Italian Barmaid told to stop dressing sexy



I've got my local haunt, and although the the atmosphere is immeasurably awesome, I will concede that the people behind the bar(Lord bless their souls) could use a little sprucing up. It seems that the Italians don't appreciate a little skin. Haters gon' Hate.

Daily Mail – After eight years running a bar, Laura Maggi suddenly found men beating a path to her door. Not for the quality of her coffee and aperitifs, but because she had started appearing for work in highly revealing outfits. Hundreds of male customers flocked there day and night, leaving their cars double parked in the surrounding streets. Congestion became such a problem that the lady mayor announced she was considering an emergency bylaw to limit traffic in the area. Now women in the small northern Italian town of Bagnolo Mella have declared Le Cafe out of bounds to their menfolk – and 34-year-old Miss Maggi has become a national celebrity. Yesterday she was a guest on the Italian equivalent of This Morning and said: ‘I don’t see what the problem is – it’s just a bit of harmless fun. ‘If the guys come here what can I do? ‘I know I have upset the women but that’s not my problem. ‘It’s not my fault if guys want to come and have a drink in my bar.’ Bagnolo’s mayor Cristina Almici said: ‘We have received several complaints from women about the bar and we are looking at what we can do with regard to public order. ‘There has been a huge influx of traffic into the town since the news of Laura started to spread and this has led to incidents of bad parking and some minor acts of vandalism.

BMW M135i Turbo Concept



There'll be no objective writing from me when it comes to BMW, it's gonna be biased all the way.Decked out in classic BMW  M Livery, this hatch adds some balls to the 1 series hatch.

Titled the M135i, BMW created a concept that entwines a twin-turbo and pure gasoline-powered inline six cylinder engine to a newly developed 3-door hatchback body style. Designers claim the shape provides “a more dynamic and elongated appearance” complemented by a custom M-designed suspension stance, wide flared wheel arches, 18-inch Motorsport division exclusive wheels, and aggressive front air intake design. No word on a release date or availability as of yet.

DMX Breakfast Club Interview [Video]



DMX, has never been one to bite his tongue, it's a trait that, can be appreciated in todays world of ambivelence, sub tweets and subliminal shot taking. He steps in with the Breakfast club, for a rather lenghty pow - wow. I could just put up excerpts from the interview, but I feel it's done a lot more justice when viewed in full, also covering my ass, so as not to put anything out of context.

He touches on issues with Def Jam/Jay Z, the same issues we've heard from a countless other Def Jam dropouts. His thoughts on a few of todays most poular artists, namely Rick Ross, Drake and J.Cole. He says it so straight that it make Commons "sweet," look like a veiled diss. I would be remiss not to comment on X's twitchy demeanour. I'll be listening to the music to see if he can get back to those old heights.This rap shit is tough to crack without some friends in your corner, especially when you trying to make a comeback.

Odd Futre gets a show on Adult Swim (Trailer)



A lot of you don't even like the Odd futurist movement. Many of you praying for their demise or for them to slip into obscurity. Guess, they got a little more stamina than most of you expected, leveraging off the internet buzz to extend their 15 minutes a little longer.

 Odd Future’s Adult Swim TV show, Loiter Squad, finds the crew in a green room being completely consumed by cheeses of all sorts. With seemingly full creative control, one can only dream what OFWGKTA has thought up for their “lightly” scripted series.  To quote one of my favourite scenes in  Gladiator, The mob is fickle, brother. He'll be forgotten in a month. This looks like a black version of Jackass..
