Let’s try to put some flavor into the numbers that make news successful on Google. Here are some of the week’s most clicked messages, revised and corrected.
Fat will never end
Olivia Newton-John, the Sandy of Grease, lost her last battle with the cancer that got her and ended up leaving. His death made the whole world cry. But the legend that has made three generations fall in love since 1978 cannot die. We will continue to fall in love when we hear her sing. Fat will never end.
Nuclear Apocalypse
The criminal bombings at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine continue. Russians and Ukrainians blame each other. The balance of the whole world could fall off the thread of this stupid hate game. Let’s hope the nuclear apocalypse doesn’t really appear.
Santa Chiara now Pro TikTok
On August 11 Santa Chiara was celebrated, which Pius XII. wanted to make the patron saint of television and telecommunications. That’s a bit like saying that this great medieval character should appear on all TikTok videos and Instagram reels to bless the girls dancing Tiska Tuska Tanga by Sfera Ebbasta. Or pro nobis.
The World Without Men by Concita De Gregorio
Concita De Gregorio has published a play – then massacred on social media – in which she “fascinated” dreams of a world without men. And in doing so, he has crystallized the malephobic dream that is growing in popularity in certain self-proclaimed feminist circles. Sorry Concita if we’re still there.
Wives, but better not say
Speaking of shortcomings of feminism: after Giorgia Soleri, who does not want to be called “Damiano dei Maneskin’s girl”, the cases of Michela Di Biase, wife of Minister Franceschini, and Elisabetta Piccolotti, wife of the President of SI Fratoianni, explode. And woe to those who notice their spouses: “male chauvinists! Sexists!“. But in this country there is a solution for those who no longer want to be a “wife” or “husband”. It’s called divorce.
An Italian conquers England
An Italian boy, Davide Sanclimenti, wins Love Island, a reality show in England, and becomes the idol of English women. In the end, this “beautiful mother” tells us what we can no longer seem to say: that the Italian male, although revised and corrected, continues to have his sanity. Excuse him, Concita, if he exists too.
Shooting stars on the opaque atom of evil
The moon is asking everyone again this year to make wishes when they see the “shooting stars”. From the smallness of our human conscience resound the verses of our Pascoli, intended to pull us out of our egocentricity: “And you, heaven, from the top of the worlds / serene, infinite, immortal / oh! Deluge him with a starry shriek / that opaque atom of evil! “.
