Secrets and supersecrets

So, the news is full of the word superinjunctions and various footballers who may or may not have applied and got one to hide what they may or may not have done.
For those of you living outside of Britain or are Sun readers, a superinjunction is so called because not only is the events that it covers become secret so is the fact the injunction itself, or the fact there is one, is also a secret.

Turns out that the rich and semi-famous have been getting them when they can’t keep their peckers in their pants and want to hide the fact. Now, I have to say I don’t care who has done what with whom, especially footballers whose only claim is they can kick a bag of wind around. And when they are not kicking a bag of wind around or buying supercars or shooting work placement types with an airgun, they like to go down the local disco to get some action. And after the action there is sometimes a consequence.

So, the rumours are that a family loving player had an affair with a former contestant from Big Brother and another famous football got a 16 year old girl pregnant last year. I heard from my good friend Jimmy that the first was Ryan Giggs and the second is Steven Gerrard. So, in the interests of research I thought I would see how easy it was to find if these were true.

I powered the laptop up and went onto Google. I typed in the words Ryan and Giggs; the autofill came up with all sorts of pages: the Man Utd homepage, his Wiki entry. I typed in the letter ‘s’: the autofull changed and the top it was Ryan Giggs superinjunction. I clicked on the link. I was taken to an Irish site which reported that various websites around the world had indeed reported that Giggs was the player in question. There was a link to an American website; and on that was an editorial comparing Ryan Giggs to Brett Favre who both have let their winkies lead them into trouble. And notes that if Giggs were in America he could not have hushed it up, as Favre had tried to do after e mailing pictures of his willy to a young lady. He failed in the US, but Giggs is still being portrayed in the British press as this straight-laced family loving man and most decorated player who should be the next Manchester United manager, who has a superinjuction keeping his affair secret.

I told Jools about this and said that Steven Gerrard has a similar superinjunction, and so she typed in his name into Google along with the word superinjunction and found that last year he had got a 16 year old girl pregnant. Which will not go down well with potential American sponsors as this would count as sex offence if committed in America. Will not look good.

So, with two simple Google searches I have circumvented the superinjunctions and found out the stories. If it is this easy, then the law as it stands is an ass and should be changed.
