Gillette hide Henry’s wandering hand
Yep, that should do it
Were you to list a bunch of everyday household items that you’d rather not buy from a cheat, near the top of that list would be a razor. You want a smooth face with no irritation. Not empty promises, and a chin full of bleeding nicks, and no actual skin where your lovely sideburns used to be.
Thankfully, the big throbbing brains over at Gillette are already alive to this fact, so have made a few important tweaks to their advertising campaign in the aftermath of Thierry Henry’s decision to play basketball in the penalty area against Ireland.
They’ve removed the ball from his hand, and placed the offending item in his suit pocket, on the assumption that if his wandering left paw is out of sight, then it will be out of mind too.
Also, presumably, to prevent any possible outbreaks of hysterical road rage caused by furious Irishmen spotting the billboard during a routine drive to work.

What are those two blue lines behind Tiger Woods, is that water spraying out of a fire hydrant?

This is the best thing that could have happned to the irish.
Had they gone through, they would have been as mediocre as always and people would have said “can anyone play football there ?” and what happened to their star players.
This way they get to moan and bitch about ‘how it could have been’.
Let’s face it, NO ONE wants to see the irish in the WC except the irish.
We are not losing a great football nation or one that offers a few great talents.
There are now 8 new crappy teams in the WC (both Koreas!!), so I dont think one more would have made a better show.
