This reminds me of the nativity scene sold in Italy in 1997 that included figurines of Princess Diana, Mother Teresa and fashion designer Gianni Versace, all three of whom had died that year.
H.L. Mencken once said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people." I guess the same can be said of the Italians.
When I was growing up, it was an unwritten rule that no storekeeper would ever start exploiting Christmas until after Thanksgiving. I guess with the recession, the adage is, "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
