Amidst the corruption and bribery charges surrounding FIFA, Sepp Blatter is resigning as president. British comedian Simon Brodkin ran on stage as Blatter was about to give a press conference and tossed a ton of dollar bills at the disgraced FIFA president and claimed to represent the “North Korea 2026” World Cup bid.
Blatter, whose reign will come to an end over a massive corruption scandal, was offput, recoiling as the money came down and leaving the conference until the area was clean.
Brodkin has made a name for himself crashing events where he isn’t wanted — the comic, who often plays a character named Lee Nelson, ran onto the pitch to practice with Manchester City in 2013 and recently attempted to perform alongside Kanye West at Glastonbury.
Somewhere, a official in North Korea just realized if they did throw enough money at FIFA, they probably could host the 2026 World Cup.
