Bless their twisted little souls
I've written about
Sims torture before, but I didn't know that there was a LiveJournal community devoted to it (I'd link to it, but LiveJournal is screwy about handling community links).
Google is your friend accomplice.

Heads Up
If you've got an old pair of those goofy 3D glasses somewhere, you might want to find 'em.
Just sayin'.

I have no idea
Well, *that* was amusing. I attempted to translate the title using babelfish and found out that "La Calandria" is Italian for "The Calandria". Imagine that...

I pulled up this title on IMDb, and someone's given a synopsis:
This movie is set in the Middle Ages in Assisi. Lidio (Lando Buzzanca) is a womanizer who's caught in bed with the Duke's sexy wife (Barbara Bouchet). To spare his punishment the Duke makes a bet with him. Lidio must seduce the old Calandrio's young wife Fulvia (Agostina Belli), Lidio accepts the bet. In order to complete his mission Lidio must disguise himself as Madame Aurora, Fulvia's lady in waiting. Calandrio is unable to get turned on by his own wife but Madame Aurora's presence arouses him. A lot of misunderstandings go on from there. Fulvia and the housemaid fall in love with Lidio and demand him to constantly fulfill their desires. Calandrio gets help from a fake doctor in order to conquer Aurora. It's hilarious when the doctor convinces Calandrio to disguise as a woman for a secret rendezvous with Aurora (who has to disguise as a man!!) and makes the old man think he's invisible. The ending is shockingly funny. Great performances by Lando Buzzanca and Salvo Randone(Calandro). If you like a comedy with the naughty Decameron-type twists then you will like this one.
Which suggests that "Calandrio," the masculine version, is a title of nobility or something, and therefore "la Calandria" is the spouse thereof, a duchess to the duke, or something like that. Maybe. It's hard to be sure with all this Sixties Italian raunch around.

LOL I love IMDB, but never thought to look this one up. I just thought the poster photo was so "WTF?" that it was worth sharing.

The poster invites two questions: "Is this a still from the film?" and "And if it isn't, why the hell not?"

Obviously, they were asking for it
Isn't that what they used to say about rape victims?
From Alphecca, I see that muggings and related robberies in the UK are up at least 8 percent this year (and one study says the increase is as much as 22%).
Rotten criminals, eh?
The newspaper headlines say "Rise in crime blamed on iPods".
Remember, there are no bad people. Just people who do bad things. Can't be blaming crime on the folks who commit crime, it must be those darn victims, just begging to be robbed. I can see it now: crowds of people, waving their arms and shouting "Me! Me!!! Rob me!", jumping up and down as they try to be noticed. And those poor put-upon muggers... having to wrestle with that temptation every day. It's inhumane, I tell you.
And it's all our fault. When a society invents iPods, it deserves whatever comes to it. Or so some people want you to think.

I sure am glad these lib cowards are blaming iPods now.First it was guns,then it was knives and then air guns.Always something but themselves.No responsability for their own actions whatsoever.Take a clue America,this is where we're heading if Commies like Hilary and Edwards get their fat asses in the White House chair.
Hell they don't even let cops have guns over there.Of course that's why you can call the cops till yer blue in the face and they ain't gonna come.Thinks I'm kidding?Hang out at Alpheca's,Gunlaw News or Keep and Bear Arms and you'll see stories like this all day,every day.
Now I have to admit that some of my fave stories come not from England but from our own Peoples Republic of Maryland.Dozens of patrol units out prowling the streets ticketing anyone who leaves their car running out in front of their house because it "encourages car thieves".Apparently the whole idea is to perp a money making scam by targeting the innocent as apposed to having nads enough to go after the real problem.
My all time fave injustice,again from Maryland,was the woman im Prince George's county who called the cops to report that her Christmas presents had been stolen from her Blazer which was sitting in her driveway.Now you would think that the cops up there would be man and/or smart enough to go after the perps but what do they do instead?They give the lady a ticket for leaving the stuff in her car and "encouraging crime".I shit you not!It was on the news last Christmas and that's exactly how they said it.Wake up America!

Cool. Watching those '69 Mets speed past the Cubs at the end there is inspirational.
