Oooh Look! A Pretty Girl

Boy, she sure is pretty isn't she? I certainly got off the Asian push years ago and therefore, I doubt that I would accept a download from one of my friends who decides to send an image like this to me.

Would you have the ability to resist?

I think most would but there are a select few individuals who would continue to download the image of what they think may be a beautiful girl.

So, lets run through a scenario before I go explain this post.

You are a young guy who is about to leave for college. Got your new HP Netbook or laptop to go with all the essentials of moving into your dorm.

You get to school and unpack your room. You get everything set up on your desk and around the room and before you head out to the Freshman picnic, you log onto your email account and see that your buddy back home has sent you the file containing the picture above.

"Hot Asian girl... I love Asians," you think to yourself and you click on the link. You get the picture and hurriedly send it off to your friends.

A few weeks later at noon on a Tuesday (your only class is at 4pm (you totally scored that sweet time slot for the class)) your dorm phone rings and you roll over and answer it.

It's your mom... and boy is she pissed.

Somewhere over the course of the first three weeks of school used your credit card that your parents have linked to their account (it was for gas and emergencies only) to download $200 worth of music from itunes and you also subscribed to a handful of small porn sites.

What happened?

You were attacked by a Trojan Horse virus.

And according to an post by my friends over at The Dark Visitor, this was common back in the day in the form of the "Maritime Girl."

Read the post. It's good knowledge to pass on to your less web savvy friends who don't really know that the hot Asian is anything but.

Global Politics and Soccer?

You bet your sweet ass they go together! I've met a lot of footy players over the years and most have been rather chill individuals, like sub-arctic... well, until you score on them. Anyways, most of them couldn't tell you the five members of the UN Security Council (UNSC), but they should really get acquainted with them if they have hopes of seeing Tibet in the World Cup ever.

We live in an amazingly connected world these days. I mean come on, there are three hundred page books and thesis work on the extent of globalization and rather or not it exists. From the footy fans perspective, I doubt the world is really all that flat because some countries simply can not seems to be able to get onto the moving ball. If you are still reading this and wondering why I brought up the UNSC in regards to this topic, here's why. FIFA, our beloved governing body, will only admit national teams that are recognized as a country/nation and the UNSC makes that decision.

This is truly sad. Football is the most popular team sport on the face of this flat earth of ours. No other sport can even begin to say that it has the fan base that the beautiful game does. But, when you start to ban teams from competition because five stuck up diplomats sitting in a building in New York fail to recognize you as a nation, how beautiful is the game?

I think it is pretty damn ugly. It is a disgraceful practice and one that you would think FIFA would not go along with. What do they loose if they allow Tibet to play? China? The Chinese can not even play decently, except their womens team and who really watches the Womens World Cup? And what about Greenland? What does FIFA really have to loose by not admitting a team from a damn country that most high school seniors in America can not find on a map?

What are the consequences here? Maybe the five security council member nations will pull their teams from the cup. Do it! That's one less grouping of teams to have to go through. And seriously, the US and the UK will not miss much by not going to the World Cup. Hell, maybe then they could devote money to building a better youth program (at least here in America). Russia has only attempted to go to four World Cups and they did not qualify for two of them. See the above paragraph for my opinion on China. Lastly, the only team that would really be hurt if their nation left FIFA would be France.

When it comes down to it, at the end of the day, the situation is rubbish! So, there is a snippet of how politics can influence something as beautiful as international football. Happy footy all. And as of this moment, I am officially boycotting the 2010 cup until FIFA can get its head out of its ass, wipe the shit from their face, and make football beautiful once again.
