Virgin Media withdraws offensive film, apologizes

A short film has been deleted from the Virgin Media website which the Romanian Embassy had complained was offensive having symbolised their national football team as a group of fat gypsies bearing thick gold chains round their necks.

Pretty tame really, you get about 10 seconds of "humor"... and I use that term very loosley... toward the end.

You can draw your own conclusions but it's probably got more to do with the fact that the presenter pretty much said they've not got a hope in hell of getting to the final 8.
