EGUAL PAY FOR EGUAL PASTA

Today came to Rome a new champion for egual rights for women. Natasha O’Brien, the American artist of food, flied in especially to meet with the workers in the Maladente Macaroni Factory. She was wore a tomato-coloured dress and bright zucchini colour shoes. A woman of good beauty, she flied especially from London when she learned that the ziti division of MMF was getting a rise in pay but the all-women spaghetinni section got no rise.

Aldo Maladente spoke to reporters from his home near Verona. He told them it was all a lie.

Mss. O’Brien (who is not the daughter of the great Pat O’Brien) spoke to the women who marched outside the factory. “Basta il pasta” (Stop the macaroni), they called for over 18 hours. Joining in the marching, Mss. O’Brien said over international satellite televisione that she was “Goddamn mad” and that she sported the cause of the spaghetinni workers. “Why they should get less lire?” she asked. “It’s as hard to make spaghetinni as it to make the ziti.”

Aldo Maladente spoke to reporters from his home near Verona. He told them ziti was harder.

Stella Fubini, leader of the striking spaghetinni workers, said that it was harder to make spaghetinni because it was more fragile than “the fat pig ziti.” Fubini urged all Italian women to stop serving pasta for 49 hours (two days). She reminded all Italian women that in China they live without pasta and the Cultural Revolution was a successful because the workers fought against fascist regimes by eating only rice.

Mss. O’Brien told how pasta came from China in Marco Polo to Italy. Fubini told the crowd that ziti did not come from China but was a product of the fascists to see that men had more pay than the women. Everybody cheered. Fubini told that the flag of Italy (red, white and green) was red for tomatoes, white for garlic, and green for peppers. “We do not need pasta to be great,” she said. “The people of Italy should unite under their peppers until the fascist rats give us the same pay they give the men for ziti.”

Mss. O’Brien said she would come back again, and she said she would in person make a telephone call to the factory owner.

Aldo Maladente spoke to reporters from his home near Verona. He said “yankee go home.”
