there's a video clip of this italian game show. unfortunately, i don't know how to post it here. but here are supposedly some facts:

this guy, host paolo bonolis, wears a wig to "imitate" how a filipino looks like.

in the show, the audience had fun laughing at the gags, which are supposedly putdowns for filipinos.

the text of that comment is translated from italian to english as follows (courtesy of bing online translation). being a computer-generated translation, it's a loose and imperfect one, but we can get the drift:

Blizzard, you might say, Paolo Bonolis, that during the program Forward another performs in the gag in which she wears a black wig with Filipino and typical accent provides pearls of domestic economy: ' I'm Filipino and I do cleaningÂ». A curtain that caused the angry reaction of the Filipino community. Also because, as emphasized by several representatives of the community, the disguise of Bonolis is introduced by the Philippine national anthem, heard by presenter holding a rag from dusting.

It is not an idea brullante, undoubtedly, especially if added to the frankly unfortunate timing of gags, arrived just a few days marked by the tragedy of the earthquake and the typhoon which hit the Asian country. So, a counselor of the Campidoglio, Romulo added Sabio Salvador, Philippine, wrote a letter to the authority for safeguards in communications (Agcom) on behalf of the Filipino community residing in Rome and addressed the National Bureau against racial discrimination (Unar) and Mediaset, asking for the production of public apology to Filipinos.

'The community is outraged by the representation of the new character proposed by the presenter Bonolis, "Filipino"-reads â€“ which offers a stereotype so limiting the Filipino, who speaks in an unintelligible and works as a domestic worker. This parody "is even more deplorable â€“ continues the letter â€“ as it aired in a time slot that counts among the spectators even teenagers and children, contributing in this way to diffuse a hateful message that is opposed to the principle of integration between cultures which should, instead, be encouraged in a multi-ethnic society like ours.

Last but not least, as described has particularly touched the sensibilities of Filipino community that in this delicate moment of national mourning because of Typhoon Haiyan, would need moral support rather than free their dignity offended. " A slide, to Bonolis, undoubtedly. Accustomed to conducting style to poke fun at competitors, sometimes even over good taste, this time he hurt his accounts and lost the sense of proportion.
