Chicago's The Wiener Circle

I came across this clip last week, and it's been haunting me since then. I don't have time now to digest all of the thoughts that have been running through my head, but I know it has really affected me and at some point I'd like to sort all of these thoughts out. I also want to note that the person who posted this to YouTube added the beginning statement "This is what Chi-town is all about" and certainly the This American Life producers don't endorse that view.

Judge for yourself.
