la defense of zidane

If only all revolts against the stupid ivory tower rang so true as a well-aimed butt of the head...

Bernard-Henri Lévy, the French intellectual, both blamed and forgave Zidane, for what he saw as an act of rebellion. He was quoted Tuesday in L’Equipe, the French sports daily, as saying that Zidane’s act was the “suicide of a demigod.” He called the butt an “interior revolt” against the “stupid ivory tower in which he had been placed in recent months.”

this is what happens when your dick and the iraq war occupy the same part of your brain. you achieve some sort of mystical hemispheric continuity with all the forces of good and the higher powers allow you to coast: life is at once focused and amplified; much time is spent swilling the choicest beer and vacationing on remote albanian beach towns; days are passed chewing on sausages the flavor of which can only be paralleled by the lecture you just delivered on the relationship between marilyn monroe as prototypical american object of desire and the necessity of closing guantanamo bay in order to maintain the psychological equilibrium achieved by admittedly relativist human rights accords, the secret purpose of which is to sublimate that same monroe desire and channel the sexual forces toward more appropriate (or appropriately slavic) objects.
