The threat of flesh 1 week ago
There's nothing offensive about this video. I haven't seen any explanation by the Austrians about what prompted this, but it seems to have been planned a bit beforehand. Interesting that the singing ('Singin' the Rain') and the antiphons ('Blazers off, ties off, etc.) are in English. I think it was part drink, part just lads having fun, and a little good-natured 'in your face' to the winning team. It's funny, in a 'laughing with you, not at you' kind of way. I hope the team's not embarrassed by it -- I admire them for having the balls to do something like that. It's cool, too, that Lithuania merely said that what they did could possibly be seen as an act of hooliganism, but there was obviously no effort to arrest them. I have a feeling that, had this happened in the U.S., it would have become an international incident.
Short bit of Heidevolk live -- great band!
