Looking at the logs… Hello Italy!

The site got noticed by “Vanz” in Italy and he posted a link to the “How they hurt us” post. He got a couple of comments on the link and one in particular that I’d like to address:

copia e incolla tutto quello scritto su quella pagina per qualunque marchio che tenta di vendere un life style piu’ che un prodotto. che poi prendersela con luxottica che ha rilevato brand americani che erano ne piu e ne meno la stessa cosa, sa taaaaaanto di fuffa anti europeista. se i brand restavano yankee li avrebbero criticato lo stesso? - pm10

Translated by GoogleCopy and paste everything written on that page for any brand that is trying to sell a life style more ‘than a product. then blame Luxottica brand that has found that Americans were no more and less the same thing, you know taaaaaanto of fuffa anti-European. if the Yankee brand them have remained the same criticism?

First off, I’m not anti-European. One of my cars is European. My favorite appliance is my Rancilio Silvia (I could drink espresso all day). I watch Formula One and my favorite sporting event is the Tour De France. I don’t honestly care where Luxottica is located — they have a huge presence in Ohio. It would be easier for me to criticize them if they were an American company — because there would be no language barrier.

Additionally, I think you’ll find that the vast majority of people in the United States are not anti-European. That’s a fallacy brought upon us earlier in the millennium by an administration currently on the way out. 

Luxottica isn’t helping the world see. They’re helping themselves to the world’s wallets.

P.S. Thanks to michele boroni, glad you like the site — and others like this — and to Vanz for the link and for tagging me as “Semifamoso”. Good stuff!
