Man: So, they have elected the Prime Minister of Belgium as President of the EU!
Woman: Yep!
Man: What do you think of it?
Woman: Well…
Man: Better than the Italian!
<general laugh>
Me: *sigh*
Gabriella Carlucci, the Internet Sheriff
Posted by Fulvio | Filed under Blog
I have to stop reading italian news.
I really, really should.
One day you see a showgirl flashing her tits on national television, next week she is in the government. Amazing stuff.
Anyway, this time who is talking out of her arse is noone else than miss Gabriella Carlucci, ex-actress, ex-showgirl, and unfortunately current member of the italian parliament with the “Popolo della Liberta’” party, led by our favourite clown, mr. Silvio Berlusconi.
But lets get straight to the point, what miss Carlucci is asking this time, is to make ILLEGAL for people to post stuff on the Internet anonymously.
Yeah, you heard it right.
Basically, according to her, this will make pedophiles and other criminals stop lurking the net, and will also make it easier to fight internet piracy.
I wont go into the details about her proposal (which seems written for a Monty Python sketch) but I will make a couple of remarks:
First: Gabriella, you are an ignorant person. Before talking bull crap on topics you know NOTHING about, go study. Read some books. Get an IT certification, and then maybe you will realise that it is already possible to track EVERYONE on the Internet in case they commit any kind of crime.
What you are asking is to remove any barrier of privacy, and that, for your information, would make the lives of potential pedophiles and criminals MUCH easier.
“Oh, mr. Mario Rossi is writing on Twitter from abroad, that means he is not home and I can rob his apartment.” Get the message?
Second: the mere thought of you being part of the Italian government makes me puke. You are the reason why people like me left Italy and went to live abroad. Be ashamed of yourself.
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.

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.
