buymepants asked: Ciao! Sono americano ma, I would like to present one different theoretical skew on the controversial image. In America, many Italian products are attributed to high-end, luxury, or specialty goods. An American perception of the mark "Made in Italy" can subsequently reverberate this sentiment. The juxtaposition of the ship blunder with the regard for Italian workmanship makes the image a pun. The American viewer feels superiority in seeing the imperfection of people they consider superior.
You have completely right. I know the meaning of ‘made in italy’ all over the world, so you can understand my rage when it is approached to such a big failure.
But that’s not the point. The point is that, as you said, ‘the american viewer feels superiority..’ , well, i do not want nobody to feel like that just because someone from another country made a mistake. That is what people all over the world do and that is so unfair!
The United States of America are a great country, because their people are mixed people, european, african and asian. But sometimes it seems like they do not care about nothing but themselves.
Have you seen ‘The truman show’? The moment when he was a child and asked the teacher ‘Sorry what is out of here?’ and she answered ‘nothing’, well, i think that if the people of the most powerful country in the world started asking that, it will be a better place here.
