Love him or hate him

No other player has quite polarised the footballing community more in recent times than the current FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or winner. Cristiano Ronaldo cuts quite the figure - exhilirating one moment with his dazzling skills and frustrating the next with his over flamboyant attitude.

Personally, I think the guy is given a seriously hard time  (there are bigger divers in the game) and his personality coupled with his skills is destined to attract a lot of attention to any bad move. Then again, being Portuguese and a Manchester United supporter I could be a little biased.

At the end of the day, you either love him or hate him

It's by no stretch the greatest viral ever, but I personally am going to send this to a ton of mates in the hopes of having a little dig.

Yes, he's always going to be a talking point, and as we all know on the Internet there's no such thing as bad publicity.

For me the best viral of the year so far has go to be the Island Reef job thing. Although not a "forward to a friend" type of viral, it spread around the world faster than light and the website got a million visitors in a day. Amazing.

Agreed Tony - that was a work of genius.

Have you applied yet?

Hmmm...let's see what the competition looks like first, although so far I'm not too impressed with the applicants. Most interesting was the woman who got herself tattooed, but a little lackluster otherwise. I feel sorry for the recruiters who have to sit through all those videos though...

I was thinking about those poor recruiters - they're the ones who are going to bear the brunt of the campaign's success. Man, they must get some desperate and painful applications.

I can understand if players dive evry now and then, its natural human instinct; to bring an advantages situation for your team, BUT Ronaldo may score many goals, which makes him brilliant, yet is morals on the field disgust me to the point i could never like him.

Carlos, he is the Madeiran magician. Now that there is daylight at the top Benitez can eat his words.
Staying on the sport theme. Saw this yesterday. EA Sports had a blapsie in their Tiger Woods game which was discussed online. They releases this ad in response. Genius.
