No but seriously, nobody can be that stupid and still biy prints from him right? I get the that are stuck with tokens, but giving him more money is just really really stupid. Had enough changes to make things better and he didn't and still hasn't.

The variant set was already crimped upon - it was not Italian for the GF1 var either.

Since basically half of GF2 is in Italian I think it makes perfect sense to have the Italian text for the GF2 variant and not for GF1 or GF2. I actually think its one of the few awesome things about these posters. I like the colour scheme a lot better on the variants as well.
