No shit! News says entire nation of Italy is having a blackout???

Anybody from over there can confirm this?

Am I the only one here who sees what's wrong with the above post?

this always baffles me - on webmaster boards you have webmasters from all over the world but you NEVER see an Italian one.

It don't mean a person has to BE there, that's freakin' obvious, I asked anyone FROM.

Figures they'd know via either phone lines or relatives.

**Greg B** · 09-27-2003, 10:41 PM

There was a dude on the 'Coast To Coast AM' show last night who predicted there'd be a major blackout in Europe and lo & behold there was one.

hi

**harvey** · 09-27-2003, 10:54 PM

it's late to call relatives, but guess it must be true.
well, just a power outtage, in the country where I live (Argentina) there was a 17 days power outtage 2 years ago thanx to the new US/French electricity company that raised bills 275% but didn't invest a dime. the worse that could happen is my cousin Renzo didn't have his "ristretto"

I missed it last night, did he say what the cause would be?

I forget what he said the cause would be but it was something scary.

That's why soon as I got back from class tonight, turned on the puter I got the news alert. I hadn't heard jack shit and had the news on on my walkman for hours.

So I got the news via my wire alert soon as it broke I guess.

But that dude who called last night was EEEERIE and he said something scary about a massive european blackout for Sunday and WHAM he was dead on balls accurate.

I don't think Art Bell even got the news yet although he was fast-blasted the info.

I think that's freakin' weird.

We're not aware of anything really serious. There are some problems.

thought so! still no Italians residing in Italy posting, and this is over years and years. Italy is known for being a sexy country, Sophia Loren, Rocco Siffredi, and it's a major country so you would expect lots of Internet porn activity from there. I've never seen one content provider shooting out of Italy. Almost like the adult Internet doesn't exist there.

**iroc409** · 09-28-2003, 12:31 AM

this reminds me, when i finally buy a house, i'm going to have redundant electrical systems.

even if i didn't have the internet at my disposal, i could still work or play games

**harvey** · 09-28-2003, 12:36 AM

well, what would you do if you have God in your own city keeping a close eye on you?

now seriously, believe me there's a lot of content shot in Italy, but it goes mostly to euro market (first Rocco shoots, Angelica Bella, Cicciolina, Moana Pozzi and the list goes on and on). Recently all marriages, baptism and ceremonies celebrated in a church were considered nule because somebody found out a porn flic was shot at that church, go figure. The producers told the church authorities it would be some innocent plot and they rented the church to make a marriage scene. But they also made some sex scenes and the ground is not sacred anymore
