"Sopranos" Fans Whack Creator's Wiki Entry

We all know that a lot of "Sopranos" fans thought that the series ended on a terrible note -- but taking a hit out on creator David Chase's Wikipedia entry? Oh marone!

TMZ was checking out Chase's Wiki page this morning, and noticed that the first line read, "David Chase ... is a homosexual American television writer." Now we're all for the gays, but the sexual-orientation thing seemed odd, since Chase has been married to the same woman for over twenty years.

Well, it turns out that the entry was "vandalized" by some Wiki thugs, which then caused the Wikipedia folks to clamp down immediately, disallowing any changes to the page. Wikipedia didn't comment on the changes in Chase's entry, but it won't be available again for editing until next Monday.

Yesterday, in an interview with a New Jersey paper, Chase said that he wasn't trying to "[mess] with" fans, just trying to entertain them with the provocative ending, which concluded the series in nearly ten seconds of black screen.

16. All the options are open, yes he may have been whacked....but Chase is just giving potential plot lines....so you can think what you want but you can not be sure.

Clearly the potential for a series of movies or what not are left available.

Silvo is not dead....and chase said he would not want to write a story without him in it.

18. The most disturbing thing about this is that there actually people still out there who use the auspice of homosexuality as a way to "whack" / insult someone else. I'm not even sure what to call that: immature? unevolved? outright stupid? It's disrespectful on more levels than just toward one person.

19. See, the scene with Meadow not being able to back in properly was so we would have time to notice that she kept almost hitting a white SUV.... the same white SUV Phils wife was driving when someone came up and shot him in front of her and their two little grand children. When Meadow finally enteres the diner, do you think she killed him in front of his whole family? I think so!

20. I think everyone should boycott HBO. This ending was the worst thing I ever saw. If HBO starts to lose big $$$$$ than they might think twice before ever having something like this happen again.

21. The ending was pure genius. It goes back to what he was saying to Bobby when you die you see blackness. Also, sometimes when it ends it just ends unexpectedly and quick. How appropriate to end Tony's life without this grand build up and and to end the show this same way-cut to darkness it's over and when it's over for you don't know what happens next.

22. It's not that it was a BAD ending... but the 6th season was not THAT great to begin with compared to the rest of the seasons. All the fans were already feeling let down but kept going oh they are just building something up! Something great is going to happen... and then NOTHING. Just black screen? Anything would have been better than that.

24. Didn't anyone else realize that the "onion rings" represented bullet holes? The last thing Tony said was "I ordered something for the whole table" (not realizing it was the massacre to follow) and he, Carmela and AJ had the onion rings. I, too, agree that Chase had Meadow live on, since she did NOT have the onion rings.

25. How would you have ended it any of you?? Do you think you could have come up with a ending that would have pleased everyone?? I think everyone had to many expectations and that is why you are all so dissapointed. If you would watch it with a open mind and look at the full circle it has made you will see the conclusion right before your eyes. I dont see all these online critics making big bucks for coming up with something better.. I thought it was great. Am sad to see it over and will miss the show!!!. The reason I am not dissapointed is because I had no expectations.. just waited to see what Chase had it store and I think he did it as well as he could considering what was left to work with. If your imaginations are so vast use it to come up with your own ending.. I have. So Long Soprano's.. I hope to see you again in the future and maybe thats what the last song stood for.. I wont stop believing..

26. He is a jackass. All the blogs are revolting. Who ends a show like that? Worst since Dallas IMO.

27. Okay, I love the show, but someone who is a real fan, please give me your interpetation of the ending.

28. The last seen was OF Tony’s eyes, not THROUGH Tony’s eyes…he was not whacked

29. After thinking about it I am not so pissed anymore. The snap black out could have been made a fade to black to make it more palatable.

The fact is that so many pf us have problems with thier cable company ie: COMCAST. Most Comcast users have regular 10 second backhouts 2 times a day. The frustration of being forced crappy cable services should be our outrage. Oh.. maybe the blackout is Toni got contol of Comcast and wacked us all out while suckering us out of a C note once a month.

30. I'm a Sopranos junkie, but exactly how is it news that some retard changed a Wikipedia entry?

Oh well, at least you're not writing about uber-retard Paris Hilton again.
