or anything that denigrates Italians,”

I guess that the Christopher Walken-Dennis Hopper bit from True Romance is off the dance card, then...

Good for them. Hollywood has immortalized the moronic, criminal Italians over the upstanding Americans among them.

That’s an offer you can’t refuse.

The Godfather does not really denigrate Italians, let’s not be extreme. However, the choice to exclude it from such a festival is a good one.

I’ll take a mobster Godfather over any Democrat pol any day of the week. They’re more honorable.

Good. That stuff doesn’t belong at a Catholic feast.

The 2016 decree was added to its vendor rules — and store owners in the area were told that if they want to still peddle the items, they must only be sold inside their shops.

And if they want to sell it inside their shops?

"Nice little shop yuz gots here... Wouldn't want anything to happen to it, would yuz?"

Regards,

Ultimately these movies are crap.

Yeah, well made and entertaining, people like it, but it’s just melodramatic entertainment.

Worse are all the movies and TV shows it spawned.

They’ve got a point. The longest running, most vicious crime cartel in history is the democrat party. And, they’ve murdered more people (abortion) than the mafia ever dreamed.

Nobody can sell anything with ‘The Godfather’ or mobsters

Sweet no democrat propaganda posters.

Stupid. The Godfather is a big money maker to this day.

The mob is not a joke, but many Italians laugh at it. That’s what the shirts are about. It’s a kind of laughing at the indescribably horrific. There’s no explaining why it’s funny.

The audacity of it, maybe. The ludicrous idea these criminals have that criminals are the good guys, or something like that. Or maybe because movies are made about them, and not about the people who worked their way up from nothing to become important people in their society.

In any case, it’s a wonderful feast. I go every year. There’s really nothing like it. Just don’t go on the last Saturday evening of the feast or you won’t even be able to walk.
