TITANIC (il transatlantico del BS)

Qualche battuta seminata qua e là, poca roba.
E' più una previsione frutto del mio quinto senso e mezzo
anche se...ah si, la firma del penoso (e peloso) appello per la libertà di stampa come la chiami?

Bof, rispetto alle varie Guzzanti sono in tutt'altro campionato.

Senz'altro .

P.S.:Le varie Guzzanti chiccazz sarebbero?
C'è Sabina, la sorellina più piccina (che me la bomberei e bon) e stop, no?
O mi consideri Corrado (e pure Paolo magari...) un mezzo culandra?

Caterina ha due bocce inaspettatissime.

Intendevo dire: "i comici stile Sabina Guzzanti".

Caterina da che l'ho vista in Boris mi ha smosso qualcosa dentro.
Così minuta e con 'sto faccino, la vedo come una di quelle che se adeguatamente stimolata ti risucchia anche le palle degli occhi

Intendevo dire: "i comici stile Sabina Guzzanti".

Quei "comici" belli bavosi che non si prendono mai troppo sul serio insomma... ci siam capiti.

Non conosco nessun (etero) a cui Caterina Guzzanti non faccia un sesso immane

Restando in famiglia Sabina ha un bel corpicino ma tra la troll face 24/7 e la mandibola da Idralisca direi che non fa per me.

Io avevo visto a teatro Stefania Rocca in Polygraph, e faceva un paio di scene di sesso in cui era nuda come un verme.

Fisico da 9+

Cribbio che postribolo-oh!
C'è n'è abbastanza da infartuare Gad e Bruti Liberati insieme...


Ho provato ad ascoltare Orion, sempre con volume ed impianto giusti, sfogliando pics varie di 40K...soprattutto roba grossa, navi cannoneggianti, titani, demoni rigurgitanti et simili.
Funziona solo in parte, comunque è stata foriera di discrete fanta-sceneggiature.
(se mi chiedete "Eeeh ma cos'è Orion" non ci siamo e siete fail)

P.S.: Me ne accorgo se googlate
P.P.S: Domani rilasciano IE9...

Ho trovato qualcosa di gustoso, soprattutto per il curriculum dell'autrice.

Decadence and Democracy in Italy
What does the tolerance of Silvio Berlusconi's hedonism say about Italians?
Challenging Berlusconi

January 26, 2011
Clare Watters is a Ph.D. candidate in Italian Studies at the University of Birmingham.

So, once again we find ourselves asking: Why do Italians put up with a leader whose succession of scandals would have instantly shamed any other leader in a democracy?

Polls may not lie, but neither do they give us the full picture. Outsiders may find it easy to group all Italians as Berlusconi sympathizers or as passively resigned to their predicament. But there are many Italians who are fighting against him and the effect he has had on Italy.

There are many Italians who are fighting against Berlusconi and the effect he has had on Italy.
For example, Sabina Guzzanti, a satirist and filmmaker, has toured Italy with one-woman political satire shows. She has been performing a caustic impersonation of Mr. Berlusconi since his first political campaign in 1994, but her protests have recently become more serious and urgent, as expressed in the documentary, “Draquila: Italy Trembles.”

Guzzanti is not just a one-woman barrage of anti-Berlusconi sentiment. She is part of a large section of the Italian community who refuse to sit back and watch the show. This week, for example, thousands of women across 12 Italian cities organized protests, sit-ins and debates with a clear message for Berlusconi: Italian women are not just bodies which can be bought by the powerful.

Yesterday’s reaction by Italian women is just one in a wave of protests against Berlusconi’s alleged abuses of power. Protesters flood Italian piazzas regularly in events like No B(erlusconi) Day and V-Day to demonstrate their indignation at the current situation. However, these events are often overlooked by the Italian and international press, giving the impression of indifference on the part of Italians.

