Italian Supremacy....

Italians always manage to be in the news. Be it a front page side column in a leading daily or just some airtime in the sports section of BBC, Italy will be there. The current Prime Minister of Italy Mr Berrlusconi makes sure this trend wont go off. His scandals and high profile girlfriends give him a prominent spot in any one of the news channels.
Mr B is the longest serving head of a G8 country. This is not an easy task. One might wonder if Italy would find a successor with the same qualities? The answer is YES! We have many, so many that i can make a list! Well what else am i good at? So here goes A list of the 5 most eligible successors for the prime ministers office of Italy!

1. Tiger Woods- The Sports illustrated golfer of the year gets the number one position. In comparison he is better than B, more efficient!
2. Shane Warne- Well dirty language, locker room romps and a funky hair style to match, can Italy ignore him??
3. Kobe Bryant- Dunking his way to the third spot is the 2009 MVP!! He plans to rename the office as "Room 35"!
4. Shakti Kapoor- Uff!! finally someone to break the list of hormonally challenged sportsmen! Shakti casts his couch to the number 4 spot. The hair, the shades and the bling, some people just have it all!!
5. Shiney Ahuja- You bet bollywood leaves a mark everywhere!! If the Italian electorate consiststed a majority of maidens, no, maids , shiney would definitely be a fore runner in the race to the office!!

Well some concerned readers asked me how i could miss out Donald Trump? Well he couldnt make it to the list as he was, no he is busy competing with the French counterpart Mr Sarkoszy!! So let the Azzurie flag fly high!! ( This post was written with a feverent hope that none of the readers belong to the mafia!!!)

7. Jesus- Tetanus: Impaled by unsterilized nails...thou shalt suffer!!!
8. Parashurama- High blood Pressure: Anger is said to take a toll on BP.
9. Narasimha- Hypertrichosis: Where do you think the mane came from??
10. Indra- Neuro muscular disorder: playing with lightning affected his neurons.
11. Brahma: Dissociative identity disorder: 3 heads+ 3minds= trouble!!

13. Nandi- Foot and mouth disease.
