No privates scratching in public

200x175.jpgAn Italian court has mad a landmark ruling banning men from scratching their crotches in public.

The court in Rome made the judgement after hearing the appeal of the 42-year-old man who had been charged with gross indeceny after scratching in public last year.

Describing his actions as "an act contrary to decorum and public decency" the man was ordered to pay 1200 euro (200 fine and 1000 legal costs)
The judges said in their ruling: "The touching of genitalia in public is a sign of ill manners and must be considered against public decency.

"The rules of social etiquette require all of us to abstain from what might be considered offensive to public decorum."

Superstitious Italian men often hold or touch their private parts for good luck when they see a hearse or to ward off bad luck.
