Three Amazing Stories from the Corriere

Here, a TV show called "The Hyenas" on Berlusconi's network Italia 1 hired an actress to complain to bigshot priests that her son had been molested by some subordinate priest. None of them told the woman to go to the police, they report. I wish my colleagues would cover my classes when I'm sick!

Here the Corriere reports a study done in France saying that 2% of female university students use prostitution as a source of money. That why it's called the SoreBone, Pepe?

Here the center-left government is showing it's getting sick of Naples' perennial crime problems and is threatening to send in the Military. I suggest France do the same thing.

il 2% degli studenti francesi (uno su 57 per l'esattezza), ovvero un piccolo esercito di circa 40mila ragazzi tra i 19 e i 25 anni d'età (per la grandissima maggioranza ragazze), vende il proprio corpo per mantenersi durante gli studi.

Hey, I thought the Nanny State takes charge of all their needs, no? It's a scandal! Increase taxes by 50%, pronto, and dole out another 10K euros to each and every youth, that's the solution. (Actually, this is no joke -- I was just tallking to a Frenchie buddy of mine, who tells me this is a serious proposal from one of the top 3 Socialist candidates to take on Sarko. Figures.)

France has a military, JJ?
