Our media are telling us that The World Cup is a largely friendly affair full – barring the odd drunken ruckus – of bonhomie and big Bavarian boobs. Some fans threw some bottles at some police people some time last week, but, hey, that’s some silly sod’s idea of a good Saturday night anyway. And sure there was a little plastic chair throwing – but it was nothing a little sit down in a quiet little room wouldn’t sort out.
That’s all balls (ho-ho). I now work for a German-owned news agency and it’s absolute chaos over there. Last night in Leipzig, 45 Italian Ultras desecrated a holocaust memorial (with pork and poo). They set fire to shops, and had a 20-minute running battle with mounted police. Guerrilla tactics included breaking the horses’ legs with scaffolding.
An Australian living in Leipzig (“I’m not even a big fan…”) was nailed to a tree.
The Brits are no better, the Poles were worse. We have footage of a German hooligan tearing someone’s ear off, and of two British “fans” pissing on an Ecuadorian quadriplegic.
So why don’t you know about it? I have no idea, I’m afraid. I’m not too hot on conspiracies and weapons of mass distraction – but why aren’t these images being broadcast? And how is it possible to manipulate the media in this day and age?

I am sorry for laughing at his joke.
It was funny though.
I wouldn't mind reading some of these stories, they must be somewhere on the Internet.
This might sound of topic but it isn't. I have wondered about this myself in the last few years. Blair wanted to raise the profile of good parenting skills as part of his package to improve public behaviour; a package that included the Sure Start Initiative for instance, and suddenly, over the last few years, TV has been flooded with reality programmes about good parenting. Like the Media got behind his aims. It all seems a bit pat and does make me wonder if the established media is allowing itself to led a bit here. Then again that seems too unrealistic a scenario.
Its a thought though. Does Media imitate life or life imitate media?

The trouble is Elvis, no one is going to believe anything you say because you always make (made) things up.
But anyhow, yeh, my general impression is that it's all about the party atmosphere this year. In fact I was just thinking about how they had managed it this year. I thought maybe the "cracking down on hooligans and ruffians" policy was maybe starting to work. These incidents you mention seem to contradict the general message the media is currently pumping out. It amazes me that they're not telling us this stuff. here, in good old blighty. I generally thought that you couldn't control the media like they seem to be able to in America and other countries.
So I'm surprised, really.
gets ready for Elvis to throw a flan full of flange on my face and piss all over my chips with golden bullets

I think you're getting confused here. The official report was an Argentinian "fan" ate a baby carrot.

She was a medical giant with a mouth like Terri Hatcher on the front cover of this month's Glamour magazine. Or She. Or whatever.
That reporter lost his microphone and his forearm. And he was a bodybuilder. And she said that was like inhaling a fly.

OooOH look at you Mr Elvis, Mr Corporate suckbag, Mr Boardroom-Presence-Smythe. How dare you put your career, wife, children, pension and future prospects before TMO? What? you wanted to earn money? You want to be a rich man, Impress the ladies, buy Tesco Finest?
I've never stopped posting mofo. I've never put my own welfare before TMO and I still live like a wealthy italian.
I wear the finest clothes by Ciro Citterio, created using the latest technology. I get a bit of dirt on my suit and I just stick it in the washing machine and it gets clean - that's how quality they are.
I eat only the finest ice cream by Gino Ginelli - (Egg-free, containing no animal by-products.), . I eat only the finest pasta (Tri-colour giant fusilli) You know that shit aint cheap.
Basically I am the absolute bollocks and I still post on TMO.
You, however, disgust me. You've sold out man, sold out! If benway was still alive he'd be disgusted too.

This is the PROOF that Breetain is full of englishey suit boys with they're eye-holes on the next promotion and not a care or a tapped forelock to TEH TRUTH OUT-THERE.
I looked for the articles against the War on the Terror, fuck all. I said, politely, but what about the Iraggi oil? Its all about the oil you useless fouls. But nowt, nada, zip. What happened to the slightly soiled journos of 'Defence Against the Realm' or 'All the President's Men'?
A semen-stained dirty mac used to be the proud badge of the alkie journo. These fuckers don't even smoke or get totally pantsed on expenses. Closest they get is champers at Spearmint Ringo whilst a disinfected and disinterested barbie doll gyrates her polished mimsie-pie a legally defined distance away from their slavering mushes.
I exaggerate, only last week Toby from accounts touched one of them on the thighboot, but he's bloody mad.
So what's the point of them? These Pravda-boys. They hide evidence of aliens and scoff at the very real problem of Tibetan tunnelling (which is how illegal smellagrants get into Rule Britania in the bloody first place). Hardly any decent journo these days has ever even had a bum-affair with a cabinet minister because they're all drinking perrier with their chums in MI5.
And that's the truth, but does anyone come out and say it. No siree, they just treat me like a leopard, an ostriched social piranha.
