In fact, the first thing I thought after post 80 was, "forget that, hide your wives" which would have been my response if not for post 81. I wouldn't have said "yo wives" because I'm not on You Tube all that much and I wouldn't have drawn that reference off the top of my head. But when I read it I will admit it was the first thing that came to my mind.

Ralphie May and Lisa Lampanelli take it a little too far, IMO. But that's their goal I think, to numb the public of racial sensitivity and division. BTW, isn't 'Yo' more of a Jersey Shore thing these days?
