I totally object to that and any and all MTV reality/lifestyle programming.

I object to Martino more than I object to this guy.

He is not holding himself out to be a real pimp anymore than the Seinfeld soup shop owner is held out to be a real Nazi.

Get over yourself, Martino

Maybe the word has evolved from its original meaning to now being a synonym for flamboyant.
It totally has. And does anyone really think that using the word 'Pimp' means you're in favor or even indifferent to abuse of women?
That's overthinking things by a lot IMO.




btw, Tattaglia's a pimp!

Sure, but dressing like one is a little different.

Watching his video, Rally Ebenezer Scrooge is funny.

Well he's certainly dressing like something. I'm not sure it's strictly a pimp even though many are going to use that word
whether they mean it literally or more generally as a synonym for flamboyant.

I don't think of him as "The Mets Rally Pimp" so much as "The Mets Rally Mark Boland."

Look at these Mets going the other way. I think I might cry.

I didn't associate the clothing with a "pimp" until Martino did so.
