Italian comedian starts V-Day

This is an intresting yet older video on Italiam Comedian Beppe Grillo who speaks out against government. He questions how in Italy their democracy allows them to speak what they wish on TV, newspapers, but when it comes to the internet they are much different. He has started a blog several times and has been recently successful. Everyone has tried to start blogs in Italy but they never stay around they get notifications to take them down. So Beppe has started a movement to speak out against the politicians specifically some of the laws that keep people in power for ten years. He wants the citizens of Italy to see how currupt their system is so he has created "V-Day." 1.5 million people were involved in V-Day which started on the Internet. He states that 1 in 10 politicans have a criminal record and that this outlaws are the ones controlling the government. He doesn't want convicted people as politicians and others serving more than two terms.
