Anyway, I think it's hysterical. They're self-labeled
*SNIP*. I'm a self-labeled
*SNIP*. We're all something or other.
I don't think it's at all offensive because I don't think that the show is attempting to label all Italian Americans as being in any way similar to these protein-chomping lipgloss-wearing greasy douchebags.
The fact that 99% of Italian Americans are perfectly upstanding doesn't make these idiots any less douchey any more than it makes John Gotti more respectable. Every population has it's outliers. Can't we make fun of them all together?
Honestly, while MTV apparently tried to get an all Italian American cast (a mistake, IMO), there are LOTS of people in that area that pick up the
*SNIP* lifestyle without being of that lineage. It's a geographical phenomenon, not really an ethnic phenomenon. I've met Anglo-Saxon, Persian, and Indian fist-pumping collar-popping Staten Island fuckwads too.
