Has one heard of the new A & E reality TV show called 'Growing up Gotti', based on the remaining family members of the late mafia crime boss, John Gotti. Some of the comments on the thread linked to the message board 'Best Week Ever' are hilarous. Best Week Ever thread on 'Growing up Gotti' bestweekever.vh1.com/2004/08/growing_up_gott.htmlhere are the three grandsons of John Gotti ;D  |

That thread was a riot. These guys are strange, but as an Italian-American, I also get sick and tired of the same ol' "guido" stereotype that people try to pin on Italians. Many such people have probably never even encountered a typical Italian-American, who has absolutely nothing to do with the mob or any other criminal organization, and is a decent, hardworking citizen.

I agree, the Italian people have so much to offer and Hollywood just chooses to focus on the crime elements. 'Growing up Gotti' is the worst thing since Joey Buttafuco.  Joe Buttafuco on right.  |

<<the same ol' "guido" stereotype that people try to pin on Italians>.
I doubt that will change.its what sells newspapers,and makes Money.Most Italian American actor make their living playing crimminal's,and alot of Italian-Americans civilians as well as italians from Italy like the mafia in popular culture thing.
BTW..The gotti boys look like a couple of doofs.!

I think they're just trash and it sickens me how people idolize them and think they're cool when they're rolling in their 'blood money' and shoving it in people's faces. Love the snide remarks like 'this family isn't about hate and violence.. we don't get things done with violence' by Uncle Pete or whatever his name is.. How can he honestly say that with a straight face? My God. I hate the mafia and I am fully against it, especially as a Sicilian. They make Italians look bad. Scratch that.. they make the HUMAN RACE look bad and I have never seen a bigger group of spoiled brats in my life. Their mother should teach them some MANNERS. If I had kids they would NEVER speak like that. I know someone who personally kicked their asses. They squeezed my friend's sister's ass in Roosevelt Field mall and he wiped the floor with ALL THREE OF THEM. But I must call 'em when I see 'em. John is a hottie.  |

LOL is that actually a true story concerning those three hoods? Your friend beat them up? That's hilarious ;D. I seriously can't stand guidos like that. They make all Italian-Americans look bad. |

I think they are part Jewish from what I heard. The middle one looks just like his infamous grandfather.

Their mother's mother was Jewish. So she is half Jewish and half Italian just like I am. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell what she really looks like since she is so artificial.

That's really interesting! I would have never guessed that John Gotti Sr. would marry anyone who wasn't Italian. Interesting!!

They squeezed my friend's sister's ass in Roosevelt Field mall and he wiped the floor with ALL THREE OF THEM. Then when he realized who they were he called them up and apologized right away. What a tough guy. I really don't see why people dislike the Gottis so much, they're just kids. |
