Ming and Palpatine were turned down for jobs at FIFA for being too morally upstanding.
You've got to hand it to Blatter though. At a time when a large number of senior executives in his organisation are arrested for corruption, not only does he refuse to resign his position, but he claims to be the only candidate for election who could clean up FIFA.
-
Why not? He remains unindicted in a sea of corruption and criminality that goes back decades. Only a man of unique moral character and astonishing conduct could manage such an unbelievable feat.
-
It strikes me that either:
-
Blatter has either been complicit in, or tolerated the alleged corruption. Therefore he cannot be taken seriously as the leader to clean up FIFA.
-
He missed the signs that there was a bribery problem. In which case he's incompetent.
-
He and FIFA are actually innocent and purer than the driven snow on the peaks of the Swiss Alps! In which case he doesn't need to resign, but it might be prudent to do so in order to allow the organisation to continue with a fresh face.

I was never happy with any of the work I farmed out (track, not road). Did all my own engine and suspension work, and even changed and balanced my own tires, as I considered it tantamount to packing one's own chute. But I did let a strange factory in a foreign land build the bike. @injunjack:
shop built so called custom bikes suck big time. You either do build your chopper/bobber your self in your own garage / backyard or you don't brag about the result.

Someone needs to explain to me how Real McCoys doing Buco named gear is any different to the American clothing company who licensed the name Von Dutch?
And I won't be accepting "but Real McCoys stuff is really well made, in Japan" as answer. So are many brands who aren't riding the Buco name.
-
Is anyone claiming that it's not the same, @Megatron1505?
It's licensing…
-
No back story.
-
Then I guess my point being that the licensing of an iconic brand name, particularly when that name represent an individual, seems a little shallow and vacuous whether it is Buco or Von Dutch.
I get that the execution is markedly different in terms of quality, but still…
I like that brands are influenced by the classics, that's why they are classics, and interpreting or tweaking is one thing, but adding a label bearing the mans name just comes off a little lame to me.
