Apparently, the town of Bloomfield, NJ is having issues letting "The Soprano's" shoot the final scene in their town because the show depicts Italian-American's in a negative way. WHATEVER ASSHOLES!! It's a TV show! I'm of Italian decent and I don't give a fuck! People need to be more relaxed about things and not take everything so damn personal!!! On a separate note, has anyone else seen the preview for the show "Drive" on Fox? It seems to be loosely based on my favorite movie (and my blog's name sake), "The Cannonball Run". From what I understand, it's not just a cross country race to get $32 million, but for some people an answer to a question, like "My wife is missing. What happened to her?". Since it's obviously going to be about driving fast and have some drama thrown in, I may have to give it a shot.

I saw the commercial you're talking about...seemed like a cross between "Cannonball Run" & "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" to me.
I wonder about people that bitch about how tv shows put their ethnicity in a bad light. People just need to lighten up. You don't see me putting down Earl as putting white trash in a bad light.
People have to complain about something! Never fails!
Never saw the preview for "Drive" but I couldn't agree with you more about the Sopranos.
The Sorpranos does stereotype Italians. So do movies like The Godfather and Goodfellas. I'm Italian (from South Philly, no less) and I love those movies...does that make me a bad Italian?
Kath - I agree.
Fuzz - I knew you'd understand.
Green Eyes - Unfortunately.
Jeff & Fred - I live in NJ and I'm Italian. I'm not upset about it!
