It's the biggest breast-related story of the week, and if you haven't heard it, you obviously haven't been following breast-related stories. Italian Prime Minsiter/potential supervillain Silvio Berlusconi was tired of holding press conferences in front of a painting of a (gasp) bare-breasted woman. You'd think a 70+ year old man might enjoy that sort of thing, but whatever.
So, he had the offending breast painted over. And now art historians are in an uproar. I'm not sure what they'll do if their demands are not met, but I bet it's something sinister, possibly involving art.
But this whole fracas/brouhaha/other silly word gives me an idea. How many of you have watched State of the Union speeches only to be repulsed by the sight of the Vice President and Speaker of the House looming over the president? Not to single any particular people out, but as a rule the VP and Speaker are fairly unattractive people. They tend to be fat, jowly, pasty, or some combination of those qualities (or "qualities")
My question is: any way we could get George Lucas or someone to rub them out and replace them with more attractive people for the viewers at home? I mean, don't you think more people would tune in if they could see, say, Angelina Jolie and George Clooney standing behind the president? Maybe viewers could even pick customized stand-ins. It'd be a ratings goldmine! Anyway, it was just a thought. A brilliant thought.
