Video: Beautiful Italian Women
How can one find the most beautiful woman in Italy? A Japanese expert determined the following method:
- Find a random woman on the street.
- Ask that woman to introduce the film crew to a more beautiful friend.
- Have that more beautiful friend introduce the film crew to an even more beautiful friend.
- Repeat until one meets the 12th woman – she will be the most beautiful woman in Italy.
A Japanese TV show traveled to Italy and attempted this method, and the results are in the video below.
Do you think most of the girls in the video are attractive?

Schoogirl Man Shows Off His Appearance
This story gave news illustrators something fun to create for last night’s broadcast:
NIIZA, Saitama Prefecture–A man wearing a girl’s school uniform, make-up and a wig was arrested after shocking students and then trying to blend in at a high school here, police said Thursday.
Tetsunori Nanpei, 39, of Musashino, Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of entering the Saitama prefectural Niiza Senior High School without permission on Wednesday.
He told police he had bought the school’s uniform on an Internet auction site.
“I came near the school because I wanted to show off my appearance, which was wearing the uniform, to the students of the school,” police quoted him as saying. “But some students (outside the main gate) who saw me started to scream.
“So I entered the school grounds, thinking that I could disappear among the students.”
But Nanpei, who stands between 175 and 180 centimeters tall, just didn’t fit in.
Students inside the school’s grounds also screamed, prompting Nanpei to flee, police said.
