Italians are a strange bunch. It seems the majority of them want to be lying, cheating, ugly, bald perverts:

Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi remained defiant in the face of allegations about his encounters with younger women when he claimed yesterday: “The majority of Italians in their hearts would like to be like me.” Berlusconi’s comments came a day after a TV interview featuring Noemi Letizia, the model whose 18th birthday party he attended, causing a national scandal. She described her relationship with the man she calls “Daddy” and said she enjoyed her notoriety. Berlusconi denied any strains with the Catholic Church and denounced the “subversive campaign” against him. Letizia said she dreams of Hollywood glory.
