Big brother babe wants to sell her virginity

Capitalism is alive and well despite the rough ride in the financial markets the last few days.

A former Italian Big Brother contestant wants to sell her virginity for a million Euros (US $1,438,500). Ex-showgirl Raffaele Fico made the offer while posing for racy photographs in an Italian magazine. Ms Fico, 20, a devout Catholic, wants the money so she can buy a house and take acting lessons.

Why lose it to some guy in the backseat of a Toyota when you can make a cool million? It makes sense. But why would you want to pay all that money for such a messy uneventful experience?

I thought Catholics were against prostitution. It must be something in the water or being a Big Brother contestant that makes them do strange things.

Would someone really pay that much flipping money for it??

Seriously, maybe she should settle down and just give it away for free like all the rest of us.

Ministry of Silly Walks, Monty Python The Pythonites knew how to deliver lunacy, but perhaps their greatest skill was in establishing the foundation for, and then slowly building upon, absurd premises. Case in point: this classic sketch, which opens with the sight of John Cleese buying a newspaper and then taking weird, gigantic steps down London's streets, and becomes increasingly funnier with each new development. Cleese arrives at his job, which a sign surprisingly informs us is at the Ministry of Silly Walks. He passes by other strangely ambling co-workers and into his office, where Michael Palin asks for help in developing his not-very-silly gait so as to receive a government grant. Cleese's ensuing demonstration is a tour-de-force of physical showmanship, his strikingly long legs bending in ways both hilarious and awe-inspiring. It's the newsreel footage of silly walks from yesteryear, however, that truly cements this sketch's status as one of Python's greatest hits Back to top
