Lake Shore reality show announces racially categorized cast

thats not toronto !!! thats not toronto!!!

im personally gonna find downtown d and challenge him to a fight.

I'm ashamed to be from Thornhill and of Jewish descent.
What a travesty.

These people are a huge collection of douchy-ness, but that's the point, isn't it?

What fun would a bunch of level-headed folks discussing politics or culture over some chai lattes?

This is Trash TV which require, well, trash!

I like that Downtown D is only downtown three or four days a week. Living in the Annex everyday never seemed so hardcore until now.

I'd rather watch a show about Igor Kenk, Rob Ford, the G20 anarchist ringleaders and OH MY GOD SOMEBODY GET ME A TV PRODUCER.

I vote for the chick full of burgers n fries to be the lakeshore Snookie. Paint her orange and you got a big fat clown. After all BFC's can buy their way onto television just like anybody else. I would personally like to start a pool of which day of the week the gay guy gets it. The tall chick obviously spends all her money on Botox. The naked thing in the pool really really needs to lose her virginity and a pound or two. The Italian guy is just funny but not the way he thinks. The guy at the end seems to know a lot about being homosexual 'huhuhuhu'. I wonder if he makes that sound when his boyfriend is zeroing in on his backside.

Sorry but this is too funny today!! Please, please stop. I am laughing so much it hurts!!!!

Also, given that Toronto is 50% Chinese and South Asian, where is their representation?

I didnt think anything could've been worse then JacLife. But I was wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if the producers haven't noticed the minorities of the city.

Although I wouldn't give the show enough credit to think they'd try to be representative.

No Greek?!?!

Doesn't seem any better or any worse than Jersey Shore and people watch that like mad.

I did particularly like how Salem considers himself to be a "pes-timistic" person...and he's not gay? Gotta be a plant for some drama down the way with Hollywood's coming out.

Apparently the term "race" is interchangeable with "nationality". All of these people of of the same "race" but different "nationalities". That is not the same. DUH.

Reply @ d .. lmao, were expecting people like you so these 'threats' don't scare nor intimidate any of us @ all. Good Luck and happy hating.

Very true. You could argue that kids from New Jersey are cut from the same cloth, but I think it's fair to say that Toronto offers a fairly unique opportunity to have people from all over the world on the show (even if they are crazy clubber types).

The Lebanese guy sounds gay, however...

This is beyond awful.
Seriously. This will go down with all the other Canadian - American TV ripoffs; such as 'Who Wants To Be A CANADIAN Millionaire?", "Are You Smarter Than A Canadian 5th Grader?", "Canadian Idol(ol)" and so forth and of course, THE CFL.

Canada will hype it, no one will care.

I cannot believe i actually watched that- I refuse to watch jersey shore but i thought this was about Toronto. These people are not from Toronto- they are the Douchebags and Hoochies that come down in Daddy's car on the weekends- I own a Night Club in Toronto and when these people try to get in the cover doubles or "Guest List Only tonight" and send them elsewhere.

God help us all.

Just watched the "trailer". This is going to be an embarrassment to the city, youtube or not.

I wish we could force them to have a "does not represent Toronto" disclaimer like they have before infomercials.

am I the only one who thinks this is a joke? these people are like stereo types drawn with the thickest marker, no one would be this willing to act out right? or I could be wrong and their just that willing to be dancing puppets for reality television. Either way I'm still not watching.

What a bunch of haters here... Look in the mirror. Your condescension is unflattering.

Everyone in Toronto is Middle Eastern or from the former Soviet Union. There are no Indians, Chinese, or black people here.

Is this actually a TV show? I don't see any TV station attached to this.

David you in the F**K are you kidding if you really do own a bar in toronto you know that every club has there promotors that set up bus limos to bring all the kids from the outskirts and i am sure you would not turn back Kids from out of the Downtown area who would be stupid enough to buy the $125.00 bottles that they all buy, and if you do you are a shitty businessman

Why couldn't they just get a bunch of gino's and send them to Wasaga - that would have been hilarious and awesome.

The trailer represents everything that is wrong with Toronto - especially the attitude that something is wrong with being Canadian, you have to be from somewhere else to have any sort of identity.

Face the facts, you're not from Turkey, you're from Scarborough.

........ Why is the only Asian depicted considered "weird"?... Even though that's totally wrong I still want to watch this show! LOL

Where are the Irish? If you really want to represent Toronto you need to get the people that put it on the map. Every single person here would have been a Nerd in highschool. This show should be called the lakeshore losers.

I'm more afraid that people won't know the show is made to be ironic...


or is it?

LOL of course there are no Indians because none of them are dumb enough to audition for this.

But seriously, did a network actually pick this up or what? How can you promote a show that is not even on the slate to get aired???

This crap is so waacckkk! I want to seriously punch all these douchbags in the face.

@Frank Staged or not it is another example of the Dumbing Down
of Toronto's as well as Canada's Multi Cultural Society and Respect and Tolerance of Others- These "Kids" are not From Toronto and do not Represent Toronto- I do not Believe that the Million who crashed their Website were all supporters of this "Show" as i did show this clip to many people who were all disgusted by it - Re Blaming these "kids" - the show is not Scripted so what they say is their own words = SAD

this show is going to rock.

....i want to poke that polish chick

Comparing a show like this to All In The Family??......... 'nuff said - I wont bother going in to details of "Worthwhile" efforts i may be involved with as They would be lost on anyone who would Defend this nonsense - I like a Good Laugh as much as anybody, but This is not Funny or "Entertaining" at all. We shall see if this show gets" picked up ". Facebook and Other Social Media Outlets helped Stop a Version of Fox News North from Airing in Canada That Stephen Harper was pushing for, I think this will be Much Easier to stop.

The budget is obviously very low, but I still wonder where they got ANY money to shoot this thing? They still had to pay their camera and edit people, right? Who put money into this?

It's not "racially" categorized.

It's ethnically categorized.

There's a difference.

Ethnically categorized according to who? Haha. Don't be pedantic, it won't get you anywhere!
