Text Message Flirt Fined

Italians love their mobile phones and often carry out love affairs over them -- but they must beware, flirting with text messages can carry a fine - or so reports Reuters.

"A judge in the northern Italian town of Padua on Monday found a man who sent an unsolicited compliment via text message guilty of harassment and fined him 300 euros ($391), Italian news agency Ansa reported.

"Since you appeared before my eyes I can't do anything but think of you," the man had written to a clerk while on lunch break, Ansa said. She took the offending text message to the police"
