History, according to Luca Luciani
And we keep wondering why all major Italian companies are either going bankrupt or getting bought for peanuts by foreign multinationals.
The idiot you will see in the following video, Luca Luciani, is Chief Marketing Officer at Telecom Italia Mobile. He earns around €800.000 a year, and to motivate his subordinates he prepares a wondeful speech about Napoleon’s masterpiece victory at … Waterloo.
What else to say? Chief Marketing Officer? Go back to the elementary school, moron.
La terra dei cachi
So … yeah, as you probably have read from all the news websites, we don’t have a government anymore.
Which, in all honesty, is not really the problem.
The problem is that I am starting to get ashamed of my country every day more and more.
The problem is that in Italy we don’t just screw up stuff, we do it with style.
And so it happens that you find total assholes like Umberto Bossi on TV shouting to the cameras: “Elections now, or we will have an armed revolution” (wow, please, I beg you, do it. Maybe we’ll finally get the chance to kill you for good.)
It also happens that a senator, Cusumano, who decided to vote for keeping Prodi as Prime Minister, got attacked in front of everybody by another senator (Barbato), was spitted on the face, and was called a “piece of shit” and “faggot” from other senators.
He later collapsed and was brought to the hospital. (more drama, please)
I bet you can find scenes like this only by walking into a criminal bar in Venezuela after midnight.
Who needs the Sky Sports Channel when you live in Italy?
Switching the TV on during the past 2 days was like having an ongoing World Wrestling Federation event on all channels 24/7.
Sit back on your chair, grab your popcorns, and enjoy the show.
I miss England.
Separated at birth
In addition to my previous post about the shameful shutdown of Italia.it, I wanted to add a video that is quite old and was used as a worldwide advertisment campaign for the Italia.it website.
Now, watch the first video, which is Francesco Rutelli, our Minister of Culture and Tourism, and then the second, which is … Borat.
Our country must not be so different from Kazakhstan after all.
R.I.P. Italia.it
One image sometimes can tell more than 1000 words.

Not even one year ago this website costed the Italian taxpayers 45 friggin million euros (read the full story here if interested), and was shut down this weekend because it was marked as a “failure”.
It was closed without any public statement, without any apology, without any explanation to where the money went.
I could have made the same website, maybe even faster and more functional, in two weeks for 500 euros.
Shame on you all.
Elections are over in Italy.
