The 28-year-old Argentinian has been fired from her job as a social worker for being enterprising.
An enterprising government employee is a rare thing indeed.
But Pellizzari may have gone too far by posting naughty photos and video of herself online in a desperate effort to boost her meagre earnings and pay off her student loan.
The saucy snaps soon turned to porn and when one of her sexxx-rated videos went viral, she was fired.
The aspiring porn queen admits she makes “a lot” from the sex vids and never hid the fact from the good bureaucratic burghers.
And, for the record, she isn’t a prostitute. All the men she had sex with on camera were “professionals.”
“I am not embarrassed about the videos; my family has known about what I’ve been doing right from the start, and my work colleagues too,” she told local media. “I never hid it. But when the managers heard and one of the videos went viral, they got annoyed about it.”
Her bosses claim she was spending too much time making porn and it was affecting her work.
HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW
A follicly-challenged Spanish man died when his hair transplant operation turned out to be more than a close shave.
According to the Daily Star, Rafael Bolado Marino, 39, was getting the same process used by former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney when things went wrong.
Marino was administered a local anesthetic at a clinic in Bilbao when he suffered a heart attack.
He died later in hospital.
So far it isn’t known what triggered the fatal heart attack and the clinic says it’s never happened before.
Rooney — now starring for DC United — admitted spending $50,000 on the implants.
MUGSHOT MANIA
Sometimes, this space just has utterly nothing to say about the mugshots of certain jailbirds.
This is one of those times.
JAPANESE ACTING SWINISH
We don’t want to be boar-ish about this but a new coffee shop has opened in Tokyo that not only delivers delicious cafe lattes but also baby pigs!
The cafe Mipig is a new three-storey establishment “where you can feel relaxed with a lovely micro pig.”
According to CNN, the pigs featured at the cafe don’t belong to a certain variety — they’re just small, baby pigs that will eventually grow larger in size.
Apparently, people like pigs.
According to the American Mini Pig Association, pigs make excellent pets because they’re emotionally intelligent, highly motivated by food, easy to train and furless, making them hypoallergenic.
Besides a good cup of joe at Mipig, animal welfare is the top priority and customers are told to wash their hands before entering so they don’t infect the pint-sized porkers.
FOR THE ARMCHAIR SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR
Finally, the next piece of the toolbox for the woke — yet lazy — social justice warrior.
A company in France sorts out proxies to stand in for you at the big protest.
Wistand lets wannabe activists feel like they’re doing something when they’re really doing nothing at all.
Oddly, the idea was reportedly inspired by the Yellow Vests anti-government protesters.
The company said renting a protester costs a flat fee and that it isn’t politically aligned.
For an extra fee, your protester will wear a printed t-shirt, hat and carry a banner.
Could Queen’s Park in Toronto be next?
