Just a note about the TV: Italy has 6 TV channels, Berlusconi owns 3 of them (4, 5, and 6). For the most part Berlusconi's channels air American shows dubbed in Italian and like, 5 years behind the times (they're still showing The OC?). So while "silent, scantily-clad ladies attending to the needs of old dudes" is definitely true of the variety-type shows on channels 1-3, I wouldn't say it's true of Berlusconi-owned programming at all. Not a fan of the dude by any stretch, but his channels were the saving grace of the time I spent in Italian TV land.
@stew: I enjoyed this reasonable solution to an unhappy marriage:
"Indeed, let's assume the rogue governor had begun to question his treacly faith and dweeby life. If so, sex-with a foreigner no less-would have been a reasonable escape."
