I'm Italian and i'm NOT proud of what my country is becoming. Don't judge Italians like Berlusconi, in Italy pretty much everyone hates him, but some assholes think he's a good politician. And then, if you want you can keep criticize us, but remember, we had Dante, Da Vinci, Columbus, the Pope, the whole Roman Empire and fantastic food. You had Lincoln and then what?
What do you want to prove? that Italy is different from what we see here? Everyone knows that in Italy the cost of living is high, unemployment is at the highest level and that your television fills your brain with this shit rather than reveal the truth.
I'm italian and I personally don't watch TV ...........This is the Italy of the "lobby",it means few rich people decide what we should watch on TV... Berlusconi is the leader of Mediaset but also the other politicians are in society with RAI... I travelled a lot and I have english, french and chinesee friends and I know how people see us. But I have one thing to say: Italy is something else. Now Italy is in a period of economic and ethic crease! Now I study at the university and I feel in my generation a change is coming! Because remember the great of our history! Pasolini, Leonardo, Dante, Raffaello, Michelangelo.... Please don't judge but try to understand....HOW CAN A JOUNG GIRL LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THAT? I BELIEVE WITH ALL MY HEART THAT THINGS WILL CHANGE
You are mixing two completely different things: Berlusconi is (or better, it was) a big problem, the use of women's bodies in the media is another one. It's not just an italian problem, it's this whole capitalist system and US way of life that make all this a reality. In Italy we imported this kind of shows and mentality from the US, i mean the root of all this is certainly not Berlusconi.
Thank you for this well done and persuasive documentary. Very depressing! As of now -- May 2013 -- there is a new government in Italy, but I don't think thaat anything is going to change for the better for many years to come.
hahahahah something tells me that ur jealous, we are beautiful women, we have a beautiful country, we have everything my dear, if only the government was better, then we would be perfect
"It's better to like beautiful girls than being gay" I think it's hilarious that people get offended at comments like this. Also let me tell you, as an Italian, that the "Berlusconi own 90% of the media" is complete bullshit. Being Italian means being exposed to anti-berlusconian propaganda 24 hours a day. I was neutral to the dude once, but the incessant, constant, pervasive anti-berlusconi propaganda made me almost like the guy, lol.
what think "the rest of the world" is the least of my worries...italy is the 3rd EU economy, the country with highest number of world heritage sites, the country of beauty, art and culture, most beautiful landscapes and best food in the world. take advantage you are in Italy to take a bit of sunshine..
+Baji Scipio Dārayav Aurelius “Hemu Rawal Domitian” Julian Venizelos Nalwa corruption in Italian politics dates back much further than Berlusconi, although he certainly sent them backwards.
I was referring to the countries of Euro area. In terms of the impact of the value added of the industrial sector in the total value added, Italian industry is the second largest in Europe, after Germany. Until the entry of single currency it was the first. 12th if I look at GDP per capita (Britain 11th, France 10th, Germany 9th). Also here, data are worsened since the entry of the single currency.
Blah, blah, blah, bunch of feminists having an issue with sexualised television. If those ladies didn't want to do it, they wouldn't. It's great money and public recognition.
If you are a feminist I think it's better you listen to what the actress on 4:24 . She is right, she worked hard, she went to a very contested industry and succeeded. You don't like that there is so much demand of televised female body? Succeed in another industry
Italy is more left-oriented than the U.S. in every aspect. Look at republicans and their economy. They are however, relatively progressive in terms of women's rights and minorities' rights, at least compared to Italy. Italy has the formal rights for everyone, but you're still way too conservative and prejudiced.
I'm sad when I see a lot of racist comments, even though are from ignorant people. I'm glad that in your countries there are some laws that prevent something similar (i mean, that some one can control most of media: tv, newspaper, weekly newspaper, radio..... and can use it for shape people and ensure himself a lot of followers) but remember: most of italians are victims of this situation, be careful when talking about something you don't know, because you can't understand exactly what is happening here. I love my country, and i hope everything will change very soon. i think we can come back more strongly than before. in all history happened many times: during middle age, during renaissance, after IIWW, in 60's, 70's and early 80's. I think everyone should hope that this happen soon... also outside Italy.
io non ho niente in contrario con quelli del nord, anzi basta con queste divisioni, nord sud ovest est, l'italia e' di tutti noi, poi io adoro i napoletani, molti di voi avete un cuore enorme e simpaticissimi
...and to Lorella Zanardo: Its the guys who want the girls to to such things, but its the girls doing it! Just ask yourself, why they are doing such things, and why there are so many of them? Is it... A: Money B: Fame C: Because of their Religion D: They just want to show, what Plastic Surgery is able to do And don`t ask me, I gave up on this question!
Some women see themselves as sexual beings and are proud of it and some women frown at this idea. I am conflicted on who is right. All these women are beautiful, including the producer of this video, so I going to say they are all right.
@thejoymonster Because people like it. Always have, always will. Why are photo models good-looking? Same reason. The only difference between Italy and the US is that they don't have this stigma attached to showing gorgeous women in revealing clothes on public television or occasionally letting a bra drop. Christian modesty inspired feminism aside, I quite honestly fail to see the problem. Besides, it's not like they pick -any- men for the TV either.
the documentary lady was probably the oldest of all the females featured here but she was also the only one i found attractive. it wasn't sexual, obviously, but i did think she was beautiful- maybe because she was using her brain and mind and had a living conscience.
@Yupiyeahs It´s the fact that there is a demand for it, not that women do it. Of course it´s their choice, but why must there be such a high demand to sexualize women and pay them shitloads of money to be objects?
it's always been like that, in the early 80's i saw a weather report that showed the weather on a woman's breast. although in all honesty, they are suffering from an incredibly low birth rate. maybe their just trying to pump that up alittle

