Owen Hargreaves is fronting the Visit Germany campaign and he says ‘Go to Germany or die’. With his eyes. You can see it. The copywriters actually went with “I’m a big fan of Germany – except when I’m playing them”. They slightly woosed out, for sure, but you know he will get the attack dogs out if you don’t go to Deutschland. Did the copywriters want to be responsible for terrified children on the Costa del Sol knowing that when they get back to England Owen “Crazy Dog” Hargreaves will be waiting for them with sharp rusty knife? No, but don’t think he won’t find you.
He crushed over 70 footballs posing for this photo

Scared yet? You better be because this boy is moving to Manchester. He didn’t become a top-flight professional footballer by not fulfilling his promises. His eyes are writing messages his dobermans will cash. Look closely into them. They are summoning you to Germany.
I had to blur the pixels on this picture otherwise you girls would have been too scared of Owen
Even the final tagline is scary : “I’m a big fan of Germany – except when I’m playing them”. Now, I could understand it if he said “I’m a big fan of Germany – but when I play their national football team I really want to beat their national football team.” But no, Owen is clearly a messed up kid. He hates the whole country of Germany when he plays their football team. The man is mean.
I’d be scared if I didn’t spend at least 5 days in Germany rising money for Cancer Research UK.
If you know any way, any way at all, that you could end up driving through sunny Germania on a rally this summer, I beg you to take advantage of it.
Bail if you wish, but I can’t take responsibility for Owen’s actions.
