Lionel Messi: Permanently Wigged
Okay, so as far as we can gather, Leo needs to grow his hair like Maradona for them to bond during Argentina’s World Cup action. Or, it’s an ode to perms. Or a warning not to get perms. Or a reminder that only extremely talented footy players are allowed to have perms.
Yeah, no idea. Our Spanish Kickette has deemed today an all day under the duvet situ. But enjoy the link until we can wake her up.

Update: Okay, here’s what this crazy-making ad is about. Argentinian fans took to Facebook to ask Messi to perm his hair so he could look like Maradona. The logic is such that Maradona’s great skills in ’86 were down to his barnet. “The wind hovered over his hair and created a streamline, just like Formula 1 cars.”
Hmm. We liked not knowing better.
Thanks AG!
[...] gals over at the Kickette have the story IF you really need to know the how & the why. [...]
If ALL the perms were banned from the squad, maybe, just maybe Argentina had a chance of winning the WC. But with the original perm as the head coach…no fat chance.
not even a perm can make that guy run when he plays for our country.
yeah people, that’s right!! lots of argentines are mad at him… and the rest of the team too ¬¬ =(
OMG plese Gods of universe don’t it happen XD

“Hmm. We liked not knowing better” ,,,, indeed :S
instead of perms, i read germs and you can’t blame me really, Maradonna was involved
LOFL! ::lol::
It looks like a spoof. A very funny one indeed… and isn’t Lionel a lovely, patriotic boy? I wouldn’t even be wearing it for the Queen.
Oh wow. Really? He just looks creepy there.
OMG, what’s wrong with Leo’s hair?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Thanks for this! I was so stressed at work but this made me laugh out loud!
I totally agree!!!
leo- your hair looked gorgeous- a maradona do’ will not do you or your looks any good!
Leo please don’t grow your hair like Maradona! You’re good enough!
