David Beckham on Viva! Black-list

Footballer and metrosexual extraordinaire David Beckham has landed himself on the black-list of animal rights group Viva! Apparently, he has infuriated them by wearing football boots made of kangaroo skin. The boots were made by Adidas, who has reportedly claimed that the boots were manufactured in line with Australian government rules.

"Like Viva! Adidas is opposed to kangaroos being killed in an inhumane or unnecessarily cruel manner," an Adidas spokesperson has been reported as saying. "This is why we insist that our suppliers fully comply with the Australian government's strict rules on kangaroo culling." Meanwhile, rumour has it that David has upped the security at his homes as a result.
