The power of the Church

Silvio Berlusconi e il duomo

Or, “La Potenza della Chiesa”.

Silvio Berlusconi is a joke, an embarrassment to Italy, and a slimy toad of a man who has bought his way into power, and amazingly has held onto it, presumably because his media empire still churns out thinly-veiled propaganda about him. Take a look at some recent news stories if you’re still doubtful as to his joke status as a “world leader”.

Well, I though I’d have a little fun with some third-party javascript plugins for Illustrator, and while I had half an hour to kill in an airport just outside of Milan, I thought a topical subject would be Berlusconi’s recent brush with the church. A marble replica of quite a specific church, actually.

And while I hate Berlusconi for his crimes against the Italian people, I’d just like to say I don’t condone or support violent protest. I just think it fitting that the object that anti-abortionist, catholic, right wing Prime minister gets assaulted by is a model of the church.

If it’s your thing, you can buy a copy of this poster through Zazzle.
