I found that phrase at the Killers website

I guess the people who said that it means "smile like you mean it" are right, since that's the title of one of the Killers' songs... Maybe "media" means "to signify or to mean" under a certain context?

"the Killers" is a rock band...

I'm an Italian native speaker and I have to agree 100% with the answerer above me. That sentence doesn't make any sense. It's just a bunch of random Italian words.
It's definitely NOT "smile like you mean it", which in Italian would be: "sorridi convinto", or "sorridi con convinzione", "sorridi come se davvero volessi sorridere".
"Media" means either average (your "media" at school would be your GPA) or the media (mass media).

I'll be curious to see what the answer for this one is. I ran it through a translator and it came out a very butchered Italian for "smiled like you media it". I also tried English to Italian for "smile like you mean it" and got "sorridere come lei lo significa". I am betting that it is the last expression but incorrectly written.

I'm italian, but "sorriso come voi media esso" has no sense...
Or better...
sorriso=smile
come=as
voi=you
media=average???
esso=it

It really makes no sense, I speak well italian...but then, where you found it says it all (a site of Killers???) They sure wanted to kill yourself by asking this question all your life (I've seen it around Yahoo Answers before)
