This from David Baddiel's column on the World Cup on thisislondon.co.uk (I think it might be in the Evening Standard as well)...
"Fact: mainstream Japanese TV is not showing all the games. About a third of them are only available on an obscure channel called Sky Perfect. If you want to watch these games you have to find a sports bar that is showing them, like the one I went to to watch Brazil v Turkey, Mad Mulligans. There I met a sergeant-major from the British Army who told me that life on the Falklands is so boring that helicopter pilots will deliberately fly over penguin colonies very slowly so as to make the penguins looking up at them gradually fall over."
Wasn't this debuked in the FT recently?
