On VBS this week we're exploring the garish, drug-addicted, crime-riddled, exciting world of Naples and Southern Italy. You may remember Campania as the Italian province where the local mafia (the Camorra) is storing the rest of Europe's toxic waste. Well, it is also the home of two equally important things,Neomelodica music, the Neapolitan answer to the Mexican narco-corrido or the American boy band; and Roberto Saviano, author of the world's best semi-fictional treatise on the Camorra and number one target on said mafia's to-kill list. So we shot special editions of Music World and VBS Meets for both of them. Click-a the dark letters to-a watch-a. And if all this isn't enough pasta-eaters for your eyeballs, go to the IFC center and watch Gomorrah, the film adaptation of Saviano's book.
i love how your photo representing all of italy includes frosty tips and two bottles of hair product. italians are the world's ruling high class low taste nationality.

this is definitely the best still shot you could have picked. I think this really sums up the whole Neomelodica series

he's the caped crusader of neopop and male hair scaping. if i had to guess, i'd say his crotch area is better manicured than a major league infield.

Oh my Lawd, I saw Gomorrah on a Friday night and it was so bleak it ruined my whole weekend... but in a good way.
