I did it. I missed a day! June 20th, 2010 went by without a smidgeon of a visual. To those of you who missed seeing a Photo of the Day yesterday. I apologize. To make up for it (as well as today's missing pic), here's a little morsel of goodness to suckle on.
"When the world comes together at an event like the FIFA World Cup 2010, there’s typically more than just a trophy at stake. In South Africa, the country hosting this year’s tournament, race relations surely stand out as one of the more complex issues. In this stop-motion short, titled Go South Africa!, the topic is examined in a morality tale involving soccer balls. The short was directed by Robbert-Jan Vos, and art directed and animated by Renske Mijnheer."

And as my internet is being wonky, I'll supply the link to the embedded video above, in case it doesn't show up. What did you think? Have you been watching the World Cup? Instead of asking who you'd like to win, who would you hate to see reach that victorious final bracket position?
