Lukas Podolski throws reporter in swimming pool

The journalist doesn’t even know the No. 1 rule of getting thrown in a pool: take the thrower with you.

Pool

Lukas Podolski was bored at a media event with the Germany team so he did what any enterprising eight-year-old would do -- throw someone in the pool.

The person he picked was a reporter, who had his cell phone in his pocket and a white shirt. The result was not exactly pretty, but Podolski was no longer bored so it was a success.

Also relevant: it was funny.

Podolski may have set a record for most fun ever had by a German in these 10 seconds.
