Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Perth, Australia's hoon capital

Sunday, 22 November 2009 2:07 P GMT+10
Having returned repeatedly to Perth, Western Australia over the last two decades, I've seen a lot of changes. The place practically doubled in population, became ethnically and culturally way more diverse, and is now far more aggressive and fast-

Falcon Heene will be haunted by hoax

Sunday, 25 October 2009 8:41 P GMT+10
While this couple who faked this balloon boy incident are obviously total pillocks who deserve to be punished for what they did, you've really gotta feel sorry for them. I mean, imagine being that needy and insecure that you would even consider d

Golliwogs now an endangered species

Monday, 19 October 2009 1:48 P GMT+10
The Hey Hey It's Saturday! blackface furore made paranoid shop owners move their golliwogs to the back shelves. Understandably, some think the reaction is unjustified. Store owner Diarne Revelle is quoted in the story above: "Kids aren't

Feminist naval gazing

Sunday, 5 July 2009 1:41 P GMT+10
While the fact that sailors on the HMAS Success were competing to shag as many women as possible is definitely not a good look, I do think that some people are over-reacting a tad. Melinda Tankard-Reist, for instance, says:"I don't believe t

Shallow Rachel

Sunday, 14 June 2009 6:49 P GMT+10
Rachel Ward, who is now spruiking a flick she's directed called Beautiful Kate, reckons young thespettes should stop being coy and happily nude up when asked to by directors. It's necessary for success, she reckons.  Don't wanna soun

The Chastened

Monday, 8 June 2009 10:45 P GMT+10
Re this cancer kids comedy kerfuffle: One of the Chaser team said "it was meant to be so over the top that people wouldn't take it seriously".  Well if you're going to do that, you have to make it crystal clear. You have to con

Peter Whittle, commentator

Saturday, 30 May 2009 1:26 P GMT+10
Just heard this bloke being interviewed on the Beeb's show Politics UK. He and a muso called James McMillan were talking about the stultifyingly politically correct atmosphere in Britain's Artsville. It was interesting stuff and I'll pos

Gay jokes on The Footy Show

Thursday, 28 May 2009 12:48 P GMT+10
Matthew Johns, the boofhead the squitterati love to hate, is embroiled in a new controversy. This time, he's provoked the ire of the gay community with a "homophobic" skit on The Footy Show. Says gay rights activist Gary Burns:“Yo

Matthew Johns group sexism scandal

Thursday, 14 May 2009 3:59 P GMT+10
So there's a push on to out the other players in the Matthew Johns group sex scandal. Part of the argument that they should be named and shamed is because they are public figures; role models. Fair enough. But isn't "Clare" as well?

Longing for perfection

Wednesday, 29 April 2009 2:39 P GMT+10
An Aussie politician called Hajnal Ban went to Siberia to have her legs surgically lengthened. And if the photo in this article is any guide it appears she's had her lips enlarged with collagen as well. So, she's obviously extremely concerned

New look an old story

Wednesday, 22 April 2009 2:06 P GMT+10
Susan Boyle reckons she needs a makeover. I suspect it won't be long before she looks like so many other glossy celebs. And when that has happened, she will have lost what made her so unique in the first place. Kinda sad, I reckon.  Happens

Jay Leno's Susan Boyle impersonation

Tuesday, 21 April 2009 12:52 P GMT+10
The media coverage of Susan Boyle and her stunning performance on Britian's Got Talent has been overwhelmingly positive, but Jay Leno has broken ranks with an impersonation of her.  Seems to be all in good fun; not malicious. But it does pro

Susan Boyle, the new Paul Potts

Thursday, 16 April 2009 1:37 P GMT+10
Susan Boyle is a plump, dowdy 47 year old who has recently appeared on Britain's Got Talent. Not unlike the aesthetically challenged Paul Potts a coupla years back, she suddenly became extremely graceful once she sang her first note, leaving many

Creepy conception

Saturday, 13 December 2008 3:24 P GMT+10
Another case of a woman wanting to make a baby with a dead man's sperm. While I pity the woman and can understand her motives, I can't help but be creeped out by the whole idea. Of course, most feminists will think this is all fine and dandy

Blues used ... again

Friday, 12 December 2008 2:26 P GMT+10
Just recently, depression was used as an excuse for rugby player Greg Bird's alleged bad behaviour. Now, a high profile young businesswoman is invoking it as a reason for her cocaine use. Call me cynical but I don't buy it. I think she just b

Australians review Australia review

Monday, 1 December 2008 1:46 P GMT+10
That unflattering review of the film Australia by Mark Naglazas has really hit a nerve. If this is an indication of our cultural identity, then we're less laconic and thick skinned than we thought. Seem to be quite a touchy bunch, actually. 

Spiritual benefits of the global economic downturn

Thursday, 27 November 2008 1:13 A GMT+10
Not surprisingly most people investigating and analyzing the world economic downturn and its consequences for society feel a sense of dread about it all. But at least one of these researchers, the fluffy wuffy Hugh McKay, is almost looking

Greer's sneer

Thursday, 20 November 2008 1:31 P GMT+10
One thing I learned about feminists from my time in Artsville: They do hate men, but they absolutely loathe other women.  That's why I'm not surprised by the Germainiac's latest rant, a vicious attack on Michelle Obama. 

Moulin Rouge in the outback

Wednesday, 19 November 2008 11:43 P GMT+10
Considering how suspiciously positive many reviews of the epic movie Australia have been, it's refreshing to read an honest, highly critical one. As Mark Naglazas describes the movie, it sounds like Baz Lurhmann is up to his old tricks. Lots

Juvenile injustice

Friday, 31 October 2008 1:02 P GMT+10
Some troubled teen has got West Aussie social workers worried. Deciding that the the cost of inaction will be greater (and where have I heard that argument used before?) the Department of Child Protection has set him up on an isolated farm with round

Tot in title fight

Saturday, 25 October 2008 6:10 P GMT+10
An Italian court has ordered the parents of a kid they named "Friday" to change the moniker pronto. Just as well Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and bub didn't settle there. If "Friday" provoked a court order, "Sunday Ros

Cycle of violence

Tuesday, 21 October 2008 12:36 P GMT+10
In April some young thugs teorrorized Merrylands High School. Yesterday, after one of them was sentenced, his mates went spacko outside the court, attacking waiting hacks and cameramen. This act of violence resulted in other charges being laid. 

Greg Bird's depression

Sunday, 19 October 2008 1:27 P GMT+10
Greg Bird's mum reckons he was suffering depression at the time of his alleged attack on his girllfriend. I find this all too common excuse for bad behaviour disturbing.  Lots of people are clinically depressed, yet they don't harm other

Wealth to blame ... again

Tuesday, 14 October 2008 6:46 P GMT+10
Dr Fiona Stanley may be an ace boffinette, but she's utterly clueless when it comes to questions of culture and society. Here, she wheels out a variation of the dodgy "affluenza" argument, blaming moolah for the growing health and psych

No more greens for the greenies

Saturday, 11 October 2008 1:48 P GMT+10
I've long thought that this mad obsession with animal rights would eventually result in calls for plant rights as well. Seems that has actually happened.This'll be majorly problematic for ferndies. A lot of them are vegetarians and vegan
