March 30th 2006. Red alert, shit is happening at corriere.it

I remember the old days when flash headlines all in red were dedicated only to very alarming news and happenings, like the planes smashing the twin towers in Manhattan and shit like that.
Now, this girl has been arrested, then released, for whatever the reasons, and this fuckers at corriere.it just scared me to death out of nothing.
Mind you, corriere.it is supposed to be the website of the most influential newspaper in Italy.

See, that's what I'm talking about here.
This country is a mess.

it was one of the news // made with Italy, Naomi Campbell, news, red alert, ugly journalism // visited 910 times // licensed and printable

// recent

I just watched a TV news program from New York and they didn’t even mention this story. The TV program probably was taped in advance-even though they showed scenes and images from today. I guess those editors didn’t think it was such an important story to merit a special report notice though.
Is there nothing more serious going on in the world then a model getting arrested and then released? That would be nice, but not reality.

well, just in case your readers are thinking that the second largest italian newspaper is better. here come the contents of yesterday’s hominous “blue column” on repubblica’s web site, which is supposed to contain the stupidest and catchiest pieces of news for their mindless readers:

per Gattinoni

Delio, good one. But at least that’s the ‘blue column’. It is supposed to contain idiocy. That headline about Naomi, on the other hand, was above the main news! I mean, last time I saw something like that it was about the Tsunami in Indonesia,with the 30,000 dead and all.
In this case the “journalist” on duty at the moment must have been completely drunk. Or a very fond lover of ms. Campbell, of course.
By the way, wherefrom Caparezza is coming back, I wonder? And why this Gattinoni don’t leave Tiziano to rest in his grave? And what’s with that stupid restaurant? And why don’t they shove sudoku up their asses once and for all? :)

Buzzurro, right…. but, really, we learned to put bullshit-news before real news from british and american media, so I guess this is the case where the learner overcomes the teacher.

Yes but don’t forget that Italy is ruled by fashion and beautiful people - this is BIG news for them. When I was looking for work in Milan, I came across many job ads asking for beautiful people - very shallow.
