The chicken tortellino amid political controversy, bloody clashes between opposing factions and the splendid irony of the most savvy. Here is a gallery of the funniest memes
As we all know, the Net does not forgive. She knows how to be ruthless, hateful, infinitely polemic, not rarely lying, and yet shrewd and often able to surprise us with her sense of humor.
The background
And this happened also this time, on the very occasion of the controversy, as specious and useless as it was bloody, between the opposing supporters that was unleashed on October 2 on the occasion of the proposal to add alongside quintals of classic tortellini alla bolognese with filling to pig, a few pounds with chicken filling to meet the Muslim community (but also to those who have various problems in eating pork, without forgetting that not even Jews eat pork).
In short, as it was renamed, the tortellino of the reception it will be proposed, just in Bologna, on Friday for the feast of San Petronio, with the blessing of Archbishop Matteo Zuppi.
The controversy
Open up the sky! An affront to our culinary tradition! The arrows started immediately from the sovereign Lega with the words of Matteo Salvini (who in a recent past had posted the image, very little traditional, of a plate of tortellini with sausage ragout that was preparing to taste) followed closely by the candidate in the next regional elections, just in Emilia Romagna, Lucia Borgonzoni, the same one who a few days before had declared that the region she would like to govern borders on Trentino-Alto Adige.
Thus a part of the Net began the usual routine of phrases and fake news brought to the test of no one knows what, shouting at the scandal of betrayed traditions and conspiracies against the Italian civilization, with hundreds of users who have left / launched his own thought often without having read the many articles in online newspapers that also explained how things really were, but only based on the titles, almost always misleading for questions of pure clickbaiting. Inevitable the reply of the other part of the supporters who responded and tried to explain, a supporter sometimes more informed, sometimes guided by simple common sense when it is in the presence of news clearly not very credible, but often composed too from a certain share of users full of the spirit of partisanship and little inclined to verify the facts and therefore also often victims of fake news that lead them straight to support nonsense.
The irony
But then there is another part of the Net. The one we like the most. The one that knows how to play with irony and satire and that makes us laugh, often managing to play down and, at the same time, asking ourselves questions in all their gravity or uselessness.
Here then we have made a quick tour of the Internet to track down the memes that made us smile more on the issue of the tortellino of reception.
Good laugh everyone!
