Roberto Pettinato Executes 'Nazi Octopus': Revenge on Paul

Argentinian TV Presenter Kills Octopus in Act of World Cup Revenge

Some in Argentina can't get over their team's defeat in the World Cup. Some fans are blaming Paul the Psychic Octopus, as though Argentina's loss was his fault, rather than his having predicted their defeat.

One such fan, Un Mudo Perfecto (A Perfect World) presenter Roberto Pettinato, cut up an octopus live on the air, and put the dismembered creature into a blender, saying, "Your moment as has arrived, little Nazi octopus!" The segment was called "Licuamos al pulpo Nazi", which translates to "We liquefy a Nazi octopus".

Pettinato claims that he killed the octopus (which was not Paul, who remains safe in Germany), though it's not clear if the hapless cephalopod was already dead before the segment started.

Meanwhile, Paul the Psychic Octopus has troubles of his own as he heads into early retirement: German fans, though somewhat mollified by their 3rd-place finish, haven't forgiven Paul for siding against Die Mannschaft during the semifinals.

Some have posited that Paul doesn't actually predict the future; instead, he warps time and space to make the outcome match his selection. Argentina is still smarting over their loss to Germany, as predicted by Paul, so they got a little televised revenge.

A classic case of hating the player and not the game. Also, an easier action to take than addressing Argentina's coaching issues.

It's hard out here for an octopus.

Que patético resultó Roberto Pettinato... Además de mostrar su intolerancia,  ¿cómo le llama a un pulpo nazi???  Es traslapar que lo que viene de Alemania es nazi, esto demuestra su profunda ignorancia. Que pena me da Roberto Pettinato.

Ok it seems that you people crearly watch the show "Un mundo perfecto con roberto petinato" (A perfect world with Roberto Petinato) He makes things joking plp arround the world about the stupid things that are said for example and mainly for politics.Well with this, to make things clear to all you fucking retarded plp, the octopus was indeed DEAD yeah it was dead, how? simple. 20 mins before the show, someone goes with a butcher shop or fish shop arround the area and buy it, its so simple like that. Now if you think that this is bad, then you guys wont be able even to watch the cooking channel when they have to cook fish or anything similar.All that you do is talk shit of the first thing you see at tv without even knowing the show!

it is sad to see how some british guys make silly comments about watching how an octopus which was already dead is cut into pieces, things you see day by day in the UK or everywhere. This was just to add some irony to the sad sport situation we had. In our country, fortunately far away much more tolerant and no racist like yours, words, like nazi, black, jews, turk, etc., are not offensive at all and part of our inmigration origin. We all do respect our differences of origin much more than in any other place in the world.  For sure a dead octopus was cut into pieces. In your case guys you killed for years aborigenous people in many countries, invaded and took away their territories, enjoyed slavery, piracy, you know...please be adults, assume the real truth of your past and present.

excuse, I ve lived in Britain and Argentina, let me say, the news has been manipulated, it says presenter Roberto Pettinato, cut up an octopus live on the air, and put the dismembered creature into a blender, when actually should said, CUT UP AN OCTOPUS; LIVE IN THE AIR, the octopus wasn t alive, everybody new, The joke wasn t good, but c,mon how many of you THAT CRITIZES EAT MEAT! FOR GOOD SAKE! and how many of you support ANIMAL TORTURE by eating so many eggs in the morning coming  from animal torture, and those animals are alive! and how many of you eat LOBSTER, do you know it has to be cooked live to be tender? so, before talking, if you don t wanna be like PETTINATO, first take a lot to yourself, honestly, AND PLEASE DON T TALK ABOUT ETHICS, NEITHER ARGENTINA NOR BRITAIN HAD ETHICS, and IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE BRAIN, PLEASE DON T MIXED UP THE WAR with this,CAUSE NON OF YOU HAS LOST SOMEONE YOU LOVE THERE, AND IF YOU KEEP ON CRITIZE THEN NEVER GO TO SPAIN, BECAUSE THEY MISTREAT THE BULLS BY KILLING THEM FOR A SPORT 'CORRIDA DE TOROS! I was a kid during the war, please don t be silly, NEVER AGAIN MIXED UP THINGS I HEARD THAT BEFORE THERE, PLEASE THINK ABOUT ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU CAN DO INSTEAD OF THINKING SHIT ABOUT OTHERS, AND STAY HOME DOING ZAPPING
