#104: Да пошли вы все!..

Today in the morning EuroNews had a story about Beppe Grillo, a comedian-turned-politician from Italy, who used his blog to mobilize his supporters and ultimately challenge the Italian politics. What drew my attention the most was the V-Day March, a virtual march of protest. According to the rebel, who seemed to have declared war against all the Italian politicians, there are 116,000 people who signed up to the march. Amazing!

V-Day stands for Vaffa-Day, where vaffa, according to a friend who speaks Italian, is a shortened version of "fuck off" in Italian. Amazingly, EuroNews in Russian shocked me by translating it as "День Ж" and as they explained Ж stands ЖОПА, "ass" Russian. Censorship in Russian TV would not allow such a word to be heard in Russia.

Kyrgyzstan needs something similar to what this guy is doing.
