Conan O'Brien's Stalker Priest Blues



Father Forgive My Sins Now Stop Stalking Me!

Celebrities are no strangers to stalkers but Conan O'Brien gets "Most Original Stalker" with the news that a 46 year old Boston priest, Rev. David Ajemia, was arrested for allegedly stalking the late night talk show host, even on a trip O'Brien had made to Italy.

O'BROTHER! Conan O'Brien has been stalked across two continents by a twisted Boston priest, police say, and once got a card from him — postmarked in the same Italian town he had just visited.

November 9, 2007 -- The Boston priest who was busted for stalking Conan O'Brien followed the "Late Night" star all over the country - and even popped up in Italy in search of his obsession, police sources said.

Italy Bans "No Anorexia" Ad Campaign:

Ads Call Attention to Anorexia

Italy has banned the "No Anorexia" ad campaign because it called attention to anorexia? From the BBC:
Italy's advertising watchdog has banned an ad campaign for a fashion label showing a naked anorexic woman, saying it breached its code of conduct.

The image "commercially exploited" the illness, the advertising body said.

The image, bearing the words "No Anorexia", was first displayed during Milan Fashion Week in September.
At first, one might wonder, how does one campaign against an illness if it can't be named? But then it's realized that Italy's authorities thought it smacked of exploitation. Free speech arguments are another matter. Although Italians live in a democracy, they do not have American constitutional 1st Amendment safeguards.

It's enough to spark a hunger strike.
