Italy

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.

Berlusconi is back! YEY!

Elections are over in Italy.
These two persons you see here on the left are the ones who will take care of ruling my country for the next few years.
A mafioso (Berlusconi) and a poor mental retard with revolutionary manias (Bossi).
lol.

La terra dei cachi

Senato RissaSo … 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.
Shame

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.
