Giovanni Brusca is known as ‘the Pig’ or ‘il Porco’ for his slovenly appearance and huge craving for Italian posh nosh – Lasagne, Barolo and olive oil. He once admitted to killing at least a hundred people and to top it all, he tortured and murdered an 11-year-old boy. He also detonated the huge bomb that killed anti-mafia magistrate Giovanni Falcone, his wife and three police officers in 1992. Mr Piggy is now in prison. What would you say to ‘il Porco’?
“Porco – You can’t help yourself because you are just a machine programmed to kill and torture. Tough on you fatty because free will is an illusion.”
“Mr Piggy – Tragically both you and your victims have bad karmas. Bad luck, my son.”
“Porco – All of your wicked deeds have been secretly ordained by God. In fact you are part of the divine. Well done fats!”
“Mr Piggy – Repent, resist the devil and follow Jesus, the Prince of Peace. This is the gospel of our Lord!”
