A Chinese man is inviting bids of one million yuan (67,000 pounds) for the rights to an image of France captain Zinedine Zidane's infamous head-butt during last month's soccer World Cup final.
Zhao Xiaokai, general manager of a sport-related company, paid 2,000 yuan ($250) to register the trademark - a silhouette of Zidane head-butting Italy defender Marco Materazzi's chest - for shoes, hats and beer products.
Zhao said that he was considering developing his own line of head-butt branded products and that two beer companies had contacted him to discuss buying the rights.
And then there's Miss France. (Not really).
