George Clooney's latest Italian home has become the target of vandals and hooligans opposed to the movie star's plans to take control of picturesque Lake Como. Activists have broken windows and scrawled on walls at his Villa Margherita home in the northern Italian town of Laglio, after learning of Clooney's plans to buy a public beach on the shores of the famous lake and make it his own. According to show business magazine In Touch, Clooney recently bought the home as he begins developing the area around his first Lake Como mansion. And locals are annoyed with his plans to take over properties and beaches and turn it into his own private spread. Local Laglio councilor Roberto Pozzi, who wasn't one of the vandals, says, "Our group will oppose any concession or occupation of public spaces. It is one of the few openings to the water, and it's used by residents."
Yes, but Roberto, you don't understand. Clooney is a compassionate liberal who cares soooo much about the common man. He probably just doesn't want you plebians polluting the precious natural resources of this pristine environment. You know, kind of like the senators from Massachusetts and Martha's Vineyard. It's in your best interest, Roberto. Sucks you're too stupido to realize it. By the way, the next time Clooney opens his mouth about how obnoxious Americans are to Europeans, kick him in the shins for me. And then steal back my seven bucks for Ocean's 12. I'll beat my two hours back out of Matt Damon.
