'Onion': Gandolfini Capped in Village Red-Sauce Joint
June 28, 2007
According to the new Onion, Sopranos star James Gandolfini was shot in a Greenwich Village restaurant "by a fan unable to accept the open-ended conclusion of the series finale that aired earlier this month."
"Eight years of my life, and a f****** artsy cut to black?" the shooter told police. "It was eating me up inside."
The Onion--home of beloved headlines such as "White House Had Prior Knowledge of Cheney Threat"--reports that there'd been several attempts on Gandolfini's life since the finale, including a detonated car bomb (Gandolfini had fortunately remote-started his car), and an attempted garroting as he rode in a cab.
Eyewitnesses to the killing were mostly unimpressed, calling it "cheap," "predictable" and "devoid of imagination."
