In a country where bella figura is a national pastime, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the maestro of media manipulation.

Quantity, it seems, does not equal quality. Fed on a diet of semi-naked dancing girls, inane competitions and rickety reality shows built around the most ridiculous of premises, is it any wonder that Italians are becoming a nation of fame-hungry wannabes?
