Sweet. I wonder if they have a video of white, heterosexual, middle class, male, that can relate to me on my ethnic level.


I tried it over and over and never once saw anyone "just like me" or anything close. I saw a lot of ladies that looked decades older and had the same interests as women my mother's age.

Sorry, but that's what you get for being one of a kind!

New Jersey Italian visitors? If you're going to follow up by employing stereotypical language, why not just call them Wops and be done with it?

They never use that term in movies or TV that use such stereotypical language. I suspect both Mario and Luigi would take exception to it.
