...wonder Italians are increasingly turning to alternative sources of information. The last few years have seen the rise of free dailies, handed to commuters outside subway stops. With limited budgets that rule out big-name commentators, they've had to offer their readers something new: straight news. On a recent Thursday, when the front page of La Repubblica offered three articles on Berlusconi's admission that he was "not a saint," the free Metro carried a much more relevant headline: "H1N1: 15 Million Youth To Be Vaccinated." Online, Beppe Grillo, a comedian turned political blogger, has a large, vocal following...

But seriously, Brown in the number one slot? Would most people even put them in the top 25? Do Seth Cohen and Serena Van Der Woodsen's fictional college dreams play a big role in the ranking process? Emma Watson is going to Brown; it can't be that...
...Yale—We're not saying they beat us, but how could they not crack the top 25? This is the school that produced the Bushes, the Clintons, Kerry, etc. Also, have you ever seen "The Skulls?" Classic bad-but-good movie, plenty of douchebaggery...
