Wednesday, the most viewed video on YouTube.com, the popular site for
user-posted videos, was "A New Way to Solve Problems", from Austria, in which a
succession of a dozen or so innocent street encounters culminate in - you
guessed it, the head-butt.

Example: A tourist with a map asks a bicyclist for directions. The bicyclist
gets off to help, but can't. "You don't know?" the suddenly angry tourist
exclaims. THWAK! A header to the chest.

Just fewer than 600,000 people had viewed the video by late Wednesday, and many
added comments supportive of Zidane. So did the video's makers: "We are not
against Zidane, he is still the best. ok!!"

Zidane made his first public comments about the head-butt in an interview
Wednesday on French TV. He offered repeated apologies - especially to children
who watched it - but not regrets, saying Materazzi made cruel insults to his
mother and sister.

It might be some comfort to Zidane fans that the France captain isn't the only
one being mocked.

Another video circulating widely for the past few days is actually from 2004. In
an ad for Britain's Guardian newspaper, a fictitious soccer team - dubbed
Italy's, by the various users who've posted it to You Tube - is practicing for
the Euro 2004 championships. But what are they practicing?

Tumbling to the ground in exaggerated agony, clutching themselves and gesturing
for the referee to take notice. VIEW (:30),
