Fucking Brits man, can’t even go out in public without making a complete mockery of themselves. If it was just the Tiger, I would totally understand and fully support it. But a God damn Elephant and Eagle? Give me a break with that shit, what do you think this is? The zoo? Keep your sexual fantasies at home, you damn savages.

P.S. I see you Eagle Man, with your sweatshirt wrapped around your waist. Loser city, population Eagle Man.

Massive amounts of protesters came out across Brazil last night  in protest of government spending and taxation linked to the 2014 World Cup that is being held in Brazil.

The protests, which remained mostly peaceful throughout, included the cities of Rio deJaneiro, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Curitiba, Belem and Brasilia, per The New York Times‘ Simon Romero.

According to Reuters, over 200,000 citizens took to the streets throughout Brazil, voicing their displeasure with government spending. Currently playing host to the Confederations Cup, Brazil is in heavy preparation for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics as well. Brazil is currently in the process of renovating and constructing soccer stadiums throughout the country, many of which are now running over projected costs, and some say the total prep cost for the 2014 World Cup, could be 3 times as much as South Africa spent in 2010. To help fund the shortfall, the Brazilian government recently announced increased rates on metro and bus fares of about 10 cents.

Frustrated by the government hikes, which began on June 1, demonstrations began being organized throughout the country.

Police had to fire tear gas and rubber bullets into a protesting crowd in Sao Paulo last week, as a peaceful protest quickly turned violent. More than 100 people were injured, and 120 were arrested in the violent clashes. Though the demonstrations remained mostly subdued on Monday night, though there were some citizens who threw rocks at police, set fire to a car and vandalized the state assembly building in Rio.

And he swings and misses! Well technically he doesn’t miss, but for his ego, he might as well say he missed. Fundamentally, I can’t comprehend how someone can not kick a soccer ball. Just flabbergasting. Stage fright? Perhaps. I mean how many people where there in the stands watching Will Smith kick a damn soccer ball? 10,000? 20,000? Whatever number of fans were there, it was more than Miami Marlins and Florida Panthers combined. Kind of embarrassing for the City of Miami, not gonna lie.

The funny part is, when I was a little kid, around the age of 2. I was showing off my soccer skills and went to kick a ball just like Mr. Smith here. And long story short, I missed completely, fell awkwardly and ended up breaking my femur and being in a full lower body cast for 7 months. I shit you not. And ironically, I went on to being an All-American soccer star for my High School. And by All-American, I mean All-American benchwarmer…also a true story.

And get a load of this picture. So many different ethnicities combined into one picture. #2, is about the age of my dad. Receding hairline city. Not to mention he is a minimum of 44.2 years old. The next guy on the right, is of South American decent, nothing really important about him. Not sure why I even wrote about him. And then the guy on the right, talk about a minority in this group. Guy looks like he just got imported from Scandinavia. Straight from Norway or Sweden. I mean look at those luscious golden locks of love. Nothing short of impeccable.
