -- it could be highbrow too, you never know.

Though we're a little disturbed that the Italian-Americans are being identified by the stereotypical food of their ethnic group, we're glad the GTL-ing exploits of the nickname-heavy bunch will be seen by a new audience.

What do you think about 'Jersey Shore''s Japanese name?
