Italy imposes harsh new laws — no kissing in a moving car, no sandcastles, no wooden clogs,Nominee

During the reign of Silvio Berlusconi, over 150 laws to crack down on anti-social behavior have become a part of daily life.

A young couple sitting on a monument in a piazza in Vigevano, a town near Milan, had to pay a fine of €160 .  Another couple was caught kissing in a moving car in the town of Eboli and had to pay a €500 fine.  In the coastal town of Eraclea, it is forbidden to build sandcastles, as they “obstruct the passage” of those strolling along the beach.  And don’t even think of wearing wooden clogs on the island of Capri — they’re too noisy and have thus been banned.  In Venice, it’s a €500 penalty to feed the pigeons.

Kissing a pigeon in a moving car while wearing clogs? Probably a life sentence.

    The only stupide one it the sandcastles for the others it make sense.
    - you don’t sit on a monument.
    - kissing in a moving car specialy if the driver is involved, Italian road are
    “molto pericoloso”.
    - those wooden clogs should be banish everywhere.
    - and the pigeons are filthy flying rats.
