Potentially Funny Vid: Bensonhurst 11210

January 14th, 2009 · 5 Comments

This is actually a pretty old vid that kind of makes fun of a certain group in Bensonhurst. Since we are part Italian-American (and it is the part of our heritage we identify with most strongly), we don’t have a problem posting it, but we will warn those who might be sensitive to ethnic stereotyping, even if it’s done as comedy, to skip it.

    That was hysterical! It’s very important – no matter what we are – to be able to laugh at ourselves. We’re all in trouble if we lose sight of that.
