In case you haven't been paying attention, the election campaign in Italy has been providing endless hilarity. It all got kicked off, really, when incumbent Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi promised to foreswear sex for the duration of the campaign. This, it seems, has led him to start exploring the world of paid phone sex chat lines, with Berlusconi reporting that "Seven out of the nine young ladies I called said they preferred me, which is very good news indeed." A spokesperson for opposition leader Romano Prodi remarked, "These women say anything to please the desperate men who call them."
Adds a whole new meaning to "coalition of the willing," doesn't it?
