Great Moments in Italian Sportsmanship: "You're the Son of a Terrorist Whore"

Will watching Zidane headbut Marco Materrazi ever get old? In a word, no. And you'd probably do the same if you were of Algerian descent and some douchebag called you "the son of a terrorist whore." Now I know the French are... well, French, and I know everyone in America who likes the taste of pizza was rooting for the Italians, but I will never get over that horrible dive in the Australian penalty box.

**UPDATE** Thanks, Suze, for sending the Zidane headbut game... Just click the mouse to headbut the Italian!

Aaaanyway... Apparently Jackie Chan is making another Drunken Master film.

Finally, unless you've been in a cave all day, you know that Syd Barrett had passed away. For anyone who's unfamiliar, here's the Rock Snob Dictionary entry:

Barrett, Syd. Founding member of Pink Floyd who defined the group’s early sound with his juvenile, peculiarly English take on psychedelia. Already in the process of becoming rock’s most celebrated acid casualty at the time of Pink Floyd’s 1967 debut, Barrett left the band in 1968, managing to record two solo albums of skeletal meanderings (one of them entitled The Madcap Laughs) before drifting into the permanent twilight in which he lives today. The post-Barrett Floyd song “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is about him.