italian women are beautiful
In Italy only ugly girls hate Berlusconi!:)

go learn some history dude
Ok, calma, non mettiamoci a litigare per questi futili motivi, sarebbe solo l'ennesima dimostrazione di quanto poco siamo un popolo
What do you want to prove? that Italy is different from what we see here? Everyone knows that in Italy the cost of living is high, unemployment is at the highest level and that your television fills your brain with this shit rather than reveal the truth.
we haven't the pope since 1978;John Paul II was Polish,Benedetto XV german and Francis from Argentina
Keep out the Pope;the presence of Vatican in Italy is one of the worst calamities of our history since the IV century
Keep Italy Italian.
Africa is for Africans. Asia is for Asians.
Now this is going to sound racist, but we need Italy for Italians.
An American saying that Italian TV is trash is VERY ironic. It made my day.
I enjoyed your forthrightness. Very refreshing. Fantastic.
More, please !

I'm italian.......and I solved the problem!!!
I switch off the Television......easy no problem at all.
Exactly! I agree 100%.
Italian people are being hypnotized for 30 years by Berlusconi's television.
Those women are not forced. Why do you blame men? Or even Berlusconi? They do what they decide to do.
You are mixing two completely different things: Berlusconi is (or better, it was) a big problem, the use of women's bodies in the media is another one. It's not just an italian problem, it's this whole capitalist system and US way of life that make all this a reality. In Italy we imported this kind of shows and mentality from the US, i mean the root of all this is certainly not Berlusconi.
American people saying italian TV is pure trash. The irony.
the narrator is english...
Nathan Berry I was talking about people commenting here :)
Italy, how on earth have you allowed this to take place. What an utter embarassment!
Thank you for this well done and persuasive documentary. Very depressing! As of now -- May 2013 -- there is a new government in Italy, but I don't think thaat anything is going to change for the better for many years to come.
hahahahah something tells me that ur jealous, we are beautiful women, we have a beautiful country, we have everything my dear, if only the government was better, then we would be perfect
Japanese TV is often just as bad..
2011.. we should have more class..

"Everything in Italy is about sex." ...
Let me tell you, nothing in Canada is about sex ... ever.
Italian television has the right idea.
But I just don't understand how a guy like this can be allowed to run a country. -_-
This is what a woman can do for money :)
Definition of a feminist: "Someone who advocates equal educational, political, social, and economic rights for women." Guilty
he is the reason why many say Italy has corrupt politics
+Baji Scipio Dārayav Aurelius “Hemu Rawal Domitian” Julian Venizelos Nalwa corruption in Italian politics dates back much further than Berlusconi, although he certainly sent them backwards.
***** yes but right now Berlusconi is seen as corrupt he gives the conservative/liberal stance bad view

I'm sure you've never watched American, Northern European, French televisions :)
"It's better to like beautiful girls than be gay."
lol
I wish I could be like berlusconi
I don't like Berlusconi , but i love to see beautiful girls on tv , and believe me 90% of the young girls here in Italy want to dance on Tv too
im moving to Italy now
this is sad
@cannoir Indeed. Sad but true.
Forza Silvio!!! gli italiani sono con tè!!
here lies the epitome of a subjected, ignorant victim to his deceitful and persuasive ways
How can I watch Italian TV outside Italy?
Just to invastigate this tragical phenomenan... obviously.
This is the truth :(
Italy is one of Europe's most religious countries. Is there a correlation? I think so.
So sad ....I feel for women who have no loyalty and honor to themselves and their bodies.
Blah, blah, blah, bunch of feminists having an issue with sexualised television. If those ladies didn't want to do it, they wouldn't. It's great money and public recognition.
It's disgusting how much women are degraded and objectified in Italy.
Funny how the women that are the most outraged are, how would you put it?, - not likely to be on Italian TV?
That's just sad. A shame for Europe.
This guy is not fit to be a politician.
I think certain other "occupations" would fit him better, if you get my drift.
Italian men and women we want this tv.
If you are a feminist I think it's better you listen to what the actress on 4:24 . She is right, she worked hard, she went to a very contested industry and succeeded.
You don't like that there is so much demand of televised female body? Succeed in another industry

