Italians More Interested in Football than in Sex ?????

The ANNOTICO Report

 

It is amazing, the way facts can be distorted.

 

The London Telegraph states that proof has finally arrived that Italians are more interested in football than in sex, and rely on a survey that compiled the words most frequently utilized in Google's Search Engines in different regions and different countries. 

 

How odd!! It seems to me that Italians prefer their sex in person, rather than in virtual space,and are not FIXATED on sex,  but accord it a proper place, and when they attend to it, do it "artistically", rather than in the "repressed" Anglo-Saxon puritanical manner.

How the Italians Get Their Kicks

The proof has finally arrived that Italians are more interested in football than in sex.

A survey by Google, the internet search engine, showed that, reversing the trend prevalent in the rest of the world, Italians searched for "football" twice as often as for "sex".

·  "Our kids are simpler than their parents," said Stefano Zecchi, a commentator for Il Giornale newspaper.

"They understand perfectly that a football derby, if you do not watch it, is an event that is lost forever. Love, however, is something you can do whenever."

Google also revealed what the preoccupations of Italy's major cities were, highlighting the most-searched phrase per region. In Naples, "sport" was the top, while in Bergamo there was a thirst for "gossip".

The educated Northern city of Turin, meanwhile, searched mainly for "books" while Florentines entered "exhibitions".
