    In reply to Real World D.C. Trailer Points to a Season of Irritatingly Earnest Political Debates
    How old do you have to be to age out of the "Real World" cast? 24? Those are the youngest-looking kids I've ever seen.

    This seems like a throw back to old school real world. I'm just hoping they don't have a contrived job that forces them to spend time together and be horrible, horrible employees.

    Don't knock these people. Heidi and Spencer last night became the only people in the history of celebrity to disgust the entire cast and crew of "The Insider." When you've got Lara tossing her hands up and offering a "what the fuck is this?" look you know you've made an impact.

    FWIW, Brooklyn was like this back in the 1980s. Then they all moved away. But I have memories. Like in Bensonhurst in the 1980s.

    One thing a friend of mine liked to do was to drive down to 86th Street on a weekend night and drive around blasting Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Cure, The Police, etc... And man, did we get called "faggot" a lot... A few cans and pieces of garbage tossed at the car.

    Ahhh, youth in Brooklyn in the 1980s!

    Ode to a Guido:

    With hair looking all gelled up and spiky
    Your name is probably Joey or Mikey

    Or Cousin Paulie or Anthony
    (Though you pronounce it Ant + Knee.)

    Everyone else calls you a guido,
    but you think you're all pretty neat-o.

    Your tan's slathered on, your T is too tiny
    and for some strange reason your jeans are all shiny.

    And by the way, nobody believes the jacket's Armani
    It's made in a sweatshop by an Azerbaijani.

    You keep protein powder over your fridges
    and come Friday, cross Manhattan's tunnels and bridges

    to hit the clubs and Gallagher's 2000
    before returning to your house and

    ordering up some eggplant parm
    you're a simple guy, you mean no harm.

    Catcalling to every girl within earshot
    telling her what she needs is what you've got

    She's getting away! There's no time to be subtle!
    Better yet, you're on to the next before you hear her rebuttal.

    You're oblivious to the city's despise
    and second person plural is always "Youse guys".

    Wow oh wow, your friend has on a nifty striped shirt
    and if someone spills beer on it, they're gonna get hurt.

    Hey look at that! A fancy gold chain!
    Does the 7-pound cross cause you neck strain?

    Does it remind you of Jesus' cross?
    Was it a gift from a Mafia boss?

    Come summer you'll be at the Jersey Shore
    causing a ruckus with girls dressed as whor...nevermind.

    But you just want to meet a nice gal
    to make her your wife. You'll find her! You shall!

    She'll have bangs so high and nails like talons
    and she'll spend half your paycheck at the local salons.

    She’ll send four kids down her birth canal
    Before leaving you for your cousin Sal.

    But tonight is for partying, hell yeah muthafuckas
    and inspiring jealousy in the rest of us suckas. #mtv

Seriously, I know there has been a lot of jokes at Wildwood's expense on here but their people look down right civilized compared to what’s going on with this show....I’ll take drunk Irish over obnoxious Italian any day- at least their looks natural #mtv

    I can't believe they actually used the word guido in the promo. Italian-Americans are the last okay ethnic group to openly mock. Case in point: The Sopranos. #mtv

    @yourfriendandneighbor: um no as a Pole we are not only openly mocked, we get late night jokes told about us all the time.

    But if you read down you will see there is a big discussion going on about guido, and general consensus is, its a descriptive term of one group of people (who might not even be italian, there are plenty of non-italian guidos out there), not a slur against a entire race. #mtv
