The Italian version?
The American Nobody For President Campaign is still present on the Internet, not one just one but two sites. We stumbled on them as part of search to find something catchy for a post about the recent general election in Italy.
Disgraced former prime minister Berlusconi and former comedian Grillo came in second and third in these elections and were promptly called 'clowns' by the German social democrat candidate in this country's upcoming elections.
While the German public largely agreed with the surprisingly candid statement, two negative repercussions followed swiftly.
A dinner with the current Italian head of state was cancelled, and the federation of professional clowns condemned the comparison.
How dare you compare upstanding, hard working clowns to these two? the clowns complained.
The K-landnews team has a soft spot for the Italians, we'd rather be sitting in a sidewalk cafe on a sunny Sunday morning, sipping a great little espresso, watching couples and families mill around.
