Crappy wooden actor’s new film enrages Bundesliga side

Most people have been irritated by the god-awful remake of sci-fi classic The Day The Earth Stood Still, but Bayern Munich have particular reason to be aggrieved.

In a TV advert for the film, the Bayern’s fancy Allianz Arena stadium is razed to the ground - something the club knew nothing about. Media director Markus Hoerwick told Bild:

“We were not informed and were also not asked for permission. It is not to our benefit for the Arena to be represented in such a way. We will examine now whether and how we react to it.”

To make matters worse, fans from rival clubs have edited the advert to make it look like their crest is destroying the stadium. 1860 Munchen pranksters were among the first to do this, perhaps forgetting the fact that they share the Allianz Arena with Bayern.

Bayern Munich stars give expert class in one-upmanship

The final game of Group C, aka the ‘Group of Death’, will see hunky Luca Toni’s Italy take on not-so-hunky Franck Ribery’s France. As a precursor to this hotly anticipated match, the Bayern Munich stars have filmed a bizarre football-based slanging match at the Allianz arena. It all kicks off when Ribery’s French national anthem ringtone causes Toni to display his patriotic T-Shirt, and it escalates into a display of athletic prowess all around the Allianz Arena, peppered with mildly xenophobic comments. If you want to know what they say, someone has translated it in the comments here.

It’s a slow news day when we post a video in French (with a little German and Italian), but hey, what do you want us to talk about? Women’s softball? Baby racing? Actually, baby racing looks pretty awesome…
