    Bad Press at the World Cup

    COMCAST.NET In an incident involving a drunken Briton, Munich police said a Scottish resident was arrested Saturday at a fan festival in the city's Olympic Park after raising his kilt and exposing himself to passers-by _ including a police officer.

    The man was taken to a police cell, where he tried to bite an officer's arm, a police statement said. He was released from detention after sobering up.

    It's difficult to know how to respond to such ignorant behavior. There is no excuse. He doesn't deserve the privilege of wearing a kilt.

    Cheers! Bill

    I might have mentioned this before-but last year I was in Prague, and the centre of town was so full of drunken kilted chaps, mooning and in general being really rather disgusting: that I went back to my apartment and changed into trousers so as not to be associated with them.

    Another article has the kilt wearer's story:

    http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/f...name_page.html

    He claims that it was a case of an unfortunate sitting position. Either way, gotta know better!
