At last I've found the article and the original video about Intimate Game Controller, a thesis by Jennifer Chowdhury; also some newspapers wrote about it (it seems thay nothing better to do) and I made the comic above. With a warn: if your daughter says she go to play videogames with her little boyfriend, be worry.

Censure


The news is about last Saturday, but I was not apble to post it before. Daniele Luttazzi's italian satiric TV programme "Decameron" was stopped because of a quip about the journalist Giuliano Ferrara and some italian politicians.
The quip was too much vulgar, even if Luttazzi, as he already did, replied: "Satire is never vulgar, it's explicit."
With so much vulgarity in TV, it's always who said what he think who causes troubles. This is the sense of my comics, for who didn't understand it already, where censure erase the mouth; as you can say: be vulgar, but speakless.

Weeds



And best wishes to the brand new project of party made by Berlusconi; we hope he finally give us back our shout "Forza Italia!"

Sketchbook


This is an alternate version of the last comic I published here. I chose the other versione because this one didn't convince me totally, even if it was more similar to the original news which inspired it: a kid kept on chain on a balcony by his parents.
