Purveyor of fine nonsense
Last night it was on no less than three of the five main channels simultaneously!
There was one channel showing what looked like Germany vs. Austria and another one showing what was perhaps Ghana vs. someone else, I forget. Then there was another channel showing a program about football trivia or something like that!
I am actively anti-football because of the hugely disproportionate coverage that it is given! And I don't care that it is the World Cup, I mean, do they have tennis on three channels simultaneous during Wimbledon? Or cricket? Or golf? Or snooker? NO!!!! Why the hell do they have to have three main channels at once devoted to football?
And, everywhere you go, the marketing is relentless - you can get football everything - and it seems to get more and more hyped and aggressively marketed each time it comes around.
I have two words ... (read 'em and weep!) ... bread and circuses!
Rant over ...
