Homeless Soccer World Cup

I shit you not. Please, just go here, 'cause I know you think I make this drivel up. The Homeless World Cup is scheduled for Capetown, South Africa, on 24 September. Homeless people from around the world, like the guy at left, from Switzerland, will play fast-paced soccer against other homeless people from other countries (I'm laughing while I'm typing--what's wrong with me?).... The cup itself, plus prizes (like perhaps an indoor location devoted exclusively to bowel movements, complete with genuine virgin never-before-used Charmin' or Cottonelle) are all part of the winnings.

This is serious stuff. There are even pre-tournament world rankings: see how your country's bums, mental misfits, drug addicts, and hobos stack up against others when it comes to "the beautiful sport". #1 is Italy; the USA is #27. Apparently American urban foragers are better at dumpster diving than corner-kicking. BTW, it figures that Scotland, Ireland, and Australia are all in the top 10; they have some amazingly athletic alcoholics in each of those countries.

On second thought: this is just more proof that the world is truly coming to an end. Islamic whack jobs are busy blowing everything up while homeless people are playing soccer in a world-wide tournament. WTF?

It's time to take the pills.

Should I be proud that England nestle drunkenly at number 9? Probably not, but at least the Jocks and Paddies are better/worse depending on your viewpoint.
