i.e. the new "lying down" craze

emmanen's wipey was doing photo plank pranks feels like... six years ago?, anyone know how/why it's "taken off" now? I don't facebook so not sure how it memed up

also lol at sad cop blaming lying down immobile for causing reckless death of a drunk idiot

I facebook heavily and I had never ever heard of this shit til 24 hours ago. Appartently it was just one tiny Bris group on FB but the cops did a stupid press release making it out to be a dangerous craze when it wasnt. And then this all happend.

nah, I'd heard about it being an international facebook thing last week. Kerry-Anne wouldn't be doing it if it was some tiny Brisbane thing.

Thats what had me baffled.

Keep up the work. Laying down very still could be the next worldwide phenomenon.

Millionaires who do something are being savaged by aggressive cunts who do nothing

libs dissention

The carbon tax whining's got a bit odd. "oh millionares like cate who can afford to pay this tax" uhhh... they arent taxing US, theyre taxing BIG POLLUTING COMPANIES.

ffs Trayce, what place do facts have in this scandal

I know, I'm sorry, what the hell was I thinking ;_;

The second you start banging on about "facts" you are effectively cutting murdoch out of the debate

masterchef 'WA week' - p. intense challenge imo

speaking of murdoch

"how's ur fish n chips? that fish batter looks fantastic"

"the fish is frozen"

Much-loved children's television show Sesame Street and hit sitcoms Friends and Happy Days are being used to promote secret left wing messages, according to a new book.

Conservative columnist and author has Ben Shapiro accused television executives and writers of pushing a liberal agenda in several high profile American television entertainment shows.

His book Primetime Propaganda will show how the "most powerful medium of mass communication in human history became a vehicle for spreading the radical agenda of the left side of the political spectrum," according to the publishers HarperCollins.

Learning ones alphabet and that people are diverse and everybody sleeps and how to count.

Gosh how radical.

"learning" is clearly a communist concept, given the number of right-wingers who are uneducated

Millionaires who do something are being savaged by aggressive cunts who do nothing

Caton's recently bankrupt, isn't he?

Hmm maybe not, thought that was part of him making noise about suing Adam Sandler for doing a non-gay gay-marriage comedy but maybe he was just saying he’d made nothing off it

Anyway, doubt dude would even have a million in property, let alone be "a millionaire"

Blanchett is the one copping all the heat so, also Rowena Wallace is bankrupt iirc

I was listening to lefty trendy young person's radio where they only said that Blanchett & Caton had signed a letter and Tony Windsor (bless him) was saying $10 was bullshit low, so

Melbourne seems to have a faster turnaround on tory outrage generally though

one major donor to 'say yes' campaign is rupe's sister. murdoch family crisis!

brilliant

OK, looks like our 4ud13nc3 are capabable of working up a froth too:

Who the hell does C___ B_______ think she is, go back to America where she belongs, don't come here tell us about carbon tax, (etc etc)

aaaaahahahahaha

also this: http://www.theage.com.au/environment/climate-change/i-was-gutless-over-climate-ads-dick-smith-20110530-1fbwk.html

Entrepreneur Dick Smith says he was too "gutless" to feature in an advertising campaign supporting a carbon tax because he was afraid he would be criticised by Rupert Murdoch's newspapers.

Mr Smith said he was asked to appear in the television ads alongside Oscar winning actor Cate Blanchett, but declined.

"I didn't appear on it because I knew that I would be a front page of lies in the Rupert Murdoch press here," he said in Sydney today.

So he was too gutless to support it but then went to the press saying he supports it anyway? o_0

oh and just 100% coincidentally he is launching his new book today
