I am of the product of Italian parents and find this sort of thing demeaning. In fact I wish this guy who plays the Godfather here in TV would knocked it off. I wish television would stop showing Jersey Shore and Jerseylicious because both show are misleading. And I wish pizza companies would lose the little italian guy with a mustache and Joy Behar and Regis stop telling people they are Italian However Giada can continue advertising her ethnticity and the wonderful Italian food she prepares on food.com. Finally Ba da Bing is stupid and not cool at all . That's my story and I am sticking to it
