World Cup claims final victim

I've been trying for nearly a month to warn the world about the dangers of World Cup Soccer, which seems to do nothing but claim innocent lives. Well, the tournament is over, but it looks like a final innocent life has been lost.

A 77-year-old Italian man fell off a ladder and died as he tried to attach Italy's flag to a pole ahead of Sunday's World Cup final against France.

The man, Rodolfo Profili, was raising the flag on a patch of land he owned near the central Italian city of Viterbo when he apparently lost his balance and fell eight metres into a precipice, Italian news agency ANSA reported.

The good news is that the Frogs lost, and we're safe from the World Cup for another four years. But it's going to roll around sooner than you think, and then the bloodbath will begin anew. Just you wait and see.
