In fairness, they were originally going to ask for $4.5 zillion, but they were afraid people might not take them seriously.

That's why Andreas Wank's main sponsor is Kleenex.

Yup! And when the construction project was put back on schedule, the headline was "Young Boys' Wankdorf Erection Relief."

But surely it depends on whether it's working, right? After the first 60-odd crosses yielded no goals, it's not unreasonable to expect a diversification of tactics, is it? Even the Fulham manager said it was pretty straightforward to defend.

What do you mean by "this one" on the Glazers? Today's match? Because I put that down to stupid tactics from Moyes. 81 crosses against a team with two 6' 6" CBs and a 6' 6" GK? Stupidity, plain and simple. United made Dan Burn, a 21 year old kid with 4 EPL starts who spent last season at Yeovil Town, look like Tony…

I'm American and didn't grow up with soccer strategy, so I'm not accustomed to criticizing managers - I figure most of them know a lot more about the sport than I. But if you're United, and you're lining up against a team with two 6' 6" center-halves and a 6' 6" goalkeeper, isn't bombing in 81 crosses in 90 minutes…

If I could star this a hundred times I would. I think the phrase "zero tolerance" does not exist in any European language.

Interesting - I never heard about that. The player himself said he had never had a banana thrown at him and wasn't sure it was racial, whereas soccer fans will do things like chant "Auschwitz is your homeland, the ovens are your homes" at teams with (perceived) Jewish backgrounds. And then there are the human…

I don't follow a lot of US sports, but I assume the crowd would beat the shit out of him.

The problem is that Russians are misunderstood. Why, Roberto Carlos was offered bananas TWICE by Russian soccer fans who were concerned about his nutrition, and look how he responded. It was a gift, FFS! Ingrate.

"Male professors openly ogling female undergraduate students."

I'm half Polish, so it only took me 5 minutes to get this joke instead of 10. +1

Wow, what a reference! I thought I was good because I once quoted Dead Kennedys lyrics in a comment, but Martin Guerre takes the prize. Well done.

"Can't handle constructive debate and dialogue? - just block comments to make yourself feel good"

"Do you report on it? The answer, of course, is that you tell the professor whatever s/he wants to hear, pick up your A, and move on to the next class."

Yup, you can't read the joke. FYI:

No, that's FEMINISM's target demographic. Jezebel's is more like Angela Wright from the MadTV show. Pump up the blackitude!

I have a solution for anonymity WITHOUT using Tor. I call it "leading such a mundane, insignificant life that hacking me would make the hacker wonder why s/he wasted his/her time and effort."

I kind of like his version - he's honest enough to make it clear that he shouldn't be covered in glory either. I would have been much more annoyed if he had gone with "I wasn't doing anything! I was just sitting there watching the game and then she attacked me! For no reason! I'm suing her and her family and Alabama…
