Mobster fish tale irks advocacy group. It's a cartoon comedy about gangsters by the people who did Shrek and still something called "The Italic Institute" (why not the Bold Italic Institute?) manages to get upset by it.
Apparently it reinforces stereotypes about Italians being mobsters, though what with this and all the attempted furor around the Sopranos, Italians are going to start getting sterotyped as a bunch of thin-skinned whiners.
Actually this article is good publicity, because I'd not heard of Shark Tale before, but given it's pedigree and a quick look at the cast (Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renée Zellweger, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Martin Scorsese, Michael Imperioli, Vincent Pastore) I'm quite looking forward to it now.
