    I think it's real.

    In any case, you just have to love italians and Italy.

    In central Italy there was a small town with quite a problem with hookers and their customers. Basically they (the hookers) were all over the place, while the men of that city tried to defend themselves saying customers were from other places near their town.

    Just to prove it wasn't so, the major installed a giant screen in the main square showing images from various security camera installed where there were more hookers. Incidentally, a very few cars were seeing there during those days.
    After a week or so they were forced to shut down the screen as it was violating some privacy laws, or something like that.

    On a side note, as hookers are mainly from other countries it seems (and as 90% of them are forced to do it), it's common in that area for 13 YO girls to "hang out" with 18-20 YO guys, as I understood from a girl I met. Note that she was older than me .

    That's it - it's near Abercrombie Street. Last time I went past it there was a 1950s MG Magnette out the front.

    Was that camo effective on a ship? I would have thought it'd be basically an exercise in futility trying to optically hide a smoke belching noisy engined hospital ship.

    ^ yes, very effective there are some great examples out there on the net showing the mind****ery
    a main example is it simply confuses U boat captains as to which way the ship is facing, causing torpedoes to run wide - yes they see the ship, but then they can't hit it.
    i think the postie bike should be done in a digital camouflage vinyl print.
