Silvio Berlusconi has been running Italy since the 80’s!

Look at this advert­ise­ment. “We dedic­ate the new Casio FX-750P pocket computer to Silvio Berlusconi.” It would be one thing (although a weird thing never­the­less) to dedic­ate a computer to him if he had been pres­id­ent in the 80’s, but he was merely a media tycoon. I guess it would be like HP dedic­at­ing a computer to Rupert Murdoch, or more appro­pri­ately, dedic­at­ing a Timex Sinclair to Reg Grundy.

Here is proof posit­ive that this is the man who wears the pantaloni in Italy, for better or worse. He’s Italy’s lovable quasi-dictatorial, excess­ively vain, loafer-wearing Casio consumer!
