MTV.com has a report on last night's smackdown of "Jersey Shore" at the hands of "South Park." (They went after "Real Housewives of New Jersey" as well.) The Wall Street Journal found it pretty funny, while The New York Times' ArtsBeat blog mostly thought it was odd.

The full episode is available online.
