We know that we’re mostly celebrating No-Bra Day here at COED, but we’d also like to give some thought to Columbus Day. The only problem is that we’re kind of scared because that’s kind of a minefield on most college campuses. That’s why we’re handing things over to a great American by the name of Tony Soprano.
To set the suburban scene: Tony and his wife Carmela are trying to explain the world to their addled son AJ, who has some kind of hippie teacher talking about Columbus being a slave driver, so the impressionable idiot wants to lecture his parents about how Columbus was out to “subgate” the indigenous peoples. Tony Soprano is the kind of loving father who’s willing to take the time to keep his kid from looking more stupid than usual…
Put yourself in Columbus’ shoes and see what he went through. People thought the world was flat, for cryin’ out loud. Then he ends up on an island with a bunch of naked savages on it, and that took a lot of guts. Remember when we went to Florida? The heat, and those bugs?…He discovered America, is what he did! He was a great Italian explorer! And in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero! End of story!
Of course, it sounds better from Tony himself–so click on over, because you don’t need Drunk History when you have Tony Soprano around to explain it all…
