Seriously? People need to stop being so offended. This latest story from MSN discusses Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito giving a speech to Rutgers University students about how the HBO hit series "The Sopranos" is guilty of stereotyping. "Alito complained that the hit HBO television drama not only associated Italian-Americans with the Mafia, but New Jerseyans, as well."
Well, Your Honor, its called entertainment. I'm pretty sure there isn't one person out there who, by watching "The Sopranos," is now under the impression that all Italian-Americans in North Jersey are mobsters. Again I ask, seriously? By your own suggestion however, I should assume that all women who live in NYC are bed-hopping shopoholics, all doctors in Seattle sleep together and have intra-hospital relations, all 20 somethings in Manahattan live in huge apartments and work in coffee shops and anyone who is the "boss" of an office must be horribly awkward and innapropriate.
Sure, that makes sense.
I hold my ground that its entertainment. How would he suggest they make a series about a mafia family that he doesn't find offensive?
Stop complaining.
