I agree with hime about the pizza toppings .. who has ever dared order the ham 'n' pineapple option??!!

The article is spot on.

And for ham and pineapple pizza, I saw it on the menu in a pizzeria in Sardinia and thought it was odd. But then, they cater for tourists( German, Dutch, Scandinavian), so this might explain it.

The worse thing about Italy is that there are so many laws and many are not enforced. The 'menefregismo' rules.

And if anyone threw bananas at a black person in the UK or likened them for an orang-utan, I am sure the judges will see him in court.
It was enough for an MP to call policemen 'Plebs' for him to lose his job( although, apparently it was a set-up?)

So, have the politicians lost their jobs here, nah, 'chi se ne frega'.

He should have also included homophobia in his article-how many boys committed suicide after being taunted at school for being gay?
