Argentine presenter kills”psychic” WC octopus Paul”s kin to avenge German loss

LONDON - An Argentine TV presenter furious with Paul the ‘psychic’ World Cup octopus has horrified viewers by grabbing an octopus live on air and claimed he was killing it by hacking its head off and putting bits of it in a blender.

According to The Sun, presenter Roberto Pettinato, from Argentina’s ‘A Perfect World’ programme, said he wanted revenge after the tentacled soothsayer called the results so well.

He said Argentina fans blamed Paul for their World Cup exit after he correctly predicted Germany would beat them and some have voiced a desire to eat him.

Paul became famous for correctly predicting the result of eight consecutive World Cup clashes - finally picking winners Spain for the final.

Some even branded the animal a “Nazi”ettinato said as he lowered him into the machine: “Your moment has arrived, little Nazi octopus.” (ANI)
