Guys, cut those kids some slack. They dont act like mobsters or anything like that, they are typical kids who were unfairly thrown into the limelight by an irresponsible mother who wanted to pimp out her fathers name.
They were young high school kids when that show aired.
I dont think the kids are a disgrace to italians, i think the jersey shore and the real housewives of new jersey are a disgrace.
I used to eat at angelo's in NYC, now that the owner is on real housewives acting like an idiot, I'll go eat in the bronx.
Fwiw
My buddy did time with the father( carmine agnello )totally cool dude and was embarrassed beyond belief when that show was on.
