How long before Bollywood samples that head butt for a movie?

Samples? Zidane ripped it off from a Bollywood dance move:

Please, please bury that standing-head-thrust move which makes male stars look like ret*rded monkeys. [Link]

My current stance is that the Italian guy is lying and did make a rude comment about Zidane’s sister and mother, possibly calling his mother a “terrorist whore” as was reported by one of the lip readers. The Italian guy denies it, but of course he denies it; he could face FIFA sanctions as a result.

I laud him. I laud him.

Kobayashi-san, someone's out-worshipped you:

In commentary in the New Republic magazine entitled "Zidane's Priceless Headbutt," Luke Dempsey indignantly observed that the Italian "had the temerity to speak words to Zidane - who dares speak to Debussy as he composes, to Victor Hugo as he writes, to Edith Piaf as she sings, to Monet as he paints?"

That’s just wonderful. How banal was his explanation? He should be mocked, parodied, condemned – and satirized. Stripping the Golden Ball would be an epochal act of castration, a tragedy worthy of Aeschylus or Euripedes.

Siddhartha,

beautiful post. I fell off the chair when I saw that head-butt...laughing and disappointed (homey can play). Unambiguous! Ghetto! Human! Brother! Dayumm! So much more beautiful than any hockey brawl or even the Artest venture into an NBA crowd.

Dude, are you for real?

He lives in a paradoxical reality, where keeping it real has made him a victim of abnormal normality.

because since all it is is running and kicking, anyone can play and no parent has to console their kid at being cut from the team.. American pastimes such as baseball, football, and basketball often require specialized skills that not everyone can do.

Dude, are you for real?
