Italians Fight Back Clichés
This made me giggle.
"Italian newspapers have greeted Julia Roberts's latest film Eat Pray Love with scorn after its local opening this week, scoffing at its romantic vision of an American woman's voyage of self-discovery in Rome."
Blah, stereotypes!
The only person I ever saw wearing an old style beret (Basque, as they are called) was my grand-father - and he was Italian, not French. I've also NEVER seen anyone wear that bowler hat in London, especially not middle aged guys WITH a 3 piece suit AND a brolly.
Maybe if the rest of the world started protesting a bit more, Hollywood would take notice?
