Spend It Like Beckham

Britain's Sky One, controlled by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, has agreed to pay more than $900,000 for an interview with the woman who claims to have had an affair with soccer star David Beckham. The woman, Rebecca Loos, who was Beckham's onetime personal assistant, had previously sold her story to another Murdoch media outlet, the Sunday News of the World newspaper. Sky One said today (Tuesday) that the interview will air at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday under the banner, "Rebecca Loos: My Story." Beckham, one of the world's highest-paid athletes, has denied Loos's claims, calling them "ludicrous," and has threatened a lawsuit.

Yeah, sure, if you pay me $900,000, I'll tell you I had an affair with Beckam too, and as a freebie I'll tell you I had an affair with his wife on the side....

1. Well that just about sums up everything that's wrong with the world.

$900,000 for a piece that no right-thinking person should give a shit about. Great.

2. I, for one, am glad America's Foreign News Defense Shield works

It keeps English bullshit stories like this from joining the massive pile of bullshit stories we cook up on our own.

3. Rupert has all those good old family Republican values

This is all over his paper, including nude photos of the woman.
