Not Surprising In The Least

Anyone who tells you that Naples is not a shithole is lying.

I tried to tell everyone this when I had the very unfortunate chance to walk through its filth-encrusted, fish-head piled streets back in 1999. But would anyone listen to me? Noooo. "Oh but it's so pretty!!" they protested into their art history/travel guides and iced lattes.

No it's not. It's just NOT.

It's decaying and gross and disgusting and covered in excrament and rotting fish heads.

I seriously wish this was an exaggeration.

Being one of the bigger Italiaphiles out there, it pains me to paint this vivid and quite smelly picture of an Italian city that should otherwise be un bella citta. But you know what? I aint lyin' people.

Yea, lots and lots of history, and my main man Caravaggio chilled and painted and was generally a little rabble rouser down there for a while, but that's not enough to get me to risk life, limb, and laundry to journey there ever ever again.

Naples fucking sucks, man.
