Berlusconi is everywhere, even on toilet rolls

Mon, 18 March, 2013 (Saint Cyril of Jerusalem). Customs officers of the port of Venice find a container full of toilet paper portraying the former prime minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi. 

Toilet rolls that smile at you

The news was first published by the local newspaper Il Gazzettino, that learned how the port of Venice's authorities informed the Public Prosecutor's office about the finding of a container full of toilet rolls with Silvio Berlusconi's photo printed on it (on any single sheet, to be more precisely, you can find a picture of the media tycoon).

As the newspaper acknowledged “heavy loads of goods with a low market value” might hide cigarettes of other smuggled goods, but this wasn't the case.

Neither there was any forgery of symbols covered by copyright, as far as the prosecutors and the officers knew (the only way to stop the cargo would have been a complaint by the subject of the portrait – Silvio Berlusconi – who did not contacted the prosecutors (actually he usually tries to avoid magistrates). Possibly he never got to know about the discovery.

Anyhow, since no irregularities where discovered, the toilet paper shipment was allowed to continue its way to retailers. End of the story. Lame? Yeah, possibly not our best post so far... but we couldn't just miss out another funny story about Silvio Berlusconi.

P.S.: If you d0n't know exactly what toilet rolls are, here's the link to the wiki info.
