Radio Shack is a front for the mob.  Think about it for a little bit—who goes to Radio Shack?  For your component needs, you can buy the same stuff at Best Buy or Circuit City for a third of the cost.  How the heck do they stay in business?  And have you noticed that all of the people working there are middle-aged men wearing slacks and ties with no real knowledge of any of the products and have less customer service than your cell phone provider?  Sure, every once in a while you get someone working there under the age of 35 but they only work the mall branches and are the nieces and nephews of mob bosses.

Other businesses run by the mob:

• Fuddruckers
• Bally’s
• Dress Barn
• Northwest Airlines
• Department of Motor Vehicles
• Illinois, New Jersey and half of Florida

What exactly is a front for the mob?  If not to sell remote controlled dinosaurs, what exactly happens at Radio Shack?  Of course, we all know that it is to launder money.  For those of you too innocent to be familiar with the machinations of the illicit underground, let me give you a quick primer from my mob days back in the 60’s when I was a part of the KK’s, a west coast conglomerate working with the Korean “Chae-bols”:  So let’s say you amass a couple million dollars from your favorite illegal activity—how are you going to get that money into circulation without Uncle Sam knocking on your door and sending your butt to jail like they did with Al Capone and John Gotti.  You set up a “legitimate” business to run that money through.  Capice?

After I “retired” from the mob back in 1976, I began work writing screenplays for Korean movies based off of my experiences.  Here are some examples:

• Hi, Dharma!:  Where we fight a bunch of monks only to become friends with them in the end.
• Friend:  Where I had my best friend from High School assassinated which sent me into depression and prison.
• Marrying the Mafia:  Where we got some poor muggle completely drunk and married to my younger sister.
• My Wife, the Gangster:  Where my younger sister consistently kicks some major hiney.
• My Boss, My Hero:  Where I return to high school to get my GED. 
• A Tale In Autumn:  Where I (as a toddler) switch babies so that this girl I have a crush on becomes my sister and we grow up together with awkward feelings for each other only to find that we aren’t really related and can date but I move away to return years later with other love interests but finally get together only for her to contract cancer and die while I give her the last piggy-back ride of her tragic life on the beach.
• Marrying the Mafia 2:  How I finally give up the gangster life for Angela, who happens to be the chief prosecutor. (Yes, this was after finally healing over the loss of my first love which was the basis for Sassy Girl.)

Pretty much if you watch these movies in this order, you’ll piece together the story of my life, minus the ninja stuff, of course.
