Mob Wives

I finally watched a full episode of the Vh1 show Mob Wives last night.  It was the one where Sammy the Bull's daughter is writing a memoir and goes back to her old neighborhood trying to bring back her memories of her childhood and what not.  I appreciated that she seemed sincere when she talked about the mistakes she made in her youth by selling drugs and getting involved with criminals.  She seemed genuinely sad when she said that most of the guys she knew as a child were now either dead or in jail as a result of being in the mob.

Now let me tell you what I did NOT appreciate..  I don't know the woman's name.  The one with the long black hair and bad bangs with the pig nose.  The one who throws her drama at her teenage son like a coked up maniac.  She's disgusting.  The scene shows her reacting to the news when the FBI made the biggest mob bust in NY/NJ history.  She starts flipping out like a lunatic and is mad and crazy.  I want to slap her.  The way she's carrying on, one would think that the FBI were the bad guys.  Guess what, you ignorant ass? When you get involved with murderous criminals that fuck up people's lives for money, eventually you're gonna get what's coming to you.  Your hideous furs, obnoxious jewelry, and ugly gaudy home decor were all bought with blood money.  Money stolen from hard working families who's husbands (or probably in some cases, wives?) got in over their heads.

I had a very different reaction when I saw the breaking news flash across all the channels that day.  I was so excited!  I hoped and prayed that the lowlives that have made my life hell for the past several years were arrested and humiliated in that bust.  I hope they are in prison and rotting.  I reeeeally hope that the prison situation is not like it's portrayed in the mob movies-- where the prison guards and friends smuggle in good food and drink and treat them like heroes.  I really hope they get pushed around some in there.  I hope that some rival gangs within the system fuck with them.  I hope their wives are miserable at home and are forced to sell all of their expensive luxuries or turn them over to the FBI.  I hope they have to move in with their parents, or tiny little dirty apartments.  I hope they all rot.
