Ah, Italians. They're a passionate, fiery people that answer to the logic of amore, and amore alone. They're a race of lovers. Their olive skin is often thickly-haired and usually glistens with the sweetest of sweet sweat -- that which is born of loving. They take their sustenance from not only delicious pastas and all manner of tomato-based saucy delights but also from the sweet, metaphoric nectar of the heart. Not blood, amigo. Love.

Was Casanova not Italian? He was. And Romeo? He was, as well. Mark Anthony? Both the historical figure that was ensnared by that deceitful brown seductress, Cleopatra, and the bug-eyed pop sensation best known for his ode to forced anal sex, "Dimelo?" Si, si, and si.

So why did CNN.com deem this article newsworthy enough to list as a Top Story?

No amount of technology will change what history and Hollywood has taught us. The streets of Rome are crowded with men screaming "Itsa nota what it looka like!" while being chased by womwieldinging frying pans. They always have been and they always will be.
