Stop The Pigeon!
You tell yourself that cartoons don’t have a corrupting effect on your kids and then you see something like this.
Gastón Aguirre seems to have been unduly influenced by Dick Dastardly and Muttley during his ’80s childhood. The San Lorenzo striker is certainly a lot more effective at waylaying pigeons than the cartoon duo ever were. His wild shot in the first Apertura playoff game against Tigre sent feathers flying and left the referee with a nasty clean up job.
More dead birds - and I never thought I’d write this - can be seen here. Dick Dastardly aficionados will be sad to learn that there’s no pigeon killing in this video. The bird’s already a goner when the clip begins.
