I'm sure many folks will say I'm being overly sensitive, but this really pisses me off. I grew up in a Sicilian family and have had to put up with the "oooh mafia" comments all my life. I usually just shrug them off, but seeing this ersatz pizza company selling their low-grade crap by trading on this stereotype is just too much.

What's next? Will they tell people that even Jews like their prices? Or maybe they can show Mexicans sneaking across the border to buy a Chipotle Chicken pizza.

It seems that even in these supposedly enlightened hyper-PC times, Sicilians are still expected to smile and play the mediterranean Stepin Fetchit for everyone's stupid ethnic jokes. I'm getting pretty fucking sick of it.
