For those who may not understand the reference (I am showing my age) please go here for the video.
It is in reference to some recent news out of Brazil where FIFA has been implicated in a ticket scalping operation apparently run out of the FIFA headquarters and hotel ... wait for it ... the Copacabana.
You can't make this stuff up folks.
The Guardian provided this gem at, World Cup 2014: Fifa official linked to $100m ticket scandal – police.
Aside from the silly song reference, and my knee jerk reaction of "who didn't think there was scalping going on?", was the ultra covert, black ops code name the Brazilian PD had for their sting ...
Operation Jules Rimet.
Wow ... who would have ever guessed.
It would need to be something way more Tom Clancy, like "Operation Blue Balls" in reference to the FIFA logo, or maybe "Operation Swiss Cheese" referring to FIFA's origin.
Then again maybe I am overthinking a bunch of FIFA suits using a middle man to sell tickets at 8x their face value and finding another way to screw the people of Brazil.
FIFA of course when faced with this news came up with a stunning rebuttal ...
"Maybe it's not from FIFA ..."
Again, you can't make this stuff up folks.
