The Italian animal farm

A curious coincidence: Marco Travaglio today compared the last actions of the Italian government to what happened in the famous Animal Farm by George Orwell. I’ve seen a nice Animal Farm movie just yesterday night. If you didn’t read the book, watch on youtube this good version from 1954. First part, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth. Enjoy it.

… something so that a big audience could amplify my idea/protest or whatever. However, I am in a very big trouble as so many people already got naked:

- for animal rights
- against bearskin hats
- for vegetarian diets
- awareness of breast cancer

Gian Marco Montesano: un ulteriore disonesto intellettuale? La storia la scrivono i cineasti.

Specialmente in Italia, e in particolar modo negli ultimi anni, va di moda fare di nazismo e comunismo un unico bel pacchetto da dare in pasto al pubblico. Generalmente si sottolinea quanti ebrei furono uccisi dai due regimi. Questo basta per condannare il comunismo come copia uguale e contraria del nazismo, se non ancora peggiore, come evidenziato da edizioni politicamente necessarie come “Il libro nero del comunismo”. Si e’ ormai dimenticato chi invase chi e chi si difese da chi, chi sacrifico’ 20 milioni di abitanti e chi intervenne alla fine del conflitto per motivi economici … ma dopo 60 anni sono quisquiglie passate, e la storia la scrivono i cineasti (di cui Montesano fa pure parte, un caso?).

The pleasure of shapes and colors

Try to recognize in the photo show above what I pictured today at the Zürich Zoo. The quantity of shapes and colors we experienced today has been amazing: a real pleasure for our eyes … maybe not such a pleasure for the eyes of animals like this being flashed thousand times per day

Miss Bimbo success reflects actual parental education

Everybody writing against Miss Bimbo internet game. Everybody shouting against a game that permits girls to have a perfect, sexy and cool virtual body - even via plastic surgery or extreme diets. Why are you all so hypocrites? Do you live on another planet? Don’t you see your girls are already dolls, even without Miss Bimbo? Miss Bimbo is the product of this crappy society, not the cause. Go out on Saturday and visit your commercial center. You’ll find thousand of moms carrying bags full of fashion products for their little angels: plastic jewels, tangas and push ups made by Walt Disney, sexy skirts and hot t-shirts .. everything is done for your babies to look like lolitas, and you parents are part of it. Google out how many underage girls go for real for plastic surgery to have bigger breasts and hot lips. Did you react against all of this before miss Bimbo came out? Wake up, parent associations! You cry out when the damage is already done.

Life: a short-term reiterative module looking for the B-point

“A felicidade como a pluma Que o vento vai levando pelo ar Voa to leve Mas tem a vida breve Precisa que haja vento sem parar”

Today there have been no vento (wind) at all, and this led me, as usual, to think about my life … and yours. My life equals to my work, I tend to think more and more often. This is quite a dangerous decision, especially with a job that gives many frustrations and few, rare satisfactions - like yours, probably.

However, the rare happiness I get from my work is full, round and complete. That’s why I am still happy about it.

Life’s unfair with Antony Minghella…

… and with his fans too. I read Antony Minghella died today, aged 54. The English Patient ,The Talented Mr. Ripley , Cold Mountain lost their director. And we lost the possibility to see new wonderful movies from him :,(

Silvio Berlusconi and Marie Antoinette: history repeating?

When the Queen Marie Antoinette was initially confronted by the poverty of the French people (”We don’t have bread!”), she responded: “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” (”Let them eat cake),”.

When today the future president of Italy 2008, Silvio Berlusconi, was questioned by a jobless pretty girl: “What should I do to change my life?”, he responded: “Sposi uno ricco, col suo sorriso ce la potrebbe fare” (”Marry a rich man, with your smile you could succeeded in!”)

Should we expect the same ending of the story?

Girls going crazy shopping …

… are not to be always blamed, if they come back home with such surprises
