Fatawesome are a sketch group from Boston. We've featured a bunch of their videos in the past, but you may not have known that they also have a pretty awesome webcomic. In this week's comic, we learn that changing the location can change a lot about a story.

Yeah that clears it up a bit. I didn't know about Guido, so I just saw a princess wishing a prince would come and then attacking the prince when she sees he's a different color. So don't get all high and mighty on me, assholes.

"so, what if you guys just give the web comics a rest?"

Speak for yourself, I'm glad Cracked is branching back out from all the list-based s**t. Not that the lists are bad in themselves, but the site needs variety.

Funny stuff! I can understand if those outside of America didn't get this, but I'm surprised at the Americans who didn't get it. Maybe it's because I watch too much television, though. Now that I think about it, I don't personally know anyone who does the guido thing in Alabama. I'm sure it's only a matter of time...

"metrosexual [is the] polite term for men/women who dress in ways that people of their gender do not traditionally dress"

Not quite. It's a term for men (and men only - the term has nothing to do with women) who tend to spend more than the standard amount of time or money on their appearance, buying designer clothes, styling products, skin and hair care, gym memberships, all that sort of thing. Of course, one could easily argue that the amount spent on designer or designer knock-off clothing, lip gloss and hairstyling products qualify these guys as 'metrosexual', but not quite "if the joke is that people from Jersey are gay...or metro-sexual" as though one has anything to do with the other. One refers to sexuality, and one refers basically to how much money someone spends on their image.

Look, point is, you didn't get the joke, and that's fine. You didn't know what 'metrosexual' meant, either, and now you do. So that's awesome, you learn something new every day. But for me to keep going isn't going to somehow retroactively make the comic any funnier, so I'm just gonna leave it. Though I am going to Google 'bro-mo', because I have no freaking idea what that is. So perhaps I'll learn something new, too.

Also... "sweedos". Ha ha!

Just goes to show that even though a subsection of one race can have a really obnoxious subculture, there are those among every race and creed willing to follow them.

Actually, I'm pretty sure "guido" refers to a certain kind of Italian-American (generally American-born) punk that is often found of the east coast. Particularly in urban New Jersey.

This character appears to be a particularly recent (and metrosexual) version of the guido stereotype. Probably no less high-strung and macho, though.

Regarding the racism, I think it's fair to point out that a lot of people who possess a shallow infatuation with Italian culture tend to style themselves this way. I like to think of them as being to Italy as weeaboos are to Japan.

Found a link that might clear things up for you if you are a tad slow on the uptake.
