A Gift for the Fat Bastard Referee who has Everything

We’re approaching the end of another year and that means that for the next couple of weeks we will all be treated to year-end reviews and top 10 lists and all kinds of reminders of things we have all already forgotten. Today we learn the 20 Strangest Gadgets of the Year. The list loses all credibility when you see that the Beer Belly is listed as the second strangest gadget in 2006. Strange? The Beer Belly is the greatest invention in the history of inventions. I will take you to the back alley and beat you down if you disagree.

Further down on the list is another gem of an invention, the inflatable referee suit. Watching a referee waddle around the pitch looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man would be one way to make even the most boring match entertaining. Equip the outfit with a built-in Beer Belly and I would never have any reason to leave my home.

Here’s what the World Cup would have looked like if the referee had worn one of these during the England and Portugal match.
