Iranian Husband Condemned to Buy 8100 Poetry Books
A man meets a woman, falls in love with her, marries her and eventually leaves her. It’s a love story like many others but, in this case, the conclusion is really “poetic”: the man is condemned to buy his ex-wife a mountain of poetry books. An Iranian Court has ordered a man to purchase 8100 books worth 700 million Rial (about 50000 €). Four years ago, the couple drafted a premarital agreement on the basis of Islamic law. An abandoned wife usually wants money, real properties or jewellery, but our abandoned wife belongs to an intellectual family and is a poetry lover. Last week another Iranian husband was condemned to give his ex-spouse 124000 red roses. Maybe this stranded wife has a flowers shop or is an American Beauty fan.

Italian Singles Make Merry in the St Faustino’s Day
It is said that Italy is a country of saints, poets and navigators. So is not strange that just the Italians invented the St Faustino’s Day for singles. On 15 February the Italian singles take revenge on the lovers. This celebration was launched in 2001 by the portal Vita da Single and is already popular in the whole peninsula. Is a Day rather agreeable, where singles who don’t hunt the soul mate and infiltrators from the opposite front, who look for some distraction, make merry in restaurants and clubs. Are there some gadget too? I think so, perhaps a packet of condoms by Dolce & Gabbana. After that saint and that creative, now the Italians can unleash their travelling spirit and to export the Faustino’s Day all over the world. This time the Kuwaiti politicians get a shock.
Valentine’s Day Is not Loved in Kuwait
I want to start by saying that I hate Valentine’s Day. It’s a stupid, superfluous celebration that kills romanticism. Therefore, I am not so outraged because in Kuwait two Parliament members proposed to ban it. Wednesday the Parliament debates the motion, but I forecast Valentine’s victory. The Islamic politicians always turn everything in morality and religion, but Valentine’s Day is only a business and Kuwait is accustomed to the business. So, I think the Kuwaiti shops will keep selling camp furry hearts, how horrible! The soul mate, a love for life: only a lot of nonsense! OK, at the moment I’m single. So what?

Chinese Gay Pride
Photo credit: Dois gais by Thiago Fonseca
Yesterday the China Daily published a mini reportage about homosexuality, whit a photo portraying two Chinese men’s ardent kiss as well. Read it! It’s very interesting and really revolutionary too. As a matter of fact, the China Daily is the mouthpiece of a country which, until few years ago, jailed the gays. Have a good read.
