Infamous Chinese World Cup Commentator

World Cup commentator Huang Jianxiang 黄健翔 has recently come under flame for a slew of statements  such as:

""Italy the great! Left back the great! Happy birthday to Maldini! Forza Italia! Long live Italy!"

&

"Go home! Go home! But they don’t need to fly back to Australia. It’s too far away. Most of them live in Europe anyway. Bye-bye!" (Translations taken from ChinaDaily online.)

While the ChinaDaily says that BBS netizens are 50-50 about his "passionate pean", Sina has gone ahead and created a fansite (of sorts) for him:

And then, Huang receives another honor: an audio clip mocking his passionate style, author unknown. It begins:

啊!通啦,通啦,通啦!手机没有关机,电话接通啦…
(Ah! It’s ringing! Ringing! Ringing! The phone’s not off, my call is going through…
)

Thanks to PostShow for pointing us over to the clip.
