I think that this is VERY funny!! I nearly DIED laughing the first time I saw this, but everybody disagrees and hates this video for a poor portrayal of the Greek people. I do think that this video satires the Turkish Gypsies as opposed to Greek people.I'm not racist, I'm not homophobic and I'm not hateful in any way, but I personally thought this was one of the most HILARIOUS things I have ever seen. There is a fine line between politically incorrect humor and outright hatred and offense.

That's nothing! You should see the sketch about Italians at the Olive Garden:

It's not overly racist, I can't even recognize any Greek mannerisms or stereotypes. But you should here what the Germans think of the Greeks!

The greek one was really bad. The Olive Garden one was hallarious. They nailed your typical Jersey/New York Italian family.

This is worse than the Greek one in my opinion, but this one isn't full of hate comments :P (mainly because it's actual jew stereotypes)
