MTV, the home of canceled reality TV sensation "Jersey Shore," has announced its plans to broadcast a one-hour special, to raise money to help restore the Jersey Shore. "Restore the Shore" will be broadcast on November 15 at 11PM, from MTV's Times Square studio.

According to USA Today, the special will feature cast members from the show, as well as special guests who will be announced at a later date. Money will go towards the restoration of Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The popular boardwalk town was hit particularly badly by Sandy, and was a frequent feature of the show.

MTV will be partnering with Architecture for Humanity, a non-profit organization that helps out communities in need with design and construction services. Do you think what MTV is doing is a good deed? Or is it just for the ratings?

Even if they are just doing it for ratings, at least the victims will get help. I don't see any downsides for participating in good charities.

Is it really still a good deed if you care about ratings and not the people you are "helping"?

MTV is a mediocre channel where clips and fake Hooters sell, instead of good music ! which hardly ever exists there.

It's a bit of both, actually. It's good that they're helping the victims, but it's unfortunately also for the ratings.

Good deeds being done because it is profitable to be conscientious are an example of a free market at its absolute finest. I don't care if its for ratings, its at least partly for the help they can bring and regardless of motivation, money goes to a good cause. Yeah, Jersey Shore is still a stupid show, the cast still made up of insufferable twats, but hey, credit where due, this is a good thing.

Seaside was always the place I liked to go on a weekend evening but we haven't gone in the last few years, ironically since the show has been filming there. Of course I regret not going now that it's almost been wiped off the map!!
Seeing as these people are watched by many and some people really like them, their effort is appreciated...even by those who've never watched their show and resent the way they portray New Jersians...we're not like that. ;)

Sorry to say that the way they act leads me to believe they are entirely too selfish to do this out of the goodness of their hearts.

They couldn't give two f*cks (literally they could *burn*) if those people die. They're a bunch of fools who represent what America is slowly turning into, idiocracy.

Any relief effort should be appreciated. If that picture is really them(never seen the show) better yet how about this bunch of cheap looking 'bottanes' go and work off some of the excess pasta bloat by physically helping out.

Ratings; but let them raise some money, and jusr hoping it really gets to some victims.

I swear, if I worked at MTV when the show was popular and was maybe 35 years younger, I'd have to hit all five of those plunp ladies at least once. Ha.

the Jersey Shore cast loves the Jersey Shore so it makes sense they would want to help out and Sammy and Deena are from NJ so im sure the situation is even closer to their hearts

These actresses have an intimate attachment with the Jersey Shore, and in addition, I don't know anyone who still keeps tabs on Snookie anymore. This most likely constitutes an act of the kind heart.
