  • I've mentioned this here before but it appears to me that the US has a strange predilection for making cultural heroes and icons out of some of it's worst villains. From Billy the Kid, Jessie James, Capone, Giotti, even Manson. et al. The Gangster rap thing seems to have even made it into an artform.

  • What do you expect from those spaghettis eaters, they are so corrupt they voted for a bigoted mafiozzi for president. To think Italy was once the Roman Empire is funny.

    Rap is more popular overseas than it is in America, heck most of our shit entertainment is more popular over seas than here.

    As far as Italy goes, corruption and crime is and has been the governing force there for decades.
