I think he meant a forum. Dunno why he singled you out, I'll ask Gowans to do it if we need one made.
 
The World Cup will certainly be an adventure in 2010.

Whatever it is, it'd be a first world country instead because only they have the ability to host it at such short notice.

US would be amazing.

BBC article from last April:
BBC Sport said:
Fifa makes 2010 Cup back-up plan

Football's governing body has contingency plans in case South Africa cannot host the World Cup in 2010, Fifa president Sepp Blatter has said.

South Africa's preparations have been dogged by delays and there are fears its stadia will not be ready.

Blatter told BBC One's new Inside Sport programme: "Other countries are ready to organise the World Cup", although he said they would not be needed.

Blatter cited a list of countries that could step in, including England.

The others he mentioned were the United States, Mexico, Japan and Spain.

"Definitely we have a possibility to go somewhere else if something happens," said Blatter.

"It was the same case in Germany. Something can happen. A natural catastrophe or whatever, a big change in society - everybody against football.

"But then for the time being the plan B is South Africa and the plan C we definitely must have a possibility to go somewhere else, but it must be a natural catastrophe."

Last year, Blatter expressed misgivings about the lack of construction and renovation work on the 10 South African stadiums that are scheduled to host games in the World Cup.

And in December South African President Thabo Mbeki rejected claims that the tournament could be held elsewhere, insisting the 2010 World Cup would be an "exceptional event".

The Football Association said they had not been involved with any plans for the tournament to move to England.

"There have been no discussions with Fifa at this stage," a spokesman told BBC Sport.

"We do believe we have some of the finest stadia and football infrastructure in the world but it's hypothetical as we understand South Africa are on course to stage the 2010 World Cup."

Though I don't really trust anything that Blatter says.
 
I've had a few people ask me if I'd be down to go to South Africa in 2010. It'd be an awesome experience, but at the same time I might fear for my life. Not sure that it's worth it. I don't understand why FIFA wouldn't choose a relatively stable country to host it.

then again...

Brainstorm people, doing a presentation for tomorrow, started 10 minutes ago, me and another chick.

I have to come up with a product, unique selling point, and print ad, and the presentation is short and simple.

For example;

OG ->

Altered by user ->

I can Wireless connect to my shirt and shit, whatever.

So she came up with a name, I Change. We associate ourselves with Apple.

Tagline -> "Change yourself, I change"

Ok so throw me some vegetables, boo me, spit on me, and change it. :lol

Here you go. About the 1:15 mark. It's more boneheaded stupidity than any sort of an epic shot. Looks like something that'd happen in a high school match.

I remember that final like yesterday. There was a power outage because my neighborhood didn't bribe the electrical authotities(NEPA) in advance, so we went to my uncle's girlfriends. I was tired from running and couldn't keep up, so he had to carry me there. Good times.

Baggio missing the penalty was sweet, bcos it was his penalty that knocked Nigeria out in the second round.

And in so doing you will probably dilute your brand recognition. Something like your product needs a good strong, simple, Modernist sounding name!

PERMUTATION
 
By associating ourselves with Apple however we can say "You can access your Shirt through your Iphone, have the symbol of the bland playing in your Ipod show up, buy themes online on the Apple store".

Makes it easy, because those products augment the functionality of the shirt.

Guys, we need a backup plan if something happens (like a mod starts to read the thread).

Kara! Start making a page.

Just go into the online forum and take over a fifa thread or something. No one goes into the online forum.

Yeah... well... I got up that day, played with some toys... and watched it in my den! I even had to walk to the kitchen and get my own juice while it was on.

It is much easier in the short run but ultimately you are pigeonholing your brand and products as an auxiliary of the Apple army. Let's say a glorious day comes when we are free of Apple forever, what will happen to your brand then? I suppose you could adapt, but 'tis better to be proactive than reactive!

Can you put ads on it and get a paid for just wearing that shit and going about your daily life, sort of like those dancing sign guys on the street corner but with much less effort.
 
Damn photoshop.

How the hell do you put an image on top of another image (shirt) and make it so that the area of the other image is restricted to the shirt area.

ARRRRR

Meh, not really. Thin, alternative style with some crazy hairstyles, piercing on the lip, kind of a non dirty reggae/freak style.

It's a mix. She's pretty average.

Yeah, roughly.
 
I'm trying to think of some completely harmless reason they'd have to move it. Maybe SA just decides that they shouldn't do it and it should go to the US. That'd be nice.

Holy crap.

And just the other day I was thinking that the "own goal" designation is usually harsh because in most cases a player from the other team would have obviously made it anyway.

In this case however...