Given the lack of effective official opposition and the strong center-right contingent which continues to support the coalition government, it is unsurprising that the world is starting to fear for the sanity of Italians. Instead, we should look to give coverage and support to those who, in their own way, are trying to challenge the political situation in Italy.

PhD title: Making Space for Satire: Italian Comedians in the Berlusconi Era

Supervisors: Dr Clodagh Brook and Dr Charlotte Ross

Email: [email protected]
I am in the third year of a PhD in Italian Studies under the supervision of Dr Clodagh Brook and Dr Charlotte Ross.
I am the Vice-Chair of the Postgraduate Steering Committee of the Graduate Centre for Europe (Chair 2009-10) and Co-General Editor of the Birmingham Journal for Europe. I also teach on first year modules Studies in Contemporary Italy and Historical and Contemporary Images of Europe.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Combined Languages at the University of Hull, before completing the joint Warwick-Birmingham MA in Italian Studies: Culture and Communication. My MA dissertation focused on comic representations of Berlusconi in Nanni Moretti's Il caimano and Dario Fo's L'anomalo bicefalo.

Research project

My thesis examines the work of Italian political and satirical comedians since the start of Berlusconi’s second government in 2001, focusing on their use of performance spaces and their position within the cultural opposition to Berlusconi’s centre-right governments. The project draws on humour, media and cultural studies to assess the comic strategies employed on television, stage and the internet, at protest events and in documentary film. The final part of the thesis also provides an analysis of the reception of these artists by the Italian public.

My research is funded by a University of Birmingham Humanities Research Scholarship. I was awarded the 2010 Graduate Student Award by the International Society for Humor Studies.

Thank you. Really, thank you.

Americans, please, don't leave us alone with Italians.
Shame on me, for this Man. If this were not the reality I could think it's a fantasy story.
But we live it on our skin, we strongly feel the shame that this man causes.
So, I repeat, don't leave us alone. We need you.

(It seems like sixty years ago, when Italy asked you for liberation from fascim. I think the situation it's not so different, today. First there was violence , now there is mystification of reality.)

Great job,
Good-bye.

PS: "Let's hope they catch up soon" - Yes, we hope. (or YES, WE CAN? ;-) )

Ah, della protesta delle "migliaia di donne in 12 città italiane" se n'è accorto qualcuno?

P.P.S: Domani rilasciano IE9...

Domani verrà quindi ricordato come l'ultimo giorno da sei anni a questa parte in cui non è cambiato nulla nel mondo del web?

Edit: dai non, non voglio essere cattivo che a Microsoft Research a Cambridge ci lavora un amico & collega con cui ho fatto l'esame di ammissione al dottorato

Ah, della protesta delle "migliaia di donne in 12 città italiane" se n'è accorto qualcuno?

Non era così e poco tono perculante.
Era la protesta di dodici donne in migliaia di città italiane...certo che se non mi sapete le bbasi.

Anche il solo chiedere conferma è fail.
Ma siccome non avevo specificato facciamo mezzo fail.

E, scusate, non posso tralasciare il commento del lettore

Che sia una richiesta al Pentagono per bombardare Palazzo Grazioli?

Sembra quella montagnola di ca**ate che aveva postato Alberace giorni fa...
Com'era..."una continua lotta per la credibilità-ah" e altre cose perlacee del genere.

La ricercatrice di scienze sociali sulla satira nell'era berlusconi

Dopo che ho finito di fare UHLOL, UHLOL, riservo a voi POPPPOLO, una domanda DEMMOCRATICA:

Che facciamoo col thread da TSM?

- Se vi interessa lo riapriamo e vi ci lascio chiaccherare finchè non ci spammate troppo
- Lo lasciamo chiuso e bona lì (sarei per questa opzione)
- Lo lasciamo chiuso e lo rimando di là, mica siamo il loro monnezzaio
- Lo mandiamo riaperto in J4S, così for TEH LULZ.



Ah, ci potrebbe anche stare un sondaggio: Chi è il mago Faramir di BS?
