One million Ryanair seats on flights from Oct. 1st to Nov. 17th - now I have no excuses not to go pay a quick visit to la mamma.

The question is: do I really want to go back to a country where women think nothing of giving their partners sexy calendars as Xmas presents? A country where tits and bums are everywhere, from processed cheese commercials to funeral parlour websites(link via David)? A country where nobody has managed to stop a tycoon owning the majority of the media, making up a brand new political party like a boyband out of sheer marketing skills, and brainwashing people into voting him into office as a prime minister?

As I always say: "Italy: yes, that's a beautiful country. For a minibreak."

    Unfortunately, most calendars portray women in various undressed states. Actresses, TV personalities, housewives, bank employees…Over the past few years, more and more calendars feature men (no full frontal nudity though). The Italian magazine Max always publishes two calendars (one meant to be men and one for women. You may find a few online here.
