Stuff White People Like weighs in on "The Wire" just in time for the finale, (which I won't give away, except to say it brought to an end one of the best television shows I've ever seen).

"If you need to impress a white person, tell them you are from Baltimore. They will immediately ask you about The Wire and how accurate it is. You should confirm that it is “like a documentary of the streets,” the white person will then slowly shake their head and say “man” or “wow.” You will be seen in an entirely new light."
