Smile, you’re on the Internet

By: Bob | September 6th, 2006

What did we used to do before the age of digital cameras and the Internet? How else could you get back at a jilted lover, especially one who plays professional football?

That is allegedly the story behind the pictures of Middlesbrough defender Matthew Bates that are floating around cyberspace. The pictures show Bates snapping photos of himself in the buff and possibly were released to the hounds by his former girlfriend.

Bates, who is straight, has gone from being a relatively unknown player to a gay icon in less than a week. He can thank Al Gore for that.

  Oh dearie me. My, the boy needs to think about a teensy bit more coverage. And those undies look like they’re about to fall off anyway! Get a proper banana hammock you pillock.

  Maybe he was hoping to get some photographic action from Paris Hilton.

  Is he taking that in a public restroom? Imagine walking in and seeing something like that!

  This is indeed why the interwebs were invented: football, sex and revenge. The perfect storm.
