Facebook 21st Birthday Event Titles



Plot. Mario is a bricklayer. He works all day and evening as part of a damned tired at home. Every night is the same old story: you eat in front of the TV, watching the news, to say nothing and then you go to bed, watching a movie in half, you fall asleep and then again the following day.
One day, however, things changed for Mario. Back home after work, sit down, turn on the TV, tune in Channel 5 and the bite si ferma in gola.
Qualcosa è cambiato.
Il tg non è lo stesso. Sembra che la tv non vada, trasmetta un'immagine sbiadita. Colpa del digitale? Mario chiama un antennista che il giorno dopo arriva puntuale a casa sua. Insieme guardano la tv e pure l'antennista rimane di stucco. Le immagini paiono ad entrambi più vecchie, più appannate.
Allora Mario chiede ai vicini condomini se anche loro hanno lo stesso problema. Ebbene sì, anche loro hanno lo stesso problema di nitidezza.
Senza sapere come spiegarsi la faccenda Mario decide di rivolgersi direttamente alla tv.
"No, signor Mario. A noi non risulta nessun problema" è la risposta dal call center.

Passano i giorni e le immagini di tutta Mediaset seem to have something in common, other than the first. Mario talks about it every night with his wife, children around the table. And the debate continues in the bedroom. Then the next day at work communicates more with his colleagues because of this fact. All have the same problem and nobody knows how to explain it. Then one night
Mario notices a wrinkle. Dell'anchorman a wrinkle on her face. Surprised to see something never seen on TV is tuned to another channel. Also presents you with wrinkles.
night after the script is repeated, if not worse. Soubrette by falling boobs, thighs Smale, cellulite in sight, grizzled hair, receding hairline in the sunshine ... But what was happening?
Mediaset had lowered the level? Those persone in tv sembravano più normali, con gli stessi problemi di tutti, meno spettacolari. Ma più simpatici. Più divertenti. Mario provava addirittura pena a volte per quelle persone.
Poi la notizia: il proprietario di una televisione, nonché presidente del consiglio, aveva deciso di vendere ad un' azienda esterna l'intero reparto truccatrici. 56 donne lavoratrici fra Roma e Cologno Monzese che vengono scaricate da un amabile amatore: l'isola felice di Mediaset voleva esternalizzare un settore basilare per l'immagine; le lavoratrici, intuendo cosa stesse succedendo (precarizzazione con conseguente perdita del posto di lavoro) incrociarono le braccia e scioperarono.
Era in atto la rivoluzione della televisione. Indeed, it was a revolution taking place in costume.

The Day After Tomorrow

Plot. A country wakes up in a new day, a new year. Everything looks the same: the tram, roads, sidewalks, churches, television, newspaper kiosks. Everything, in short, in place.
But one thing has changed, but one is enough to make this already incredible and unsurpassed in the New Year: no accidents caused by Pops New Year's Eve, no one who blew himself up a hand with a firecracker, no one who has reduced meatballs in his fingers. None.
transmissions tune dedicated special event, the newspapers are mourning the absence of news - because those who had prepared did not materialize. A country completely different one without an accident, a country no longer normal but completely renovated.
And a platitude like that then people realize that everything, even the most unimaginable things can break the norm and change. The people began to leave early from work to spend more time with his family and friends, spend more time with their hobbies, the economy slows, supermarkets close, they change all the rhythms of society, all by an unexploded firecracker.
But it will be gone really well, you ask the people? Or is it just another bale of cloth?
Then the entire society begins to look around, ask to see if anyone was really hurt during the celebrations of the first year. People from the beginning of a real investigation on a large scale, all to safeguard the objective truth of events. A large team of researchers looking for evidence of information. They run the whole country from north to south, from east to west, exchange information, results, creating a powerful network of contacts, and it seems that no one has actually blew up the phalanges.
Then jump off a child from a hospital. With a stump instead of the lower limb.
A victim of the festivities.
"It was actually a firecracker dud" ensures the child, still in shock.
"But then ... this changes everything ..." starts to think about the people. "I mean that nothing has changed. History is behind us."
"But look," says the child "You are changed."
Already, people have changed. How? Pursuing a shared goal, that of seeking the Truth? And all from a fact of daily life, a normal occurrence that has not happened this year as every year. People are incredulous
back to his life changed by new rhythms. It still does not understand how did he make change everything.
