Is Dave Skylark's line containing "Mangia. We're the people. Give us the sh-t." a reference to something?

Though my girlfriend disagrees, I am fairly confident this is reference to Salò, the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), an Italian art film that depicts characters eating feces.

Here's a YouTube link to the specific scene.

This is also a reference to The Sopranos where, after a long night gambling and drinking, Paulie Walnuts exclaims on their way to the diner in the early AM, I am going to "mange and sleep for the next 18 hours."

I think this is how the Amazon Prime CC spelled it. I will try to follow up with a specific episode number. It happens when they are dropping Tony Blundetto (Steve Buscemi) off at work at Kim's laundry.

I just think its meant to be funny, I know that mangia means 'to eat' in Italian.

Is he just jokingly trying to say we the people just want the shock value of the shit. the tabloid shit. I think he by saying 'give us some shit' it just means more of the same shock value headlines they had been doing.

Its absolutely 100% a reference to "Salò, the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975). The irony is that "The Interview" no different..just more of the same crap shoveled into our faces :)) and we continue to eat it.