Abortion and divorce? These are the achievements we should be thankful for? This is even worse than Berlusconi. Check out Gianna Jessen's story.
I'm sad when I see a lot of racist comments, even though are from ignorant people.

Leftists? In the US? you're talking about the wrong country
wow and they call gaddafi a mad man...
guy at 13:53 clearly disagrees.
american people are like: "he is the prime minister! he can't have sex!"
come on!!
There is a Russian saying: The fish rots from the head down !!
Somewhere you'd never even dream about :)
io non ho niente in contrario con quelli del nord, anzi basta con queste divisioni, nord sud ovest est, l'italia e' di tutti noi, poi io adoro i napoletani, molti di voi avete un cuore enorme e simpaticissimi
*Correction( Jersey shore)
A big man!!
...and to Lorella Zanardo:
Its the guys who want the girls to to such things, but its the girls doing it!
Just ask yourself, why they are doing such things, and why there are so many of them?
Is it...
A: Money
B: Fame
C: Because of their Religion
D: They just want to show, what Plastic Surgery is able to do
And don`t ask me, I gave up on this question!
He's got a girl everywhere.
Some women see themselves as sexual beings and are proud of it and some women frown at this idea. I am conflicted on who is right. All these women are beautiful, including the producer of this video, so I going to say they are all right.
3:53 WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT TROLL DOING THERE
where are you from dude?
Berlusconi =the modern incarnation of emperor NERO and CALIGULA
stupid people, they have forgotten all their morals that influence BERLUSCONI needs to get jailed for life this is seriously disturbing
di sicuro... l'alternativa non è Matteo!
I wonder how this woman can compare herself to Madonna who made millions
doing things her way and herself and aging and almost comic figure
thats sweet thnk you
Is it just me or does the blonde TV presenter kinda similar looking to Pete Burns?
im moving to italy
His hairstyle's ok, what is he 70??& prettier than some.
@thejoymonster Because people like it. Always have, always will. Why are photo models good-looking? Same reason.

cool - the land of Caligula lives on. :)
italians rock! italians are the kings of the siesta in europe
@TheBloodyGash Don't you feel that by using these kind of words you prove them right?
italians are gorgeous my dear
Hey Italy, can we borrow your president?
@VitoAndoliniCarlayun u can say that again...I too am shocked!
You got love those real latin women on Silvio's channels.
Lasciate l'Italia agli Italiani.
the documentary lady was probably the oldest of all the females featured here but she was also the only one i found attractive. it wasn't sexual, obviously, but i did think she was beautiful- maybe because she was using her brain and mind and had a living conscience.
3:50 ... no ? How can you say that ? ahhaah do you know everyone in Italy ? ...
ancient rome-today italy is 10.000 worse than ancient greece-today greece
it's worse
yes he is, for men its ok, they love it,
Italian tv rocks
I love watching this. Give me more Berlusconi filth!
I'm not american.
@JakeandElwoodBlues Yes, silvio is better than rocco in this discipline...
Long LIve Berlusconi!
17:30 is he serious?!
@Yupiyeahs It´s the fact that there is a demand for it, not that women do it. Of course it´s their choice, but why must there be such a high demand to sexualize women and pay them shitloads of money to be objects?
This is Why I didn't see italian TV! I'm so shame about mt country: Italy is a banana republic!
well, she's probably right but....bring on the girls!!! :)
they produce this type of tv becouse it cost much less to produce than a documentary or a serial. Not other reason. believe me.
italians are not stupid,
1:53 o yeahhh
vabè w l'italia e gli italiani, quelli veri che apprezzano tutta la nazione!
it's always been like that, in the early 80's i saw a weather report that showed the weather on a woman's breast. although in all honesty, they are suffering from an incredibly low birth rate. maybe their just trying to pump that up alittle
Silvio is cominig back baby :-)
bravo adesso mi piaci, gli altri lasciamoli nella nebbia fredda come loro hahahah
