This is amazing to me. I mean, who would have thought that Larry David's anal retentive dramatizations of his everyday reactions to life's situations could be so understood? I truly love the show for this reason but never imagined it would be literally helping others understand themselves and how they "fit" into our world.

This is a perfect example of how money can and will completely eradicate any sense of cultural pride. It isn't proprietary to African Americans (why do we make it seem this way?). This is evident across all cultures and races. People will do anything for a buck - even if it means selling out their own. I am assuming, however, that these "poor people doing stupid things" consented to the public display of their behavior. Some people, regardless of culture and race, do not care how they are perceived as long as they have their 15 seconds of fame. But the bottom line is that this is a morality issue. It is unfair to prey upon the uneducated - especially when you know exactly what you are doing.
