Beckham agrees to LA Galaxy move
On the face of it, it makes no sense whatsoever. Certainly not in footballing terms, playing for a team in a country that doesn't get football as an adult male game.
There was a sort of explanation on BBC News 24 that said that it gives him full access to the income from his advertising, half of which currently goes to his club - and by implication that is the same for other footballers.
The way I see it, he could move to many Premiership or equivalent clubs in Europe and, being David Beckham, get a contractual clause to ensure that all his advertising revenue goes to him. So I don't buy that one.
No doubt, everyone's thinking what we're thinking: Madam Useless wants to break into Hollywood. If you're a young MAW, you move physically to Hollywood and you wait tables until the big break comes. But she's 33 this year and she's had three children. So she's way past it for thin decorative types. She's been around long enough that if some film director was really interested in signing her, they would have done so by now. They would have come to her. I assume her lip-synching days are over, her most recent records laughed out of town.
So why Hollywood?
My theory is that they're about to become full-time space cadets with the Scientologists. She's a desperately unhappy woman with no interests but in need of a crutch. Kabballah didn't work, and the rumours have been rife for a while that she's messing with Scientology - it's a bit more fashionable than Kabballah which is last year's fad. They attended the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes wedding, further proof of their Thetan-like status.
And David gave an in-depth interview to BBC News where he kept referring to himself as 34. Which is strikingly bizarre for somebody who was born in 1975, and therefore, is currently 31 and will be 32 when this transfer happens. There seems no advantage in a sportsman and model raising his age, and if he's 34, that makes Victoria 35, and well past it for Hollywood starlet.
Mark my words, they are already being programmed by the Scientologists. Poor old David is so stupid in a likeable way but the Spice Woman is thibk in a dangerous way. Mark my words, Beckham Brat #4 will be a silent birth, with the placenta served up for David to eat, and before we know it, Posh will be lecturing us all about the evil of psychiatry or whatever in that unendearing stupid attitude of superiority she adopts.
I don't suppose the bank balance will be quite so healthy once the Scientologists have their hands on it.
