World Cup: 36 DutchDress hotties arrested after FIFA complaint

FIFA loses this one big time as far as I'm concerned and Bavaria's marketing crew actually deserves an award for this brilliant marketing scheme.

FIFA officials discovered them in the Soccer City stadium and reported them to police after the Holland-Denmark duel. The girls wore orange miniskirts, so-called Dutch Dresses, supplied by Bavaria brewery, a competitor of FIFA's official sponsor Budweiser. The officials acted against the Bavaria girls on the basis of the contract with Budweiser, which stipulates that other beer brands are not allowed to advertise in the World Championship stadiums.

Chicago Blackhawks win Stanley Cup! YESSS!

The Blackhawks RULE!  Well done guys, congratulations!  

YES, Chicago could really use a little boost in its economy right now.  I would imagine the Blackhawks jersey (which is already the most popular in all US sports) will probably be selling for a few bucks more. 
Chicago is proud, as the only city in the US that has won championships in each of the four major national sports - football, basketball, baseball and now hockey - in the past 25 years! Plus, the Stanley Cup is the most coveted trophy in all American sports and has been around since 1892. How about that!

Obamahawks:

Funny how Obama somehow got injected into the Blackhawks Wikipedia entry earlier and then corrected right after I took this screen shot....haha "Obamahawks"?  Who's the fool who did this?

Miss FIFA World Cup Beauty Pageant

Thirty two beauties, each representing her own country, will compete against each other in the World Cup pageant on Friday.

Not sure what the prize is, but I'll be rooting for Algeria because I think she has the cutest smile.  Holland will win the FIFA World Cup championship anyway, so I think Algeria deserves to take at least something home after all that nonsense they've been through with Egypt. ;)

All I can find on this odd pageant is pictures with brief headlines and every time something was posted about it on YouTube, the videos got deleted.

DutchDress

Imagine if you had to miss every single world championship soccer game over the years, because your job was to keep an eye on people in the stands at the stadium...wouldn't that bite?

Bavaria says, not anymore, because now there is DutchDress.

Watch this...and do take note of the little green bubble on the screen, which says: Not 16? Not a drop!

Palestinian national soccer team finally has its own home base

China reveals her style, fashion and beauty at the Olympics...

The gorgeous dresses worn here by Olympic hostesses clearly give a hint on the origins of the traditional Moroccan kaftan.

But the Moroccan kaftan still rules though. :D
