Without ever knowing a single thing about any of their past political inclinations, previous rulings, or judicial views, I would have still automatically assumed the Italian Supreme Court was full of horny old dudes.
“Italian Supreme Court? Buncha pervs,” I would have said.
And you know what? I would have been right. They have been ruling left and right in favor of horny Italian men getting their rocks off whenever they feel like it.
Last October, the court saidit was NBD if a man looked at some pornography on his lunch break. Whatsamatta you, they said to the plaintiff, who simply didn’t want her coworker to watch porn in her presence.
Today, they continued their pervy streak, ruling it is okay for a dude to jack off in public.
The case stems from a man known as Pietro L, age 69, who was sentenced to three months in jail for jerking off in front of some university students.
According to the court, “the act is not included in the law as a crime” and therefore Pietro the Perv could not be jailed.
In taking their decision, the supreme court judges noted the fact that the Italian parliament passed a law last year decriminalising the offence of lurking in places frequented by girls in order to be seen masturbating.
… WHAT?
Check back in three years when Italy is a nation of nothing but over-50 men where pornography is blasted on public screens everywhere and the economy has ground to a halt because every male stops 15 times on his way to the office for a crank sesh.
I’m booking my ticket today.
