A moment of genius from The Sydney Morning Herald
Late nights, live blogs and long odds – Dr Mumbo loves the FIFA World Cup.
And he loves nothing more than reading up-to-the-minute information on The Sydney Morning Herald, especially when it provides gems such as this:
In its live blog about the Colombia versus Japan match, the SMH noted in the 38th minute: “What a piece of brilliance from Quintero – Falcao is cunt down 20 metres out, just to the right of the centre of the box…”
Dr Mumbo notes the blog has been updated and now says ‘cut’. Phew!
Have just seen that Mumbrella’s daily email carries a story about “Columbia” vs Japan’s TV ratings.
What’s that saying about glass houses?

Hi Sub-editor,
That is indeed near-comical timing.
This Dr Mumbo column is just a bit of fun, and people are more than welcome to serve it right back to us for our mistakes (as you’ll notice they’re already doing in the now-correct TV ratings story).
If we dish it out, we have to take it too.
Thanks,
Vivienne – Mumbrella
