I won ducati blog contest!
Thought y'all would find this amusing.
I had posted a really cynical comment on ducati blog in Italian to the effects of what happened when minoli found out that picsof the 1098 had escaped prematurely.
EMPLOYEE wakes up minoli in the middle of the night!
EMPLOYEE: "Mr minoli, pics of the 1098 have escaped!"
MINOLI: "You're kidding... (horror in his voice) all that work and sweat keeping them secret, and one damn mouseclick by some deviant and the whole thing has gone to sh!t"
MINOLI: "tell me, do they (ducatisti) like it at least?"
EMPLOYEE starts sobbing uncontrollably.
It's not as funny in english - it's tough to translate italian humor. but anyway, I won for "WORST" comment and received an email from minoli's secretary saying that if I sent her my info she would email me a ducati t-shirt... how cool is that?
thought I'd share.
Alex
PS. you can check out the whole contest on blog.ducati.com

Dude.. don't give out your address. I think you are getting a visit from the italian mafia and not a T-Shirt.
Cool story. enjoy

Couldn't he have been sobbing uncontrollably with happiness and joy??
If it was meant to be funny that's how I would have understood the translation.

I'll send out a pic of me wearing the t-shirt when I get it... we'll see how messed up of a shirt they send me then I guess.
