Eight Bits of Infamy
Thanks to Oliver over at The Brand Builder whose blog alerted me to it, the story of Zinedine Zidane’s (provoked) headbutting grand finale in the World Cup can now be told using a particular media format that will strike a chord with my generation.

We live in a great world where you can waste your time and talent in the pursuit hits.
It’s very much like advertising.

Ok, I see your pixels and raise you a 3D poly shape version.

Cool! My high score is 719– I knocked him all the way across the field, through the goal and up against the ad boards on the opposite end of the pitch. Fantastic.

I gotta practice more then. I started him from 30 yards above the goal on the right and swooped in like the Eagle of Soccer Death.
Took out the Italian wall too.
ESD® baby.

The trick is center-line and follow-through. Pound him in the chest and mouse through the strike– don’t stop when you’ve made contact. I turned him into a spicy meatball.

New high score: 5682. I took out the back line and scored a goal for bonus points. I should probably do some work now….

5682?
Holy-too-much-free-time Batman!

Yeah, I’d like to blame it on a lucky shot (to the sternum), but it was more a matter of mindless repetition.
Now… where to bill the time?

Sports Illustrated weighs in on Zidane, and it turns out what he did wasn’t so bad…
12. makehelogobigger | July 12th, 2006 at 8:12 am
Yeah, that’s not half-bad as rants go.
So to recap for all youngsters reading this:
Win the cup.
Then follow the guy into the tunnel and head-butt him there.
;-p

New record: 6440.
Hello. My name is Mack. (Hi, Mack.) And I’m addicted to headbutting Italians.
