Bribe and Football in a "news break"

I generally have what I call "news-breaks". These are moments when I just read newspapers online, in order to relax a bit, have a few laughs and think of something different than work (or in this case study). So today, while reading the news I came across two funny articles. One about bribery in Romania and the other about some women that hate football.
So what's funny about these two subjects, you may ask. Well bribery is not funny. It's common in Romania which makes it even less fun. I hate that you have to/can bribe policemen, administration, doctors, taxi drivers, anyone. This is not good and not fair. So, after other anti-bribery campaigns that were ran in Romania, the government comes up with a new one. This one is funnier somehow, as they want to print 0 (zero) lei bills which tell people about the lack of morality of bribery. I think it's a wonderful idea. I just hope that no one will try to bribe someone with this bills. haha!
The anti-football women protest I find it also really funny. Some women from Spain started this and then their friends from UK became solidary to the cause. Fighting for "a Football-free England", they invite you to "rise against the World Cup tournament". It's so funny. They said they got sick of not getting enough attention from their hubbies and of the fact they can't watch their favorite soap operas. I don't like football that much but I still watch some important games. So for me it wouldn't be the greatest loss. But the point is that this whole freedom of speech is getting beyond limits. I mean we all have the right to do things we love. Guys love football, so what? There's nothing you can do about it. You wanna watch soap operas, buy a new TV or wait until the championship is over. It's not like it lasts for years. Also guys respect the women's need for shopping, gossip and shoes.
