Brad's support for Torino during the selection

comment here are, to my mind, very out of place and could easily suggest
to many that there is pressure being brought on them.
Allow me to clarify that I did not vote in this years selection process,
and have no intention of voting in next years. My comment about Torino
was based on two things: the closeness of the competition this year, and
my own love of visiting Italy in the summer, which I don't get to do
very often. It was intended as a personal remark only... to cheer up
the Italians. :)
