Naked News Hits Italy
I feel sorry for the
cultural attaches at the Canadian embassy in Rome. Try as they might, it's hard
to get Italians interested in Canadian culture. As far as the locals are
concerned, Canada is little more than an open-air seal slaughterhouse, an
exporter of maple syrup and the home country of Neil Young and Avril Lavigne.
Thankfully, Naked News has come to the rescue. Naked News -- "the
show that has nothing to hide" -- is a proud Canadian media invention.
It has set up outposts around the world since its launch in Toronto in 2000
and, last week, it finally came to Italy. The Italian version hit the
web with a interview with Michela Fiore, a 25-year-old who said she was looking
forward to her new career as a news reader who takes all her clothes off.
"I find it a very interesting job which will undoubtedly contribute to my
professional career," she said.
Naked News Italia has a target of 50,000 web subscriptions by t he end of the
year, at euros 9.99 a month. This sounds optimistic, if only because regular
Italian TV already brims with nearly naked women, thanks to Silvio
Berlusconi's babes-and-sports broadcast formula. Almost every show, from the
dullest political blab-a-thon to family game programs, feature scantily clad
eye candy. Tough competition indeed for Naked News.
No word from the embassy yet on how it plans to celebrate Canada's newest cultural export.
