"Let's remove the stench that isn't there." Let's try. Benito Urgu comes out with one of his to cool the can-can unleashed on the social, and not only, on the joke of his son David of the Sardinian shepherds who stink .
The outburst
«Never said such a thing, I am very sorry that a joke made by a shepherd dressed in South Tyrolean and not Sardinian costume could have triggered all this buriana. Can anyone ever think that I, who have been traveling around Sardinia for 35 years with my father, may have said or only thought such a thing? But let's not joke, we wanted to amplify a joke that wasn't there, that didn't touch Sardinia but also other regions of Italy. But at the most I would have expected that the shepherds of Alto Adige were pissed off but not the Sardinians who only had to do with it because I am Sardinian. I do not understand".
Ah, social media!
Benito and Davide, father and son, question themselves in front of the great fireplace that spits as hot as the social networks that are running at the maximum on the "stink". Benito, as a seasoned artist, knows the times of entry and exit, when to lower and when to raise the tone: "I started my career as a Sardinian shepherd, I have told about it far and wide and in all the dialects of Island. Even now I play “Italia uno” on TV with Chiambretti, the Sardinian Cagliari fan who is pissed off at Mazzarri and others. But everything is done for laughter, even Davide did it for that but not in the terms that have been amplified in the social network. I don't want to blame anyone but I defend my son who didn't do anything wrong, he just wanted to entertain the spectators ».
The chronicle
Davide confesses to Benito and the reporter the whole story, minute by minute. "Very simple. They call me to Milan to make some launches at "Paperissima Sprint". The unscheduled stinker skit was improvised. One asks "Ite novas?". The presenter Roberta Lanfranchi (with a blocked nose) and Gabibbo attribute the stench present in a hut to the presence of the Sardinian shepherd - Davide Urgu, in fact - who "washes once every five years". I dressed not as a Sardinian but, perhaps, as a South Tyrolean shepherd. I wonder: what the Sardinian had to do with that I never mentioned. You can like and dislike the skit but I didn't want to and never offended anyone. I am not only sorry but saddened, I would have thought of everything unless it came to that. It is right that there are those who manifest dissent or consent, I have not offended anyone and I am convinced of this as opposed to someone who writes comments that cannot be commented on. The fact that the scene shook someone hurts me very badly, it just wanted to make people smile and instead here we have to defend myself from nothing ».
