希臘網站新招 發詛咒帖釋壓

Greeks fed up with their pesky neighbours, old flames, the government, or society in general can find release in a new Internet site that posts e-curses for free.

"Have you been dumped, harassed or angered? Why not unload with a curse?" offers (), which currently has more than 150 entries.

Most postings on the site are from jilted lovers but there are also contributions aimed at Greek taxi drivers,banks, the public sector and even Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.

"May his next pasta meal give him salmonella poisoning," one user rants against the premier, whose love of food is a popular barb among opposition media.

In Athens, locals usually relieve stress through a variety of offensive hand gestures, most frequently whilst caught in one of the caPital's trademark traffic jams.

"Studies by (EU statistics service) Eurostat show that Greeks have gone from being positive and relaxed to having the worst stress in Europe ... over job uncertainty and the collapse of traditional social structures," sociology professor George Piperopoulos told the daily Ethnos, which publicized the site Saturday.
對鄰居、舊情人、政府乃至整個社會感到不滿的希臘人現在可以登陸一家新開設的專門網站免費發佈“詛咒貼”，發泄自己的不滿情緒。

該“詛咒”網站向人們發出邀請：“你被拋棄、感到煩惱、生氣嗎？何不來 詛咒一下呢！”目前該網站上的“詛咒貼”已超過150個。

多數發貼者都是被戀人拋棄的人，也有一些發貼者詛咒出租車司機、銀行、公共服務部門，希臘總理科斯塔斯•卡拉曼利斯也成了網咒的“靶子”。

一名用戶發貼詛咒他：“希望他下次吃飯時沙門氏菌中毒。” 科斯塔斯總理對於美食的熱愛經常成爲反對黨媒體攻擊嘲諷的對象。

雅典人在遇到煩心事時常用各種攻擊性的手勢來表達不滿、宣泄壓力，這在人們遇上堵車時最爲常見。交通擁堵堪稱希臘首都雅典的一大“標誌”。

社 會學教授喬治•皮佩羅普洛斯在接受《民族報》的採訪時說：“歐盟數據服務中心（Eurostat）開展的調查顯示，如今，希臘人自信、放鬆的生活狀態已不 復存在，由於工作不穩定和傳統社會結構的瓦解，希臘人現在已成爲歐洲壓力最大的國民。”上週六的《民族報》刊登了該詛咒網站的宣傳廣告。
