Beppe Grillo in The New Yorker

Beppe's Inferno: A comedian's war on crooked politics tells the story of Beppe Grillo, one of the most visible bloggers on Movable Type.

Mr. Grillo's story is a compelling one. The Italian comedian, known for his outspokenness regarding political corruption, started blogging at the advice of web consultants Casaleggio Associati when traditional media shunned him for his risqué routines.

Il Blog di Beppe Grillo, now available in English, Italian and Japanese, gets thousands of comments per post and serves as an integral tool in Mr. Grillo's fight against government injustice.
