Don’t Stop… Beating a dead horse
Just when you thought it was safe to stop thinking about the Sopranos finale, Hillary Clinton and the Pittsburgh Pirates pull you back in.
In a Six Feet Under half-life I too had forgotten about the debatable ending to the Sopranos. I myself thought it was brilliant and happy to let it go after a week or so of debate. But here we are 10 days later and the parodies have begun. First we have Hillary Clinton who actually brought the funny back to political advertising with this.
Ok, pretty cool she got Johnny Sack to show up for this but did she have to bring Celion Dion into the mix? It’s like what do an open bar, getting to second base with Angelina Jolie and having your toenails pulled off with pliers have in common? Well the first two are pretty damn awesome and the last one sucks more ass than getting to second base with Dick Cheney. Lady lose the Dion, win my vote.
The second Sopranos parody is a little more obscure. In attempts to make their fans forget the team is in last place, The Pittsburgh Pirates created this little ditty.
No, that’s not Groucho Marx impersonating Mr. Potato Head, it’s a pierogie. Those two are part of PNC Park’s nightly pierogie race yet another distraction from the fact the Pirates have had 14 straight losing seasons. And I always thought starches could parallel park.

[...] No word on what sort of role it will be – I wonder if she’ll still be on one side of the law or the other? How awesome would it be if James Gandolfini Aida Turturro, or Lorraine Bracco were to show up in a cameo? Or if Tina Fey wrote in a character named Meadow or AJ that she got to slap the shit out of? Somehow I suspect that would be more satisfying to the audience than to Falco herself.) Let’s just hope they don’t parody the famous “fade to black? series ending of The Sopranos, we all know all too well that has been done to death already. [...]
