No, no. You just need to have the aesthetic sense to distinguish a water heater from a bouquet of flowers to understand that - in terms of looks - she is as ugly as hunger, thirst, and liver cirrhosis all together.

I humbly ask for forgiveness, but the temptation was too strong. I don't know them. To be honest, I had never even heard of them before. Ignorance breeds ignorance!

And yet, in my opinion, musically it is impeccable. Let me explain: it’s radio-friendly pop. It should be played on national radio stations, in supermarket sound systems; it should be remixable and have a super bass to make the sixteen-year-old girls with their belly buttons out shake their butts for their boyfriends (and, unknowingly, for all their boyfriends' classmates) on MSN. And it does this excellently. I think it’s crap. It gives me a headache. But I admit that this girl’s music does its job. What I really don’t understand is the media hype, the interaction between the public and the media that continues to surround her. Basically, she isn’t doing anything truly new: it’s nothing more than a combination of Marilyn Manson and Christina Aguilera (so stuff from TEN YEARS ago). Moreover, she recycles things Madonna used TWENTY years ago, like the pointy bras. Is it possible that the public hasn’t caught on even a little bit over the years? Is it possible that there are still people who are scandalized? Is it possible that there are still people who fall for certain media maneuvers? Why isn’t she just dismissed as yet another pop phenomenon who in a handful of years will be featured on Meteore with Nicola Savino and DJ Angelo? Besides, while I’m writing this comment, I’m listening to a record that’s about 60 years old, so I guess the one who hasn’t understood much is me...

It's a bit long, but still enjoyable to read. Too bad for the track by track. Ignorant as I am, I don't think I've ever listened to one of their albums in full.

To tell the truth, I only found out about the stinky dog a few days ago. Now – certainly due to some wheelbarrow of subliminal messages contained in the related video – I can't think of anything else. And that's what has happened to everyone who has seen it. It's truly deadly. Hee-hee-hee. That stinky dog. Oh-oh-oh.

This even managed to get a negative review from Mollica. And I've said it all. Darius, you write well, but how many nonsense...

Here, I believe this is a decent ending:

(Yeah, sorry, but I had started writing the comment before you posted your last one, then I went to have a fruit juice and it happened...). Anyway, I think the ending is pretty damn positive (there are still good people out there, even when everything seems lost there’s hope, etc., etc.). For example, I would have ended the film with the child pulling the trigger, but the gun jammed, and so he unwittingly became the star of an episode of "Cotto e mangiato" in a post-apocalyptic version hosted by those funny folks from the villa. Well, that - perhaps - would have pleased me a bit more... :)
