Giant Rooney to be set on fire

A massive replica of the footballer Wayne Rooney will be set alight in Kent on Saturday to celebrate Bonfire Night.

 

Edenbridge Bonfire Society say that they hold "no malice" towards the England and Manchester United striker, who is currently suffering from an ankle injury.

 

It is a sign of how unpopular Wayne Rooney has become after a poor World Cup was quickly followed by allegations regarding his private life. He then negotiated a huge contract from his club Manchester United after initially saying he would leave.

 

The 49 ft creation also has 'Shrek ears' to mock Rooney's likeness to the animated figure.

 

Over the past few years, the society has burned a number of unpopular celebrities including Jordan, Jonathan Ross, James Hewitt and Saddam Hussein.

 

Tickets are still available to watch Rooney go up in smoke.

That's just harsh.

It's 49feet big?! Holy fuck, why didn't they take a better picture?

^A pretty good likeness, I'd say............................. :rolleyes:

Well it turns out someone did take a better picture:

 

Can we have one of Lurch too?:laugh3:

^He isn't hated enough.

People just feel sorry for him......................... :rolleyes:

poor guy :(

That's just harsh.

 

That.

 

 

I mean, the guy gets on my nerves sometime but I don't fantasize by burning him or anything that even looks like him. :uhoh:

That.

He just happens to be this year's "hate figure". In previous years there's been Mrs. Thatcher and Tony Blair (on numerous occasions), and possibly Gordon Brown and Maradona too.:rolleyes:

And as the real Rooney has been sent to "rehab" in the U.S., he probably won't hear too much about it.:P

It would be harsh if Rooney wasn't a hairy dullard beast with no feelings. No doubt if he see's this article he'll probably spit at the newspaper and punch it and tell it to fuck off.
