The Godfather is all about networking on Facebook

Everyone and their grand-pappy is on Facebook these days and The Godfather is no exception. To build excitement for The Godfather II and reach that "social networking" crowd, EA has released a not too violent Facebook game called Crime Ring.
The Crime Ring application can be accessed here (Facebook account required) and is a relatively involved game where the goal is to create a family, build up your bank roll, become an evil mobster, play dress up, and promote EA's upcoming Godfather sequel. We're sure those of you who are interested will be able to figure it out, but we're more interested in learning which other famous mobsters are on Facebook. Al Capone, perhaps?

Sounds like a ripoff of that stupid Mafia game everyone has gone gay for the past year?

Am I the only one that laughed out loud at the first picture that says 'Black Tough-Guy' with a picture of a black tough-guy?

Would have been funnier with the word "token". As in, "token black tough guy".

I live a block from the building that housed one of Capone's original soup-kitchen/speakeasies. I sent him a friend request a few months ago but I think he just clicked "ignore".
