Has Silvio Berlusconi seen the error of his ways? "The era of fast-tracked careers for pretty faces in Prime Minister's Silvio Berlusconi's TV empire, which led to rumours of a casting couch, could be at an end. Young starlets wanting jobs on the Premier's Mediaset programmes must demonstrate appropriate professional skills and training, according to a stern memo from Berlusconi's son Piersilvio, Mediaset's vice-president." Those professional skills include "jiggling" and "keeping that culo toned," but hey, it's a start.

The lesson of Mary is that you must over-emote, and act like everything is SO GREAT, otherwise no one will comment on your posts. Maybe you could add some more capital letters?
We all have our own lessons to teach! What's yours?
I was in It'ly coupla weeks ago and all the news was all "The Leader of the Opposition in Sex Scandal." Newspapers, tv, it was incredible. And that scandal was a tranny hooker so it is fascinating to them. Saw this evening talk show and they pretended to do this serious "What's up with trannies?" thing but really it was all "The Opposition is Gay." Zizek is right, Italy is the future.
Ah, yes, this guy:
