Italy and family values


This was on Fail Blog, part of the Cheezburger family of websites today. It is Bertolli's response to the comments on September 26th from Barilla's CEO Guido Barilla. He stated that he would never feature a homosexual family in any of his companies advertisements. He feels that it is destructive to children to grow up in a same sex household instead of a "traditional" family.

Now I love Italy, and I'm heterosexual, but I thought it was a pretty funny comment to come from the CEO of an Italian company, given the fact that the former Premier of Italy, Silvio Berlusconiis an over 70 yr. old man who was indicted for having used the services of a 16 year old prostitute. But strangely enough, he was not widely condemned by the people of Italy. Just saying.
