ITALY WINS TEH WORLD CUOP!!!1111!!!!1

Well, after a month of shameless promotion at the hands of the Worldwide Leader and it's parent company, Satanco, the World Cup has ended, with Italy winning a gripping shootout against France, 5-4. The game was marred, unfortunately, by physical play, including a vicious headbutt by Zidane. His unwelcome display of testerone, frustration, and out and out brutish behavior was in stark contrast to the typically welcomed display of estrogenical flailing, faux injuries and of course, behavior that rivals most high school dramas in terms of actual acting abilities.


By the way, I guess ABC felt the need to remind America that the center of the sports universe is Boston. Following the Italians moment of triumph, we were treated to a cutaway to Rome and then to the Bean...where I suppose WORLD CUP FEVER has eclipsed the fever pitch of the Sawx. Regardless, you would think that the good people in TV would have cut to a place where there are a lot of Italian soccer fanatics. Like Italy. But, regardless, until The Big Stein buys Disney-- and rightfully sending ARod for his princess dress fitting-- this is what we're stuck with.
