Golden velvet

This poor couch just never had a chance, did it? The frame, the excessive padding, the colour. It's just all too much. Franco Cozzo, you've done it again!

Chinese Cozzo

It's not just the wogs who go mad for a bit of over-the-top furniture (and before you go thinking I am being racist, I'm not - check out the Aussie section of this Wikipedia entry for the meaning I am going for). Having quite a few friends from Chinese backgrounds I know a couple of them - mainly in Melbourne's eastern suburbs - whose parents would think this was the height of good taste.

It appears Franco Cozzo has some rivals over in "the Far East", as some crazy people in England still refer to China.
