Toolbag Network Living Up to Its Name

Toolbag Network Living Up to Its Name
We've previously commented on Bravo being the Toolbag Network. They're clearly listening, and even turning it up a notch with the men on the new Real Housewives of New Jersey with "Steve" (top) in Ed Hardy t-shirt and hat, and "Joe" in 5'5", spiked hair, and screeching eagle-skull t-shirt (bottom).

We're sort of wondering if these guys are real. They are such toolbag archetypes we're not sure.
