Is that not the most pitifully tenuous excuse for entertainment ever video-taped?

"that gOTTI lady screaming at her sullen sons who seem less than deprived."

The Smoking Gun has a nice little take-off on the reality show called, "Blowing Up Gotti". The "episodes" were taped during prison visits at John's federal residence. If you really want to see a dysfunctional family at play, look no further! Includes a free Eggplant Rollatini recipe!

Episode 1: Grandpa Blows A Gasket

Despite grandpa's suggestion that he pursue a legal career, little John says he'd rather be an athlete. The Dapper Don, however, doesn't want anyone in his family leading the degenerate life of a baseball or basketball player. Bristling, the lil' wiseguy announces that he'll instead opt for a less glamorous career. That sass doesn't sit well with the incarcerated hoodlum, who threatens the kid with bodily harm and tosses him from the visiting room. Raging at the child's bad attitude, Gotti blames his own wife Victoria: "That shit comes from your fucking mother, not from me," he tells his daughter.
