Vergin’ on the Ridiculous

September 17, 2008 Italians No Comments

A 20 year old Italian girl has offered to give up her virginity in return for one million Euros.

That said girl was one of the contestants from that most vacuous of TV shows in which a group of air heads are kept in a vacuum for a certain length of time is not much of a surprise.

Yes, said girl was a contestant on the psychologists’ favourite TV programme: the Italian version of Big Brother.

Italy’s showgirl culture, which can be blamed in part on its ‘It’s not what you know, but who you know which counts’ society, strikes again.

The virginity selling girl is quite a looker, it has to be said.  Shame about her aspirations, which are not even that original.  Apparently an Australian lass auctioned her virginity recently too.  The latest fashion perhaps?

The girl, 20 year old Raffella Fico from Naples, who is also an aspiring actress (aren’t they all?), is quite blatant about it:

”I can’t wait to see who’s going to pull out the money to have me,” the aspiring actress told the celeb magazine Chi.

The odd thing is that I thought they had made prostitution virtually illegal here…

At least Big Brother keeps these people off the streets!

Francesco Cossiga Understood Italy

18 Aug 2010

For those who did not know, Francesco Cossiga, who died the other day, was an Italian politician and one time President of Italy. Cossiga hailed from Sardinia, was a fan of John Le Carre and had earned himself the nickname “the pickaxe” owing to his no holds barred criticism of other Italian politicians.

Berlusconi v Fini – Slinging Old Mud

12 Aug 2010

As you may be aware, the generally tumultus world of Italian politics is in turmoil. The Berlusconi government is teetering on the brink of collapse, but what is really surprising, is that this collapse was sparked from the inside.

Berlusconi Divorces Fini

30 Jul 2010

Kotipizza Berlusconi

From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.

Well, the law of Murphy hit yours truly good and proper on Wednesday evening. Not sure what I ate, and even if it was something I ate, but whatever it was was worse than a punch in the belly by Superman.
Waves of pain, coming more or less when they felt like, and often in twos or threes, just for good effect, just about folded me in two. And I won’t mention the other, er, let’s call it ‘bottom effect’.

The Economist Beats Berlusconi

Many moons back in 2001, the Economist magazine displayed a picture of a pensive Berlusconi on its front cover, along with the question: ‘Is Silvio Berlusconi unfit to Lead Italy’.

Mr Berlusconi took umbrage to the undertone of this heinous insinuation, and promptly took the revered publication to court on accusations of defamation, and lost!
