Materazzi Takes it Like a Man in the Chest

Even though Marco Materazzi may have been uttering schoolyard taunts right before he was head-butted by Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup, it's nice to know that when an endorsement deal is on the line, he's ready to take it like a man. Nike's newest ad featuring the disgraced footballer is quite a fun little tongue in cheek reference to the chest whomping he took from ZZ. That said, ZZ strikes me as a pretty angry fellow, so Materazzi's probably better off taking his chances with the wrecking ball.

Yeah well... an Italian ad, you mean. This would do Nike no favours in France.
