Silvio Berlusconi could have been impaled by the dagger-shaped gargoyles of his attacker's souvenir cathedral statue
At an emergency session, the Executive Board of Tacky Tourist Photos unconditionally condemned the use of a souvenir statue to attack Italian Prime Minister Silvio Burlesconi at a political rally in Milan:
“Whereas souvenir statues are meant to be peacefully displayed on dusty bookshelves and mantelpieces…. And whereas the Duomo Cathedral of Milan is a beacon of serenity and a timeless cultural treasure….
“TACKY TOURIST PHOTOS universally and irrevocably condemns the unprecedented use of a souvenir shop trinket to mercilessly break the nose of Italian leader Silvio Burlesconi.
“TACKY TOURIST PHOTOS also condemns the use of snowglobes, souvenir back-scratchers and novelty salt-and-pepper shakers as weaponry to be deployed against elected officials of any government friendly to the United States.”
The Executive Board resolution is the third time that Tacky Tourist Photos has taken a formal position on an international crisis related to tourism. The board had previously condemned the brutal souvenir coffee mug attack on the Mona Lisa and the outrageous Minnie Mouse groping incident at DisneyWorld.
