Oh man, this is disgusting. You know how Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez likes to break into all the television channels on occasion, with long Castro-style speeches, just to hear his own voice? Well, as All Venezuela has stood by, mesmerized at the World Cup on TV, he’s decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to break into the soccer games to issue his multi-hour political diatribes, called ‘cadenas.’
When a cadena is on, you can’t flip the channel. All you get is him, no matter what channel you flip to. Chavez is known to be jealous of attention the World Cup holds on Venezuelans and wants it for himself. So, he decided to show them all who was boss.
Daniel has the whole gross story about how Chavez broke into all the TV sets while everyone was watching soccer because he was sure he had something more important to say here.
UPDATE: Daniel’s quoted in the Chicago Tribune on the matter of Ozzie Guillen’s foul language, which the latter claims is ‘cultural.’ Daniel debunks the guy and it’s hilarious! You gotta see the whole thing here!
