Saddam shame.

Well it's not actually, I just thought it was a vaguely amusing pun.

However, it is nowhere near as funny as the headline on Fark which was "Good news: Saddam could face the death penalty. Bad news: David Beckham will probably take it" which had me spitting drink on my desk.

So there you have it. Saddam is finally being brought to trial for making generations of Iraqis look like him. However, the scene in the courtroom sounds quite reminiscent of the trial of Slobodan Milosevic - haranguing the judge, answering his own questions and generally being a bit of a pain in the arse. It also reminds me of South Park:


"Rel-aaaaaax guuuyyy!"

I do hope they can televise the trial a la OJ Simpson, but this is a little unlikely.

We all know what will happen - this guy will never get the death penalty - he'll get shitloads of years in prison and some terrorists will pinch of couple of aircraft and shit to release him. Should make good TV.

In other news, Greece have unbelievably made it through to the finals of Euro 2004 after beating the Czech Republic like a ginger-haired step child.
