From this year's Mummers Comics Brigade "Aliens of An Illegal Kind"

Generally, I avoid most things to do with Joey Vento; he does enough shameless publicity stunts to earn him his ignoramus ranking. This post isn’t about him, but it is about the Mummers and their embarrassing use of public dollars – in a time of financial crisis – to promote this kind of garbage.

A few people who watched this year's Mummers Parade took offense to Vento's starring role in a performance by Comics brigade B. Love Strutters titled "Aliens of an Illegal Kind."

The skit featured Vento popping out of the top of a float labeled "Gewizno's Steaks" with a "When ordering, speak English" sign. Vento waved a poster reading, "What?" and tossed fake cheesesteaks into the crowd.

Then an announcer for B. Love Strutters cried out, "Uh-oh, here comes the Border Patrol!" Club members wearing Texas-sized cowboy hats and brandishing wooden rifles pretended to hold back a rioting crowd of "immigrants" from storming the border "fences." As the immigrants burst forth, they traded in their country's flag for an American flag, and a Mummer dressed as President-elect Barack Obama handed out Green Cards.
