British website lets you feed Sepp Blatter money and gold

A new online game lets you feed FIFA president Sepp Blatter money, gold and other items relating in some way to the corruption scandal that rocked soccer's governing body last week.

A new online game lets you feed FIFA president Sepp Blatter money, gold and other items relating in some way to the corruption scandal that rocked soccer's governing body last week.

The site is www.blattr.co.uk, and the goal is simple: bribe Sepp Blatter as much as you can.

The game presents you with an item—a roll of bills, coin, bar of gold, lobster, rainbow flag or subpoena, to name a few examples—and asks you to throw it into Blatter's mouth, as the FIFA president cackles and provides commentary.

The sound effects are the best part. The large-headed, animated Blatter laughs maniacally throughout and expresses joy at certain items ("Money, money, money!") and disgust at others ("A subpoena?! Yuck!").

Andrew Jennings' 2006 book on FIFA is selling for crazy prices

The game ends when you miss Blatter's mouth five times. 

It's pretty fun. Or, as animated Blatter says, "Gold, baby, gold!"
