Ever notice that on the news they tend to interview the ones with bad teeth or the worst grammar??

Who pulls over on the highway to pick up a random object laying on the ground?

Edit: Nevermind, it was McGrath Highway. You can stop and get out pretty easily along parts of it.

It's just like that big whale video three years ago. Accents, swearing and then finding out drug use and criminal backgrounds. Then again the whole lovable loser working class Boston image has faded significantly with time. The Simpsons Boston Episode was 100% spot on. Bart thought it would be like lower working class while there just sees Academia.

A long time ago I accidentally was sent a printer for the elementary school a mile down the street. I did the right thing and gave it back. To try to hold this banner for money is pretty bad.

People calling these guys working class are clueless and clearly are not from Boston. These guys aren’t working class, that’s actually the opposite of what they are. They live at home in the house they grew up in, and haven’t held a job for more than a month. One of them is a deadbeat dad, the grandfather of his child called one of the radio shows and said he’s never paid a dime in child support. To call them working class is Offensive! They don’t work! They’re living in their own movie, go check out their Facebook pages. The real Boston working class are the people that work in the trade unions, drive trucks, work at the airport, drive trains and buses; they take care of their families. They may not have a fancy college education, and They might live pay check to paycheck but they get up every day and go to work and they don’t complain. They raise their kids to have respect and to be hard workers. Sure they might have the same accent and same attitude, but Boston Working Class should never be associated with criminals like these guys.

There's no comparison - those guys weren't looking for fame, and their criminal pasts were over opiate habits that they had kicked years ago.
