3. I like soccer as do most people, finding our football brutish and weird
but then I lived in Canada. Hockey? Not so much. Curling? ugh. The game we should see more of is rugby.

4. Awesome video
Edited on Fri Jun-25-10 12:24 AM by AsahinaKimi
But it seems to me I recall hearing somewhere, a few Americans saying that watching Soccer was just UnAmerican and this game was boring, and only foreigners watched it.. and the fans would always riot after a game!

The same people who praised soccer moms, before hockey moms became all the rage. Its nice to have a video that proves that some of these Americans were wrong.

5. Who the hell gives a sh*t?
We just let BP ruin the whole F*CKIN" planet.

But hey.

We won a stupid sports game!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hitler used to give the German masses sporting events to keep them distracted and preoccupied while he F*CKED up the country and the world.


Same difference.

By the way, the relief wells are NOT going to work. BP is even doing the spill response in a half-assed manner. The relief wells also have blowout preventers and BP is going to screw them up like they screwed up the FIRST ones.

The drilling of the relief wells is also ahead of schedule. Is this because BP is finally doing something right for a change or because they are once again taking risks and cutting corners to save time and money?

The correct answer is Door Number Two.

We are looking at a third of the world's oceans, containing much of the plant life that supplies our planet with oxygen, being poisoned TO DEATH. The planet is about to suffocate to death.

But hey. We won the sports game.

Well whoopie ding dong.

None of those people cheering are athletes or heroes. They are just watching OTHER people be athletes.

Ever hear of the wife who tells her fat lazy husband sitting on the couch that he ought to get some exercise? And he replies, with pretzels and beer in hand, "I exercise. I'm sitting here on the couch watching a football game, aren't I?"

You woo-sie!
You woo-sie!
You woo-sie!
You woo-sie!
You woo-sie!
You woo-sie!
You woo-sie!

6. No levity. Levity is forbidden, wrong, and improper. Self-flagellation is mandatory.
Fiction shall be abolished. Music too, except protest songs. (But they must suck, good protest songs are forbidden too, lest people have fun.) Idiot.
