I like to watch awful "reality" shows because they're obviously scripted to a pretty heavy extent and it makes for a very surreal experience. Particularly the ones about trashy people are interesting. There's a show I watch sometimes called My Big Fat Gypsy wedding and it's pretty ridiculous how these people act and dress. It's also very sad to me because the girls only care about getting married and the wedding day as basically the only thing that will ever be important in their lives. I've never known any Gyspsy/Romani/Travelers/whatever, but if my experience with shitty reality TV is any indication, it seems to be a pretty fucked up culture. >>75066 A similar thing happened with the Jews. When they first established communities in Europe, many times they were forbidden from performing any type of proper job, which left them with money-lending as their only source of income. As such, hundreds of years of handling money, loaning money, and collecting interest became a skill among the community, which simultaneously earned them a reputation as greedy. Sad cycle and I would bet it's the same situation with the Gypsy. Don't let them perform any type of job so they beg until the cultural skill becomes begging.
