Then you'll just have to kill Pitbull and assume his identity, presumably.

Willing to kill is one thing. Willing to assume Pitbull's identity? Quite another.
Dude, have you seen that Bud Lite ad? Pitbull has the power to turn regular attractive bar women into different attractive bar women. He's magical.

Pitbull was almost a good sport about it but then he pretended there was anyone to actually give a shit about him in Alaska. I hope a polar bear peed on him.

For those wondering who Pitbull is, he's the guy from the Dr. Pepper commercials. (That nagging question during those commercials, "Why should I care about this random guy singing flanked by Dr. Pepper trucks?" finally answered! Sorta.

the answer is apparently "plow forward"
and yeah i mean sure pitbull is cuban and stuff but i dont think a conversation about a kind of well-off white guy who writes for upper-middle-class sites and he's mocking a business that is traditionally seen as trashy and this cuban musician, i dont think its fair to bring the "r word" into that
he'd also probably say "pleb" instead of "prole"

Also, I can't help but picture him as Hannibal and the rest of SA as a cross between Murdock and drunk B.A. Baracus.
