Psychic Octopus Enters Witness Protection

by Brian Alterman on Jul.08, 2010, under Sports

It appears that Paul the psychic octopus is in hot water (figuratively) after he once again predicted the winner of Germany’s world cup match. The problem is he didn’t pick Germany. Due to the fact the the octopus jinxed the team leaving them vulnerable to defeat at the hands of defending European champion and 2nd ranked team on the planet Spain, Paul is receiving threats of death, or being eaten (which one would assume involved death somewhere along the line). Just when you thought this couldn’t get any more nonsensical, PETA stepped in with a call to have him set free. Oliver Walenciak, Paul’s caretaker seems to be taking it in stride:

“There are always people who want to eat our octopus but he is not shy and we are here to protect him as well, He will survive.”

:Paul the Oracle Octopus, Psychic Octopus, scungilli, Those morons at PETA, world cup

You know, I really want to comment about how stupid these fans are, how stupid PETA is, and which is worse. (Hint – The answer is PETA), but what in the world is up with that photo!

That may be the worst thing I have ever seen. And I have seen Transformers 2.

Let us not look too hard at that photograph and remember to mock PETA properly. I mock you, PETA. Mock you good.

I dont see how they can say its a psychic octopus, apparently before this world cup he got around 30-40% of them wrong. Now if he predicted the scores, I’ld believe a bit more

I guess hiding in Japanese girl’s mouths is a good call for witness protection.
