What? Too lazy to click on the link? Well then!
And to get you into the mood… remember the theme song, of […]
Here We Go Again…
Sunday, July 27th, 2008I wasn’t particularly keen on posting this, but Ale saw it on TV the other night and has been bugging me for two days to put it on the ol’ blog. I guess he’s curious to hear the comments. This type of thing is a big discussion between us, whether Italy is racist or […]

No Dignity Left on Italian Television
Friday, November 16th, 2007 Not like there was ever that much to begin with, but still…
The other day when I saw this ad on TV for the umpteenth time, I said to Ale, “Next time that ad comes on, I swear to God I’m getting my camera out so I can make a little movie of it and […]
