Scratching your genitals in public in Italy can land you in trouble if you're caught. According to a report on the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Italy's highest appeals court has defined the 'act' as "contrary to public decorum and decency."

Ass-pinching, however, is still a right!

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!

tell that to a three year old boy who's just checking to see if they're still there!

Ouch,
Baseball takes another hit.

Next farting will be a crime.

What if someone's scratching their butt and their finger accidentally slips in between their legs and hits their scrotum?

Is butt scratching still allowed?

from the article

It is a superstition among Italian men to "grab" their genitals to ward off bad luck, such as when a hearse passes by or when disaster strikes.


That must be a sight to behold -- a group crotch grab every time there's a funeral in town.
Guess when they're in the middle of a mafia war between familias the town's cajones really get a workout.

"Guess when they're in the middle of a mafia war between familias the town's cajones really get a workout."

Typical racist.

"Grabbing your genitals in the presence of other people is a manifestation of custom and education in the complex concept of ethical and social behaviour" said the judges.
I concur.

Yomama -- so quick to call everyone a racist -- but who is too cowardly to even answer if he has ever posted here under another name.

So, Yomama -- have you ever posted on DR under any other name. Yes? No?

I read your other comment, JOMAMA, about you using your name for 20 years.
So where have you been racebaiting all this time other than on DR? You've been a busy boy on here calling everyone a racist or implying racism every chance you get. I used to like you when you first came on here but want nothing to do with you now. Can't stop you from commenting but sure can ignore you. btw -- did flag you for your "typical racist" remark and your other remark on the other thread. Keep it up.

it's NOT a crime

Nah, but it might cause a crime when your wife shoots your perfidious butt.

So does this mean it's NOT a crime if some gal fondles my genitals for me?

It depends on how ugly YOU are.
If you're really ugly-they may slap HER in jail-just for having bad taste.
Or-in your case-bad testes.......

How about crotch sniffing? Is that still legal?

Another person who doesn't know how to use the word.

Since when is Italian a race?

A quote from the movie "Just One of the Guys"

Fake boy-"Well, maybe my balls won't itch"

Brother--"All balls itch"

Up yours Italy!!

The court also said that the practice is considered a crime even if the gesture is done to "repel evil" or bad luck.

Itchy balls are suddenly bad luck?

Is it only yer own crotch yer not allowed to scratch?

So does this ban on crotch manipulation mean that Micheal Jackson and half the rap acts on earth can no longer play in Italy?

Okay, that kinda makes sense.

Ever watch a baseball game? Those morons spend more practicing their ball handling skills on
themselves than with a baseball.

Are cartoons exempt from this strange new law?

Spud to Italy: Nuts to you!

Be Well.

What if you used some sort of crotch scratching aid, sort of like a back scratcher.

How about if you have your hand in your pocket and adjust. Does that count?

No wonder Michael jackson never played the Colosseum

Sooo, how bout those itchy crotches?

Is it a crime to scratch the crotch of someone else?

I mean if they ask...

I'm sure the Democrats here will follow suit. One more reason to bring law suits. Maybe the Dems. blood sucking trial lawyers will find a way to tie crotch scratching to that evil Wal-Mart Corporation...or global warming.

crotch scratching to that evil Wal-Mart Corporation

Technically it was crotch fucking that led to walmart. Then it evolved into cornholing the American worker.

Oh yes...poor unions can't control Wal-Mart, so Wal-Mart now cornholes the American Worker. Right!



Greatest Oxymoron of all?

UNION WORKER


Does this just apply to just men or is it both?

"Typical racist.

Typical idiot...

scratch if it itches, even in your britches.

isn't it nice to know that politicians are taking care of the countries important business?

We need to have a truly accurate definition of scratching vrs. fondling. I might dig in and go for minerals and Alex might just go at this with a gentler kinder way. Although, one way scratches where it itches and the other causes you to have "other needs".

Last but not least, if in Italy and cited, do we go to court and do a demo? Film evidence?

???

This takes stupidity and illogical reasoning to levels I thought they would never see.

I would hope that in the interests of public decency, but also fully recognizing public need, Italian authorities will provide crotch scratching kiosks.

they still haven't gotten around to hauling off 6-yr old boys in handcuffs for hugging little girls.

Great, just what we need, another place for Republican legislators to hang out by.

Geezer you sure are getting CROTCHETY over this. ;0)

JO.. JO.. JO. I am sure that if obama called you in the middle of the night and told you to check the tire pressure on your house you would do it.

Bet me, bitch?
