Finally, a news story that also counts as entertainment. The world has seen a person throw a shoe at George W. Bush. The world has seen someone else throw a shoe at the person who threw one at Bush. The world has seen shoes thrown in China, which people then thought were food and ate. (well, not that one). But now the world has seen an attack on a leader who actually deserves it. Yesterday an Italian man threw a statue/punched in the face Silvio Berlusconi. Now, I am not a person to normally condone violence of this sort. I mean, it's the rare attack which actually merits the complete hell your life is going to be after. However, I find that this is one I can get behind. Berlusconi, possibly the greatest dictator Italy has ever seen (and certainly as nuts as, if not more than, some of the Romans), is an ass, a cheat, a criminal, a creepy old man and much more. He is also the richest man in Italy, and one of the most powerful people on the planet. Because of this, I am all for the broken nose and just pain coursing through his face. But still. BAD BAD BAD IDEA. Those security forces are not going to do nice things to that person. Still, one positive side to the plan. At least he didn't attack Putin, who would've just beaten the guy up himself, then probably led the interrogation.

You forgot to mention the ever-lolzy fights in the Japanese Diet or whatever they are called. They are always throwing shoes/elbows at each other--probably over legislation regarding schoolgirl panties.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, yeah, this person had to be completely batshit to take on Berlusconi's crazy.
Oh man, what would the world be like without Berlusconi? Substantially more boring, that's what.
