Santo Cielo!

Check this out.

Seriously, do we really think the Italian populace is clamoring to read about fictional American financial scandals when they have things of this nature to occupy them?

(Don't you just love that collection of words: "things of this nature"? It may as well be made into one, single word, at this point--er--I mean, "at this juncture.")

Perhaps I should weave a government official into my next novel.... Oh, okay. You caught me. I already have. A pretend one, mind you. As much as I claim to want some sort of scandal to generate a little interest in my book, I'm really just teasing.

(Sort of.)

I was wondering the other day what my scandal name would be. Balloon Boy and Octomom are already taken (and I had really been hoping for Octomom, I tell you.) So it occured to me that I should look for a Scandal Name Generator, akin to the always-popular Stripper Name Generator and Wu Tang Name Generator...let's see if I can find it for you.... 

Santo Cielo di nuovo! Look at all the different kinds of names one can generate. Hippie names, leprechaun names, superhero names. But no scandal names.

Clearly, there is a need. I'd do it myself, but I'm trying to cut down on entrepreneurial pursuits. They make me so sleepy.
