Unpolite?

Yes, those Italian journalists, right up there as always with the English language! From the March 1st, 2010 edition of “La Repubblica” and an article on English historian Denis Mack Smith. Journalist Simonetta Fiori states that Mack Smith (apparently) says the following: “..very unpolite”? Or should it be “impolite”?

In another article in the very same paper on singer Lady Gaga, Repubblica’s Laura Putti says that during one of her concerts, the following appeared on a screen: “What the fucking have you done”? Fucking, or “What the fuck have you done”?
