The search is on for Toronto's version of this (Image: MTV)
Break out the bronzer, put on the Ed Hardy cap and practise those duck lips in the bathroom mirror, because Toronto is getting its own version of MTV’s runaway hit, the National Geographic–worthy documentary Jersey Shore. Or so we think. According to a casting call on Craigslist, the show will be called Tdot, and it’s currently looking for “outspoken, outstanding, over the top, attractive females and males of Iranian ethnicity over the age of 19,” or as the ad simply states, Persian princes and princesses.
So much for diversity. We assume the casting agents are looking for 905ers who hang around the club district and zoom around in souped-up Honda Civics blasting techno music. The guys wear sunglasses at night and white Aldo loafers with square toes, while the women wear mini–jersey dresses and walk awkwardly in heels when it’s snowing. But for the record, we’ve seen people of every racial background partake in these fashion crimes, which is what makes Toronto so great.

I think I’ll stick with the “real” Jersey Shore…no need for copy-cats tisk tisk
