There are many reasons why I hate the World Cup: it’s football (and not the proper Rugby Union kind either) and it’s totally inescapable. The media seems to assume that everyone is interested in which bunch of seriously overpaid egos can kick a ball around the least worse, so TV schedules are rejigged around the matches and newspapers stuffed full of any vaguely football related news, including the wives, girlfriends and no doubt labradoodles as well.
But perhaps the main reason I hate the World Cup right now is the sheer amount of spam and malware it has created.
