Kiwi's Excited by Becks, Press Conference is a Bore

She looks happy doesn't she? Poor lamb probably doesn't know if she wants an autograph or an appetizer, bless her heart. This is the face of Kiwi Beckham-mania....very, very excited*.

The New Zealand media is pretty excited as well. You can tell when you watch the press conference, which you can see here in its entirety. You kinda feel bad for the other people on the panel because no one really wants to ask them a damn thing, except for maybe "could you move over to the left while I photograph David". They're basically extras, like those people in a film who are only there just to make it look real.

But thankfully one sympathetic reporter does ask them at least one question for the sake of keeping their self-esteem out of the paper shredder. It's still a painfully long 30 minutes, so if you've any wrist-cutting tendencies stay away.

*And to be clear the joke here isn't about weight & gender, it's about having your mouth open wide enough swallow an Englishman whole while being photographed.

I feel like I may be going to hell for laughing at that caption, but it was too good not to bust a gut... you definitely have a pass to burn in eternity though by the way

Amazing. That is a quality caption. I'll be laughing at that for a while.
