More Zizou
Some more internet recreations of the now infamous headbutt. This NES throwback is classic. Materazzi now is defending what he said on the pitch during the World Cup Final on Sunday.
"I did insult him, it's true," Materazzi said in Tuesday's Gazzetta dello Sport. "But I categorically did not call him a terrorist. I'm not cultured and I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is."
Meaning, by fundamental axioms of propositional logic, a terrorist is as Islamic as he or she is cultured. Point to ponder: If Zidane had regained his head just before contacting Materazzi, pulled the punch, and continued if nothing happened... would Materazzi still fall to the ground, writhing in pain as if a bowling ball struck him in the chest?
Interestingly, I also found out that Zidane tried to join the Algerian team in 1996. He was refused because the coach deemed him to be "not fast enough." Whoops.

LIES LIES LIES. I was in Italy a couple years ago and Rome was fervently aware of the U.S./Middle East situation. Every building was decked in peace flags and anti-war graffiti. Also, how can he claim to be ignorant of terrorism when Italy suffered its own subway attack, the political majority lost its vote, and then Italy backed out of Iraq. To make an even more classical allusion: Do you bite your thumb us sir? - No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I do bit my thumb, sir.
thats a "cultured" criticism for you.
