Can you guess what this is?
The Nike Effect!!!
No doubt you have seen the flashy Nike advert on the telly during the World Cup. Entitled 'Write the future', it imagines the future in the event of success or failure for a number of players.
Nike launched its TV ad for the 2010 World Cup, it featured some of the world's top football players and Homer Simpson and had a great soundtrack by Dutch prog rockers Focus.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Fabio Cannavaro, Franck Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott feature along with cameo appearances from Kobe Bryant and Homer Simpson.
But let's tear apart the advert and what the message meant and see what happened to each of the 'stars'.
The ad for example features Wayne Rooney giving the ball away in the last minute and is then pictured living in a trailer park, sporting a dirty vest and a long bushy beard. But Rooney chases back and executes a perfect tackle. Cue footage of a meeting with The Queen, and a hospital ward full of babies called Wayne.
Ronaldinho started the curse by not even getting in the Brazilian squad, although he has probably enjoyed the World Cup more than most lazing on a beach.
Didier Drogba broke his arm in a friendly warm-up match then struggled through a fruitless campaign for Ivory Coast who were knocked out at the group stage.
Franck Ribery was meant to be France's big star, but became a leading protagonist in the incredible mutiny that consumed Les Bleus; appearing on the TV to claim he was not a trouble-maker one minute, refusing to train the next. He went home early with the rest of the team.
Fabio Cannavaro looked a mere shadow of his former self. He was humiliated by tiny New Zealand and Slovakia and led his Italy side to a humiliating first-round exit along with the French.
Wayne Rooney wore a face like a scowl throughout the tournament , played like a man several divisions below Premier League status let alone world class and went out in the second round. Maybe he wanted to live in a caravan eating cold beans and sporting a Worzel Gummidge beard.
Cristiano Ronaldo, is out after his Portugal side lost to Spain - the third time in four matches they had failed to score. His World Cup failed to ignite at all.
Write the future? I think these guys have pretty much wrapped up their futures! Oh, and what about Homer Simpson? DOH! what's he going to do?

Believe it or not....This world cup is already determined by the numbers....
2. Argentina won its last World Cup in 1986; before that they also won In 1978. Adding 1978 + 1986= 3964
3. Germany won its last World Cup in 1990; before that they also won In 1974. Adding 1974 + 1990= 3964
4. Brazil also won the World Cup in 2002; before that they also won in 1962. Adding 1962+ 2002= 3964
5. Therefore if you want to know what nation is going to win the World Cup in 2010, you only have to subtract 2010 from the magic number that we Have determined: 3964 minus 2010 = 1954... In 1954 the World Cup was Won by Germany!!!

Funny how life works
Gotta love kids!!!
The teacher walks in and finds an apple on her desk with the letters "I L U" written on it.
She asks who left the apple, and little Anna raises her hand. "Well, sweetie, what does 'I L U' mean?"
The little girl replies, "I love you." The teacher says, "Isn't that sweet" and continues with class.
The next day the teacher finds cherries on her desk with the letters "Y A S" written on it.
She asks ho left the cherries and what the letters mean. Charlie raises his hand and says, "It means, ' you are special.'
"Thank you sweetheart," the teacher says.
The following day, the Teacher walks in to find a huge banana with the letters F..U..C..K written on it.
The enraged teacher asks who left it. Little Gatiep raises his hand and cheerfully says, "Yes ma'am, I left it.... It means, From Us Coloured Kids.
