Ann Coulter. Just a little something for those of you not wanting to actually watch can join in on the fun. Joe Kelly draws it best. I bet we're all drinking Coca-Cola, too.

So that's not the onion right? It really reads like satire.

It's written by Ann Coulter, that's basically satire.

The cartoonist is of The Onion, though. A lot of his stuff is pretty hilarious if you've got the skin to survive it.

Soccer needs more pads. The people don't run into each other nearly hard enough otherwise.

Besides who wants to watch a sport where you lose to Belgium? Smiley: oyvey

The worst/best part is all the comments agreeing with her... lol

commenter wrote:
soccer is a brainwashing facet of the relentless social engineering of the liberal castrati.
And you reinforced that fact unwittingly.


commenter wrote:
So typical of a liberal ..if you do not submit to my way of thinking you are weak and brainless. We of course are as naive about soccer as we are about failed ideas like socialism redistribution and all the rest of the B/S we are called weak for not accepting...eat my shorts you pompous axx.


commenter wrote:
you like to call us "weak and brainless" because most of us don't watch commie-land sports on TV, yet you failed to comprehend that my initial comment was a more of side-swipe at our complete lack of border security.


commenter wrote:
its a great article which the humorless ( unless its a joke about white males and small pe nis') leftists will decry as anti immigrant


Even the commenters who like soccer are morons...(emphasis mine)

Quote:
Sorry to see Ann waste her time on an article that demeans those of us who like and appreciate soccer. If you don't like soccer fine, don't watch it but no need to insult us white Anglo legal Americans that do (and yes there are plenty of us!)

Well, anything that has a comments section is the best place for ridiculousness. The main article is just someone trying to remain relevant and using something that is current. Basically, it's the scene in Austin Powers where Dr. Evil does the Macarena.

My sister and her friends were getting really cheesed off by it on Facebook. I found it funny. If she wrote it as satire, she's a comedy genius. Well maybe not a genius. Replace genius with competent. If not, who cares about soccer anyway? Smiley: tongue

Nearly everything Coulter writes contains satire. Even when she's making a serious point, she'll always include a sarcastic over the top comment because she loves to wait for the media to quote that one sarcastic comment, paint it as the entirety of what she said, and then watch as all the liberals, who know nothing except that one quote, go frothing at the mouth nuts. She does this because it gets her book sales, and appearances on TV, where she can make fun of all the liberals who so obviously failed to read the part where she said "It's not like we conservatives actually think <insert portion that will be quoted by the media here>".

In this case though, the whole thing is just satire. Not that she doesn't make a couple decent points though. I mean, it's hard not to get the sense that there's a segment of the media that really really really wants the US population to love soccer, no matter how much it hasn't happened. Complete with pretty blatant push-coverage (if we cover it a lot and talk about how popular it's becoming, maybe people will actually start watching it!). And let's be honest, the whole score thing is pretty accurate. We've had world cup games on in the break room at work every day. There's always a few people sitting there watching it, and the common joke is that I'll ask "so what's the score", look up and see that it's 0-0. Every. Single. Time. Not really, but close enough.

They have time to watch in between all those exciting conversations about kickstarter policy?

Barely. It's why they keep having to ask what the score is.

Cause someone tuned to the channel showing it? I suppose it's slightly more interesting than the shows about people renovating junk they found in their basements that is usually on. Today it was tuned to poker. Tomorrow? No clue. Not like I hang out in the break room or anything. It just happens to be where the closest coffee machine is.

You don't have a coffee machine at your desk? JESUS, maybe you are a janitor....
