3PM Extra: The funniest things we've found on the internet today - Wednesday, March 10
The former President of the World Society of Friends of Suspenders, a pressure group formed to express disapproval with women wearing tights rather than stockings and sussies, is 74 years young today.
Yes, it's happy birthday, Sepp Blatter - one-eyed opponent of video technology, baiter of the Irish and all-round Swiss clown. With a vote on the FIFA presidency due next May, let's hope this is the penultimate occasion on which he gets to blow out the candles while sipping unicorn tears and eating black rhino carpaccio at the organisation's secret underwater HQ.
And with that happy thought, let's settle down to today's football videos...
1) Sepp once said women's football would be so much better if the ladies all wore hot pants. Yeah, but what if they were reporting from the sidelines instead... and then something shocking happened?
2) Inter Milan's Samuel Eto'o is also blowing out the candles today. Let's hope the new 31-year-old unwrapped a nice pair of Pumas this morning... and nobody tried to nick them...
3) And finally, this dribble by Feyenoord's Georginio Wijnaldum might not end in Samir Nasri-style glory, but he does manage to make three Den Haag defenders look rather stupid - something Sepp manages only when he opens his mouth.
