fpbItaly being stupid:
Italy has been carrying out a program to increase the fading bear population in the Alps. Recently a bear from the still-tiny Alpine herd has entered the Bavarian Alps, where it did as bears do - killed and ate sheep and poultry, until a local killed it with a hunting rifle. Italy's environment minister, the ridiculous Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, chose to make an international incident of it, demanding the bear's body back and claiming that "other avenues should have been explored."
Germany being stupider
During the last match, a German player called Frings was guilty of a bad foul which the referee did not see. FIFA took the matter over and, quite rightly, suspended him. At which point the vile Bild Zeitung, Germany's grotesque excuse for a national newspaper, which makes Britain's The Sun look thoughtful and restrained, decided that the whole thing was an Italian plot against Germany and whipped up a hate campaign against Italy, which is reported to be raging among German internet users.
Latest result in the stupidity competition: Germany one, Italy one. Put the ball in the centre spot and start the game again.
