"Growing Up Gotti"

Where do I even begin with this topic? First of all let me state that I am a firm hater of "reality" television. I think the majority of reality tv just promotes immoral lifestyles, and teaches that there are no bad results to living these immoral lifesyles. Now that I have said that, let's get down to the topic at hand. "Growing up Gotti." Why is there a reality tv show about the Gotti family. This family should only feel ashamed for who they are, and the last thing they should get is their own tv show. We have truly reached a horrible place in America when we give notorious crime families their own tv shows. What are we going to see next? Maybe a sex offender show, where they all live in a house together and plan out their attacks on poor unsuspecting children? Who can really say. Growing up Gotti shows us that crime does in fact pay. The show stars Victoria Gotti, the daughter of the Gambino crime boss John Gotti, and her three sons. John Gotti Sr. died in prison serving a life sentence with no chance or parole. After the death of John Gotti Sr., John Gotti jr took over the business. Gotti jr was brought to trial on racketeering, gambling, loan sharking, illegal weapons possession, tax evasion, fraud, and murder back in 1998. How does this family history warrant a television show? Why do we feel the need to plaster the four Gotti's in their jewels and mansion all over the tv? Maybe we should be using this time to show video taken of John Gotti Sr. rotting in prison until his death from cancer. Maybe we could better use this time to show the pictures and videos of crime scenes of executions carried out by the Gotti family. This family is a disgrace to humanity, and should all be locked up behind bars, or at the least have their many possesions taken from them. This show, and the Gotti family, make me truly sick.

maybe we should take away their ill-gotten gains. but should the grand-children really be disgraced and/or locked up because of what their grandfather did?

Nope the grand children should not have to be locked up for their families past, but the fact that they are getting money off of this show because their last name is Gotti and notorious with crime is wrong.

Eric, you should start your own reality show called "I'm half Asian and I am cool with that."
