The Head Butt that Just Keeps Giving

August 3rd, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

You would think that the statue of limitations for people to still be interested in Zidane’s World Cup head butt would have run out by now, but in fact it seems like the thing is gaining new legs by the moment.

In China, an entrepreneur has registered a trademark for the silhouette of the head butt. Who the hell even knew they had trademarks in China? Certainly not the pirates who rip off all the clothing products, electronics and Hollywood movies.

In France, the head butt is causing people to bang their heads. A song about the incident is number one on the pop charts and has blessed the planet with this music video.

Then there are the imitation head butters, like the jockey in Britain who has been banned for one day of racing because he head butt a horse. Seeing is believing:

Folks, please don’t try that at home.

If only Zidane had taken out international patent on his headbutt. He could have made millions from the successful legal action against those who have infringed copyright.

Napoleon, you are great!!!!! you are showing the right face of what french people are (i think the large majority).
France lost a chance to gain the WC also for what ZZ did. ZZ (guide and reference of french team) left the team alone in a crucial moment of the game for his stupid reaction.
