They're at it again....

The boneheads at CCTV-5 have outdone themselves this time....


I was just watching the re-run of last night's game between Uruguay and South Africa. To better recreate the sensation of watching the game 'as live', there was a 15-minute break in the middle.

However, during this break, CCTV-5 screened a magazine segment rounding up the news and highlights from all of yesterday's games. Yes, all of them. Including the one we were still waiting to find out the result of. It did rather take the shine off my enjoyment of the second half.




And, oh yes.... my World Cup comment thread over on The Barstool is taking off slowly. (Well, so far it's mostly been me sticking my neck out with early predictions - and immediately being embarrassed by that disastrous start by Spain [the bookies' and my pre-tournament favourites]. They're not out of contention yet, but they're in a world of pain...) Please go and contribute your thoughts.

Thanks, Livy.

I suspect the Pyongyang Times account was even funnier. North Korean propaganda is almost unparodiable.
