"R U Professional" is a song by the indie rock band The Mae Shi, inspired by the audio of a July 2008 outburst of actor Christian Bale on the set of Terminator Salvation. The song was written and released by the group twenty-four hours after the February 2, 2009 appearance of the Bale outburst on the internet. In a statement released from The Mae Shi, the group explained that the audio from the Bale outburst "was so crazy" that they were inspired to record a song about it, further stating "it's a tribute song we made to celebrate the epic-ness of Christian Bale". The piece was made available on YouTube and via download on MediaFire on February 3, 2009.

The song has received generally positive reception. MTV.com characterized it as "a Devo-esque slice of new wave fun", and Dose called it an "electro jam". Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times called it "a jaunty pop ode to Bale". Music sites including Pitchfork Media were impressed with the group's ability to write, record and release the video within twenty-four hours after the audio of the Bale outburst appeared on the internet.

R. Union Saint-Gilloise is a Belgian football club located in the municipality of Forest, though it is named after the neighbour municipality of Saint-Gilles, Brussels. It had been in the second division in 2004-05, but was subsequently relegated to third division. Its matricule is the n°10. The club has won 11 Belgian championships between 1903 and 1935, making it the most successful Belgian club before World War II.

The club was founded in 1897 and obtained its first of eleven titles as Champion of Belgium in 1904. Until World War II it was a major team in Belgian football, establishing a well-known record in Belgium in the years 1933 to 1935 (they played 60 consecutive games without losing). In the early 1900's the club also had a dominant spell in some of the very first "European" Cup competitions that took place, prior to officially sanctioned UEFA competitions.

After the Second World War, it had a brief spell of European success, playing the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup between 1958 and 1965 (but this cup was not bound with the championship final table), and attaining the semi-finals in the 1958-60 edition after a two legged victory against A.S. Roma. In 1963, the club is relegated to the second division, and even attained the lowest national level in 1980.
