A Chicago based Italian American legal group filed suit Thursday against the producers of HBO’s mob show ”The Sopranos.” The American Italian Defense Association announced in a press conference Thursday that it seeks no money or content changes to the show. The group, Reuters reports, wants the Cook County court to proclaim that the series violates the Illinois Constitution’s guarantee of individual dignity.
”We’re looking for a vindication of our reputation,” said Theodore Grippo, chairman of the association. ”We realize that we can’t stop the free speech rights of TimeWarner. We’re not looking for money. We want a moral victory here, we want to balance things.” Time Warner Entertainment, which is named in the suit, is a division of AOL Time Warner (EW.com’s parent company).
