You couldn't make it up

A letter printed on page 79 of yesterday's Daily Mail, on the letters page:

Wouldn't it be great if TV coverage of the World Cup was limited to England's games, those of hosts South Africa and of the tournament's 'big guns'.
Then we would be spared the ordeal of having to sit through a match between Bongo Bongoland and the Former Soviet Republic of Bulimia and other meaningless events.

I don't know what's worse - the letter or the fact that the Mail saw fit to print it? :omg:

Just your typical average Daily Mail reader then.. think's he's a smart :butthead:, but in fact is just an :butthead:.
