I hope these pictures frontpage throughout the world tomorrow.
By the way, surely you have seen this already:
*Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
(If the source is right, it's the trailer of the film Bye Bye Berlusconi with an actor.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
-As well as denying it. Berlusconi always denies what he said- and has tapes censured for consumption of his grovelling mignons.
Not bad is Juncker patting him on the back of his head as he pretends to be a serious statesman. For that alone, Juncker should be our first European president.
I checked again, according to this SPIEGEL article, the policewoman-assaulting video was one of three fake caught-on-camera scenes filmed for the trailer of the German satire Bye Bye Berlusconi from 2006. One of the other two was actually used (in which B. picks his nose in a restaurant), but all three ended up on the web, allegedly without knowledge of the filmmakers...
The story of the film is interesting, too: it was supposed to be a satire about Berlusconi directly (played by one Maurizio Antonini), with the story that terrorists kidnap B to stage a trial for him for all the crimes he evaded punishment for in real courts. But B's lawyers intervened. So they simply changed names: B became Topolino, mayor of Entenhausen ( = Duckville). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
