The first of the YWTC contests is the one involving this beautiful picture of David Beckham and Abel Xavier at a press conference. Xavier’s hairstyle makes any picture humorous, but throw in Beckham and you have a masterpiece.

  1. Of course, anyone who doesn’t watch FSC to be bombarded with Aero-garden and Procede commercials would only get half of those jokes. But for those of us that do, it’s gold…

  3. I’d just like to say, it’s completely awesome that multiple Giuseppe Franco/Procede referenced played. I can’t think of many other places where they’d work.

  4. Seisco, to be honest, No. 2 made me laugh out loud because I could definitely picture Beckham saying that. I think the overwhelming number of Franco-Procede entries cost No. 2 the top spot.
