I agree...CNN is absolutely, totally clueless...Piers Morgan Live is showing footage from The Sopranos of Tony's panic attacks, which mimicked heart attacks.

Insensitive, boorish, uncalled for....add your adjective here.

RIP, Mr. Gandolfini. You deserve much, much better than the "tribute" CNN is paying you.
