I want no monuments

Maybe you have heard about the USA gaffe about Berlusconi: at the 34th G8 summit, held in Japan, the USA press kit described our prime minister as

one of the most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for governmental corruption and vice

adding that he

is regarded by many as a political dilettante who gained his high office only through use of his considerable influence on the national media

Well, if that’s true, the Encyclopedia page from which these definitions come will soon be modified. By the way, we are not new to such things.

So let’s save it in an unmodifiable form (thanks to Abduction!)

For the benefit of our nation and of search engines: today’s editorial comment from the Financial Times says in english what less than half Italians think.

In the meanwhile, WALL-E is coming to tidy up Naples.

Veltroni ha detto:

Per questo, chiedo agli italiani, in questi sessanta giorni, di pensare non a quale partito ma a quale Paese

Beh:

• Filippo e Luigi sono in Germania
• Antonio è in Inghilterra
• Carlo è in Svizzera
• Altri pensano alla Spagna…

E tu? A che paese stai pensando?

Yes, I’m Italian. Not really proud of it, expecially in the last weeks. Not really interested in my country’s problems. Not willing to listen to bad news.

As you have read, one of the favourite landing for tourists, Naples, has replaced monuments and sea with waste mountains. You may ask “how can all this waste come from nowhere?”. Indeed, what you may see as a contingent problem, has been a problem for almost a year.

The ironic part is that such story, which the stupid italian politicians fear to damage Italy’s image, has become a “BBC Learning English” lesson.

Willing to find answers to questions such as “how?” or “why?”. Then you have just found a new book for your bookshelf.

No, ma dico… che cavolo state facendo lì seduti? Eh?

Ci sarò!

Il problema non è tanto essere religiosi o no, il problema è la chiesa….

E allora rischiamo…

un po’ codardo, senza dubbio, ma meglio che stare zitti…

It’s really a bad thing to have such a shit pile they call the Vatican City in the very centre of my country, only a few kilometers away from the politicians.

Fortunately, our beloved European neighbors help us where our medias fail. Clothdamn! Watch this video from the BBC…

UPDATE: Google, as it has already done in China, censored the video. Another one came out. Thanks to Beppe Grillo.
Btw if you want to assure you a copy of that video, please use aMule, eMule or go to http://go.to/vatican-sex-crimes
