A moment of genius from The Sydney Morning Herald
Late nights, live blogs and long odds – Dr Mumbo loves the FIFA World Cup.
And he loves nothing more than reading up-to-the-minute information on The Sydney Morning Herald, especially when it provides gems such as this:
What a difference an ‘n’ makes
In its live blog about the Colombia versus Japan match, the SMH noted in the 38th minute: “What a piece of brilliance from Quintero – Falcao is cunt down 20 metres out, just to the right of the centre of the box…”
Have just seen that Mumbrella’s daily email carries a story about “Columbia” vs Japan’s TV ratings.
What’s that saying about glass houses?
Hi Sub-editor,
That is indeed near-comical timing.
This Dr Mumbo column is just a bit of fun, and people are more than welcome to serve it right back to us for our mistakes (as you’ll notice they’re already doing in the now-correct TV ratings story).
If we dish it out, we have to take it too.
Thanks,
Vivienne – Mumbrella
