Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

If a clown eats salmon on Tuesday, how much does a triangle weigh on Jupiter? Ask Mr. Wiggins for 10% off of your next dry cleaning bill. -Hades

And it's a rematch of 1986 and 1990.

I thought my dad was going to have a heart attack halfway through the penalties.

Also, it's Argentinian Independence Day, so that was nice.

Fun fact: Germany-Argentina is now the most common World Cup Final matchup, having previously occurred in 1986 and 1990. Until now, it was tied with Brazil-Italy, which occurred in 1970 and 1994.

He should tell that to Cameroon, Australia, or Honduras...
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

...Why write to Coca-Cola about this?

They one of the World Cup's major sponsors, the letter is asking them to end their partnership with FIFA.

Do you?

There's other sponsors.  So unless that letter was written to all of the sponsors (which I'm assuming is a possibility) then why single out Coca Cola, out of the sponsors?

I wouldn't be surprised if the letter was sent to all the sponsors, but Coca-Cola is being showcased here simply because of how much their reply missed the point.
