So, yesterday I received a phone call.

[kasche]

It went approximately as follows.

Me: "Hello?"
Unidentified Woman: "Hello, Madam--"
Me: *raises eyebrows* No, not another survey.
UW: "--I'm calling to remind you that on the 3rd and 4th of April the local elections will take place--"
Me: "Yeah. Yeah, I know." ¹
UW: "--and, regardless of your political color², I'd like to suggest you to give your vote to a woman. To [name I don't remember], from Forza Italia."
Me: *jaw hanging*
UW: "So, remember to place a cross over Forza Italia's logo, and write [the name, again] beside--"
Me: "No, thanks."

And I hang the receiver. Now, point one: who the hell gave them my number. Why all the privacy talks we've heard about over and over again don't come into this? Point two: 'regardless of your political color' my arse. Point three: asking me to vote for a woman. Why should I vote for a woman just because she's a woman? I'm going to vote for the person I think is the best. If it's a woman, so much the better, but it doesn't come first. Point four: why do you think you have the liberty to phone me to tell me who to vote?

/end rant.

¹: At this point in time, I started to wonder whether it wasn't just a recorded message. (It wasn't, by the by.)

²: i.e., black or red. Idiomatic expression.

Come on, Bruni, she's a fascist motherfucker, an ultra conservative asshole, but she is a woman!
Idiots.

Privacy? If you think there's any left in the world you're soooo wrong, baby!

So, are you voting for Female Candidate for Forza Italia, right? :)

I missed you! I love you ::hugs::

I think if I ever voted for Forza Italia my parent would disown me. XD

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Er... I mean parents, plural. They both would do it. And then send me to a psychiatric hospital for life. ^_^'

Sorry for spamming you, Bru!

[kasche.livejournal.com]

I didn't even notice the plural. ;)

Huhuhu! I can only imagine the shouting match between me and mum, was that the case. I have to say I'm glad we agree at least on this. :P

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

That's a very respectable reason to disown a child. If I were your mother and you voted Forza Italia, I'd disown you :)

*hides Forza Italia pamphlet*

*whistles*

Of course I'm voting for her, do you need to ask? :P

I asked two-three friends yesterday, but they didn't receive the call. Guess who the lucky one could be? Bah.

I knew it! Girl power! :P

You know, as if women weren't capable of being more sexist and anti-feminist than any guy out there *sighs*

They want you to join the Right-winged Red Cross :)

*mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah*

Oh, no. I have to draw the line somewhere. :D

(Never mind that I would draw said line much before that. And while I'm there, I'd sketch the puppies at the end, just because.)

[spacedye-vest.livejournal.com]

mwahahhha I knew there'd be a punchline like that after "I would draw" the line :)

You're so cute!

Woe and disgrace! I'm getting predictable!

Oh well, peace. It's not worth getting too worked up. :P

*huggles*
