"Sopranos" Fans Whack Creator's Wiki Entry

Posted Jun 12th 2007 1:55PM by TMZ Staff

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.

76. Also, the episode before said that he asked, "What does it feel like to be whacked?" and teh other guy says "It doesn't, everything goes black." I personally think that maybe he died [in my last comment] but it went black because he said that you dont hear or notice anything.
This is written by a 12 year old kid. So please dont start cursing me out for my opinion,,,or anyone elses.

77. We can all speculate forever, unless someone in authority tells us something different,it's all left up to our own interpretation. I, personally agree with #49 & #65. Phil, who had the hit out on Tony was whacked, so, no contrat existed on Tony's life anymore. He was relatively safe as N.Y. wanted to make up with N.J. and cease the hositities and turned on their own boss, Phil. Life goes on. It doesn't ever get tied up in a neat package for anyone and is always left with pieces dangling. In the alternative, you can believe that it all went "black" as Tony got whacked, whether the onion rings were halos or bullet holes, but we'll never know unless someone tells us for certain.

78. The real question is, "Does CHACHI love Joanie?". And did Chachi kill Tony, because he didn't like Journey?

Don't phuque wid Chachi folks.
