The clown who ran Gizmondo. An American court finally caught up with him,
although not for the business fraud. I happen to live in the city where
Eriksson bought the furniture company that allowed him to claim assets and
earnings in order to get the first round of Gizmondo financing. Hooray,
market economy. :/

-KKC, who can't do his job today because he doesn't have the correct forms
filled out. Four hours of paperwork to cover 20 minutes of server
maintenance, terrific.

co-founded the Gizmondo

Stefan Eriksson, dude behind Gizmondo, got drunk, ripped his stolen
Enzo in half so it looked like this:

against english football?

For having the best record of any international manager we've ever had?
Terrible crime indeed. Not his fault that Rooney's an incontrollable
cunt. I'd far rather he was in charge than McLaren.

was atrocious.

No need, I can see the flag I've got tattoed on my face in the
reflection and I need the space on the monitor for the lion statues.

Cool! Who was the shoot for? I take it you're the photographer
(especially if they let you sit in the F1LM...)
