So, what do you think would happen to the radio station in the US that played a song making fun of "Little People"?  A song that has a line, and I quote, "because your heart is too close to your asshole".  Little bit of lawsuit maybe?  There are no defamation laws or libel laws here.  Or not that anyone enforces.  There is practically no attention paid to minority rights groups, (unless they are immigrants).  Handicapped people are still hidden away and people still use derogatory terms for races and genders.  (Have I mentioned that my lovely, warmhearted mother-in-law still calls blacks "Moors"?)  So back to the song.   I was driving to the tennis club to pick up Grace this afternoon and turned on the radio, which is rare for me because I like to drive in silence.  Good think time as I have so few occasions to be alone, squished as we are into a 4 room apartment and surrounded by 500 screaming children all day.  I digress, excuse me.  Most music here is the same stuff we listen to in the US.  American and British musicians rule the airwaves.  And most Italian pop music doesn't interest me, so I tune it out.  I was planning dinner when the above mentioned line was sung and I literally, sat up and listened.  The song is about a dwarf, midget, little person, vertically challenged individual, whatever, who becomes a prosecutor in order to get back at all the people who had teased him growing up.  Weird but not unusual.  There are a lot of comic singers on the roles of Italian entertainers.  Most are just amazingly stupid as Italian humor is pretty lowbrow, but some are very offensive.  I'd say this one falls in the offensive category.  I remember a song from the '80's that said something like, "a hen is an animal that is not intelligent".  I'd say the guy who wrote that song is an animal that is not intelligent.  GP and friends love it.  It's that Italian humor thing.  Off to make dinner.  xxoo me
