Very nice, these fake works upset me as well.

As a foreigner I do not understand how those made up nonsensical words (common in coffee, car model names, appliances, websites), or that stereotypical "mamma mia i speak-a english-a language" intonation aren't considered on par with making fun of the Asian stereotypical pronunciation or making up words like "Ching Chong Pling Plong" to sell something.

Any native American can help me understand the difference between making fun of Asians/Blacks/other groups and italo-americans?
