Brazilians taking the piss out of Zidane

I was in Praca de Se in central São Paulo on Friday and heard a cheer rise up from a crowd gathered in the plaza. I went over to investigate and found a TV crew that had set up a dummy in an Italian football jersey, and was inviting locals to headbutt it. It was very silly. The director saw me laughing and came up to ask me if I spoke Portuguese but I had to say no - to think I came this close to being on Brazilian telly nutting a mannequin. Anyway I filmed a few efforts and threw the vid up on youtube (to at least one person's consternation, according to his/her comment). At the very end the put-upon dummy even has a pop of its own at the cute presenter, who was quite aware of the absurdity of the scenario.
