A cultural and political experiment involving Wanker Offsetting. For everything in society that really pisses me off in the next year, I Tommy Lassoo, general waster and recovering lazy sod, will do something creative, inspirational and wonderful to counteract it.

The opposite of hate World Cup special
Okay, so it's an unlikely title for a blog from a confirmed football hater - but seriously, for some reason or other the 2010 World Cup has reached a Lassoo milestone.
Yes dear readers, for the first time in the cup's 828 (or something) year history I don't give a shit about the world cup.
I don't find myself being annoyed at all the twatty plastic St George's flags everywhere - even the ones that see fit to write ENGLAND across them, as if you didn't know what they actually stood for in the first place. Nor am I irritated by the tens of thousands of companies who think it's brilliant to use the World Cup to hock their shitty products 24 hours a day. I care not for the casual sexism of ejected blondes in orange or the casual xenophobia of pundits only giving a shit about a national team who really aren't going to win - because you have to score goals to win.
I can safely say that the World Cup has barely affected my life, and as a result I feel a vague warmth toward the competition and its followers.
So in celebration of me not being pissed off by football, here it is folks - the Opposite of hate World Cup Special.
Extra points to anyone who gets the film that the last one is quoted - who isn't related to me. xxxxx

I still maintain you should use the Crouch one
ReplyDeleteHah, I love these :D. Especially the last one - I have no idea where it's from but it works brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I'm feeling exactly the same about the football this year. It's quite a nice change to be filled with sunny apathy instead of grumbling hate.
