The Australian Zeitgeist Tracking Thread

SOmething kinda amusing abt hearing newsreader on Lateline saying "pussy riot".

john michael howson a nazi sympathiser, no surprises there

Hasnt he always been a really uptight conservative bigot generally? Certainly a nasty person.

y and y

i never realised he was anything but a celebrity pest, and i also thought he was gay but being on 3AW surely precludes that

reckons he was censored by a caller who hung up on him

Yeah the being gay + bigoty fuck is certainly an ... unusual combo. Not completely unheard of mind u.

Ohhh this involves mama a$$asge? Yeahhhh... she is.. not all there. Friend of mine is a SMH journo and basically got stalked/harrased on twitter with insults and goading by her for daring to ask her in an interview if it was legitimate to say son a$$ange is even a journalist. Shit I hope this thread isnt googleable.

Not completely unheard of mind u.

wikipedia sez he is openly gay btw

x yeah, like that creepy gay bloke who argues *against* marriage equality at acl 'debates'

xxp even

Theyre both bollox-mad. Srsly if you say anything below "JOOLIAN IS A GOD" near his mama the shit hits the FAN.

oh wow, i didn't know about the j0nez cottaging incident

anyway he's 71 so hopefully dead soon

thrd deindexed now btw

Heh ta.

Srsly who shouts "seig heil" on radio at someone who refuses to do an interview with him? WTH is the matter with that man.

ORNALDO BLOOMPS AND LITTLE FLNYN

oh wow, i didn't know about the j0nez cottaging incident

The best bit was the fact that this was revealed to the world in live TV by Chopper Reed, of all people

How did I never know this story wtf.

skip to two minutes in:

God I'd forgotten how much of a useless pompous old windbag kerrianne kennel was. (is, probably)

Age headline groan of the day "Oh Myki you're not so fine".

Suprised that one wasn't used sooner tbh

laydeezangennelmen, place ur bets! who will go bust first: TEN or NINE?

TEN: http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2012/08/soft-start-for-i-will-survive.html

NINE: have to refinance $2.8 billion by february

hair on fire v one.tel alumnus

tricky

Nine might be rescued by the 'Howzat!' juggernaut if they can spin it (cricket joke, son) into a weekly series about Aussie blokes from the 70s playing cricket (as Ten foolishly has replaced cricket with nudity and masturbation in 'Puberty Blues').

howzat: badness

Howzat: A Tale of 'Tangles'

Howzat: The Gloves Are Off (starring Timmy Zoehrer)

Howzat: The Golden Duck

they should do a one-off telemovie based around that time packer abused drunk ernie sigley and made him cry

just shoot it from a variety of angles and replay it for two hours

leigh sales fucking destroyed abbott tonight, if you're keen

lined 'em up and knocked 'em down

delicious television

"Did you read the BHP statement?"
"Uh..."

he actually said 'no' tbh

I missed the 730 caning, just read the transcript on ABC websiet. Jesus that man is a weaselly fuckhead. I've never seen such a spectacular example of evasiveness in my life.

Especially when Sales is like "so, in regards to fudging the truth..." and hes like YES GILLARD DOES THAT A LOT DOESNT SHE HMM? and Sales is all "NO I MEANT U U WEASELFUK"

Speaking of:

Fucking L4rry P1ck3r1n6--I'm no GIllard fan, but of all the people to be gunning for her over dubious financial dealings in the past. This is a man who got rich selling dodgy "make millions betting on horses" CD-ROMs for hundreds of dollars each, has been declared a bankrupt on more than one occasion (and yet has his huge Gold COast house and numerous other possessions in his wife's name), and has a wife who has gone missing and nobody knows where she is.

Yeah I never knew all that about him til now! I knew he drew gross sexist horrible cartoons but I thought he was a long gone 80s embarassment.

i recall my parents had one of his calendars. highlights included:

• nude ita buttrose brandishing needle and thread (which she'd sewn up her vadge with)
• nude ivan lendl playing tennis with his own balls, much like a scrotal take on totem tennis

any chance a mod could alter my comment to googleproof his name? i don't wish to be sued :(

sure

thank you!!!
