See the Football Diving Hall of Shame for some Oscar-worthy performances.

Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
As much as I love the “beautiful game” I despise the not-so-beautiful acting. Players are supposed to get a yellow card for deceiving the ref, but I’ve only seen 2-3 cards given out for acting.
…and this before Argentina’s performance…
It’s kind of interesting, perhaps someone can work out an equilibrium model on the benefits of diving and not diving.
I hate to be that guy, but shouldn’t the Y axis read “number” of acting classes needed? I figure that if I give them a hard time at the grocery store (“10 items or less!”), I should be equal-opportunity and do it here, too.
Still seems kind of high for “Twilight”.
I just wish I had the courage to download and watch Twilight. I have one of the books here, though. I suppose I could try to read it.
I suppose that for someone who cares as much about form as about content it can’t be any worse than Dan Brown’s atrocious attempts at forming sentences.
Diving is a form of art comparable to mime. Ask Luis Figo about it.
Even if Ashley Greene couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag, I’d gladly watch her for 2 hours.
Twice in two months, I agree with this blog! I must reexamine my faith.
