...people who fill the stadium on match days, its influence is often evident when thousands of "normal" fans take up the ultras' chants of racial obscenities directed at opposing black players, and at PSG's own black players when the team plays badly. In 1995, Liberian soccer legend George Weah played his last game for PSG as racist banners and fascist symbols hung from rails; a special anti-racism themed match in 2004 inspired ultras and thousands of easily led fans to "monkey grunt" whenever a black player got the ball.

But I'll give Lulu-Louise a tragic-happy ending. At the climax of the 1930 Prix de beaut?, she is a movie star sitting in a screening room about to watch the rushes of her big song. (It's the sad, teasing "Je n'ai qu'un Amour c'est Toi," and, in another 100th birthday...
...zeal is directed mainly at Wii Sports. The Wii Channels network for weather, shopping and even surfing the Web, had not yet launched, and other games, such as Legend of Zelda title and Excite Truck, looked okay but didn't hook me. My hope is that Nintendo continues to develop games like Wii Sports-it's easy to dream up Wii versions of other activities, from fishing to snowmobiling...
