Conservatives Angered by Gladiator Liplock

Italian conservatives are none too thrilled with a new animated video promoting the upcoming Europride Roma and featuring two gladiators locked in a romantic embrace.

Stefano Bolognini, a spokesman for Europride Roma, says right wing politicians have declared the ad unconstitutional. He says the ad was inspired by archeological graffito found many years ago in the Ludus Mugnus (the school of roman gladiators).
