LOL man. I just watched that episode yesterday, and I was going to do the exact same thing and post about it here.
That moment angered me so much. It was so pointless and stupid I think. I liked the whole sidestory of everyone treating Finn nice because he's Meadow's boyfriend, and how he's scared of them. But I hated Vito turning gay.
What I would have done was have Finn do something to Vito to piss him off. Then he would surprise him with the baseball tickets. Because I didn't like the whole thing in the car with Vito.
But that's my opinion. I think season 5 is great though! My favorite episode so far was the one with the Tony/Adriana car wreck.
