Europe and Italy

We have here a flash animation made by Bruno Bozzeto:
http://www.bozzetto.com/bio/biography

It tells the story of how Italians are different from the other Europeans, as if they weren't Europeans at all.
Bozzetto shows the different attitudes of stereotyped Italians and the stereotyped European in common situations.
For example, there's a situation when they show Europeans asking for coffee. All of them ask for regular coffee. Then, the Italians in the same situation start asking for all kinds of coffee, with cream, no cream, American, Italian, large,small, etc.
In another "scene",Bozzetto shows the way Europeans do sports; they are very athletic and really capable. When it's the Italians turn, and, instead of doing exercises, the Italians are shown watching TV.
In general Bozzetto says by the animation that Italians have no consideration for the others (for example when there's a No-smoking area and they start smoking there just because they can't).
In my opinion artists have a very special way to combine humour and tease all at the same time making an animation flash very amusing and instructive too.
All I can say is...
The animation achieves ends in pasta! That means that at the final scene, the Europeans and the Italians are mixed up and became a plate of spaghetti.
I found this little animation hilarious and thought that people can't be mad or offended by it because it's just a big joke, even because the creator is Italian!
