SOPRANOS ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE SUES TV SHOW New York, NY - (IGN) - People who sing so high up there you suspect their balls have been cut off sued the TV show The Sopranos in Federal Court yesterday for defamation. "It's a total misrepresentation," declared Al "High Note" Pussy. "They got us whackin' people. We don't whack people, we sing." "They're defamin' us," Tony "Screechy" Pavgotti said. "We live peaceful lives, we don' bother nobody, an' when we congregate, it's not at a strip club. When we congregate, it's a rehearsal or concert or somethin'." "Fuggetaboutit," added Pussy. The suit claims the show glorifies gangsters and mobsters at the expense of singers, especially opera singers. "I go for an audition, people're terrified. They think my violinist is gonna pull a gun outta his case," said Pavgotti. "My pa was a soprano, his pa before him, an' his, all the back to the old country. It's a family business. They got no right," Pussy said. The suit seeks an injunction against series, calling for it to be taken off the air until the name is changed. "They should change it to 'The Tenors'. That'd be accurate," Pavgotti said. "Tenors're wild," Pussy agreed. "One time this tenor, he didn't get along with the Conductor. They hurled threats at each other. Two days later, the Conductor's gone. I heard he turned up in Jersey, without his baton." Producer David Chase replied to questions about the suit. "Fuggetaboutit," he said. |
