This is unbelievable. The Chicago-based American Italian Defense Association is suing Time-Warner, the company behind HBO and The Sopranos, claiming that "the program violates the Illinois Constitution's guarantee of individual dignity."

The Sopranos is a show about men in the Mafia in Northern Jersey and how their mobster lifestyles affect those around them. The show has never claimed to depict the quintessential American Italian experience.

I feel far more insulted by the American Italian Defense Association that they would imply that I could be so easily influenced and have so little mind of my own that I would think that every single Italian-American is a gangster because I watch The Sopranos.
