Roman Fiddling Gets Taxing

Maybe it’s the dawn of a new Papacy – or maybe the Italian government realizes the best thing about the place is the wealth of hot, hung dudes who don’t mind dropping trou for the hundreds of straight and gay porno mags we always find on the streetcorners in Rome. Whatever the reason, Italy is in the midst of making a law that would put a 20-percent tax on pornography. The Associated Press says that the tax could raise up to $260 million dollars a year. One lawmaker says it’s necessary to tax “not essential” products to close a budget gap. Budget Gap? That’s it! We needed a name for our set-in-Congress porno film, starring Nancy Pelosi, and now we’ve found it! Thanks again, Italy!
