Lee Hotti and the New Jersey Guidos - Perth-WRX.com

The Lee Hotti Phenomenon has been whipping around the net for the last couple of weeks, so I didn’t want you boys to miss out. Besides, I know you lot aren't scared of the odd racial stereotype (Macs, chooco's, skips, azns unite!). I am sure this is a prime bit of trolling, but an absolute classic laugh.

It started with a simple photo posted to an internet forum just over 2
weeks ago. Now, the thread has been visited over 1.78MILLION times and
internet users all around are familiar with 'MarlboroMan', 'LeeHoTTi',
and the 'New Jersey clubbing guidos'.

It all started when a poster (whom we presume to be one of the young
Gotti-wannabe guidos pictured in the photo) posted on the Sherdog
Martial Arts Forums a 'Pic of me and mah boys up in Jersey', hanging out
at a club 'right before UFC 56'.

Quite innocent in itself, but it seems the young lads' fashion-sense has
captured international attention. For the boys are wearing
similar-looking striped shirts (quite stylish on their own, but not when
you're having your photo taken with 7 other similarly-attired guys), a
few of them appear to be wearing their mom's earrings, the majority of
them appear to be sporting over-done fake-tans, all-but-1 appear to have
spent hours in the bathroom plucking their eyebrows, and they all have
the same I've-got-1-bottle-of-MegaHold-hair-gel-in-my-hair hairstyle.

When you put it all together, it's quite a sight.

Fashion trends come and go, and I'm sure we can all look back at our
yearbook photos and say "what was I thinking?" and wish someone had told
us at the time just how ridiculous we looked.

Thanks to the power of the internet, millions of people have gladly
crawled out of the woodwork to share their opinion with our young guido
friends.

The original photo has spawned hundreds of discussions on unrelated
forums around the world, hundreds of photochops, multiple compilation
video-montages, eBay auctions, dozens of YNTMND's, and even its own site
, dedicated to LeeHoTTi who is 'the most heavily tanned & plucked one'
in the original photo.

It also had its own Wikipedia page until a few days ago, but it was taken down for

fear that the Guidos actually do have New Jersey mafia connections.

Enjoy!
