These psychic animals.

First there was an octopus named Paul.

Then there was a hippopotamus.
And a porcupine.
And a meerkat.
But none of them were as accurate as Paul.

Then there was a female octopus named Paulina (these people are incredibly creative with octopus names, aren't they?)
But Paulina is as yet unimportant.
Because Paul is the almighty psychic octopus.
Like : Talk to the tentacle, Paulina. You ain't got nothing on Paul.

But, dude seriously. A British-born German octopus claims to be psychic?
B*tch please, we Asians have got astrology down to a freaking tee.

Move over Paul.
Theres a new psychic in town.
Mani the Indian-Singaporean parakeet.

Astrology vs ESP.
East vs West.
Netherlands vs Spain.

Whos your money on?

Beloved dudes and dudines who follow Paul and/or Mani religiously,

Stupid?


I dont fucking care what Paul says.
I dont want to cook/eat/kill Paul either.
Paul is. and will always be. (keep reading this til you get it in your heads) UNIMPORTANT.

The World Cup is about football!


This World Cup, Ive been noticing most people watch the games to see if Paul's predictions are correct.
What happened to watching football for football?

Wheres the fun in watching a game when you already know who the winner is??
Its like oh. Spain win. Lets just see how they score the goals.
WE DO THAT WHEN WE MISS GAMES AND HAVE TO WATCH DELAYED TELECASTS. NOT FOR LIVE GAMES.


And to air it on FOX and have it on back-page headlines.
*MAJOR FACEPALM*



Honestly speaking,
airing all these predictions can and probably already have affected the players performances.
Being told that "the fates are against you" isn't exactly going to give you the highest morale.
And its quite possible that when a team is told they're going to lose,
they attempt to make changes to their strategy and line-up that they probably wouldn't have made if not for these animals.

Its human nature to doubt oneself.
To be told point blank that its predestined that you're going to lose...that can totally wreck your confidence.

We've seen it.

Arg-Ger...was that the Argentina team that aced the group stages?
Ger-Spain..was that the German team that stole all the limelight in the tournament?

No.
Extreme lack of confidence in the losing sides in both cases.

Its just fucking stupid.


All this extra nonsense is for people who want to get in on the world cup hype, but who know shit about football anyway.
So its easier to walk around talking about Paul.

Yes I blogged about Paul once.
That was informative. I was announcing that such an octopus exists. And I was all wtf about it even then.
I did not go "OMGLETSALLMINDLESSLYWORSHIPPAUL"




I swear if we have fucking psychic animals again the next world cup,
I will personally go on a rampage...and then have an open house kenduri.

I'm extending the invitation in advance.




Football is a beautiful game.
Stop fucking ruining it with Paul.

P.s. This wasn't exactly meant to offend. ...okay, yes it was. But yeah. If you terasa...oops. Stop talking about Paul? :D
