Yes We Canberra!

0 comments Wednesday, July 28, 2010

The Chaser's new television program 'Yes We Canberra' starts tonight on ABC1 at 9.45pm.

You should all definitely watch it, I went to the studio record last night and it was wonderfully hilarious.

Here's a sneak peak of the show featuring the JULIE BISHOP DEATH STARE!

and, the ANGRY KEVIN.


So yes, make sure you all tune in tonight, ABC1 - 9.45pm :) 

ps, ABC News 24 ♥

Julia Gillard is a bad influence. Apparently.

4 comments Tuesday, June 29, 2010

So the newspapers, radio, television and magazines have all made it very clear that our new Prime Minister Julia Gillard isn't married but is in a defacto relationship. We all know it. Do we care?                                                                

I certainly don't. 

Bettina Ardnt has published an opinion piece this morning through Fairfax Media, in which she suggests that Gillard could be a bad influence on women because she's not married.

"It's fine for Gillard - a 48-year-old woman - to live with her bloke. Yet as a popular role model for women, her lifestyle choice may influence other women into making big mistakes about their lives."

 "If Gillard chooses to play house with Tim Mathieson in the Lodge, this choice sends a strong message to the huge numbers of women who rightly admire her and seek to follow her example. A lifestyle suited to her particular needs may be riskier for many women and their children." 

 Sorry, I wasn't aware that we were still living in the 1950's.  

“Women's tiny reproductive window means they pay a high price for wasting precious breeding time in such uncertain relationships.”

This is assuming that all women want to get married and have lots of babies. Ms Gillard has made it clear that she does not want children, so if she doesn’t then maybe there’s other people that don’t too! Imagine that.

“Politicians today rarely question social trends, even when all the evidence is they are having negative social consequences. John Howard was the rare exception, when he went into bat for a child's rights to a father in the debate over single mothers and IVF.”

Yes, but John Howard’s view was that if you don’t have a married mother and father with three perfect children born inside wedlock, then you deserve to be locked up and have the key thrown away. His views were prejudice and he appealed to the highest form of snobbery and ignorance installed in today’s society. Howard is one of the people that refuse to accept the fact that times are changing and shock horror, we don't live in a world where Jane Austen novels shape our lives.

In addition to this, we are talking about Julia Gillard, the Prime Minister that doesn’t believe in a ‘big Australia’. If she really is ‘influencing’ people in their choice to not get married and have children, as Ardnt claims, then it sounds Gillard could be on to something here.


It’s no secret that I really admire and have a lot of respect for Julia Gillard. I may or may not choose to get married and have children one day, but if I were to put this down to being influenced by Gillard’s situation, in no way would I believe this to be a ‘bad influence’. Bettina Arndt seems to be suggesting in a very non subtle way TIM MATHIESON, YOU MUST MARRY JULIA GILLARD AT THIS INSTANT BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T, THEN AUSTRALIA IS DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where do you stand? Are you influenced by Julia's decision to be in a defacto relationship or to have children? Do you think that she's a 'bad influence' on women?

The ABC is full of kooks

2 comments Tuesday, May 25, 2010

This is just bizarre. I frigging love the way the ABC works. So dysfunctional yet so fabulous.

ps, I heart Kerry O'Brien and Tony Jones. 

Reports last month revealed the Lego was made available to ABC staff to play with while they waited in the cafe queue at one of the broadcaster's Sydney offices.

The introduction of the Lego blocks was just one of numerous promotions around the country aimed at drawing ideas from staff to boost innovation at the ABC.

"I think the long-suffering taxpayer that funds the ABC might be interested to know what the cost was," Senator Abetz said.

"Plasticine might have been cheaper, I don't know, or finger painting."

Mr Scott was unable to say if the ABC had paid for the Lego or not, but he defended the initiative as a very important idea aimed at promoting innovation among ABC staff.

"We have innovation as part of the core values at the ABC," he said.

Senator Abetz said promoting a culture of innovation at the ABC was not in question.

"What is in question is the, if I might be polite and use the word bizarre, methodology, to provide building blocks, building Lego blocks, in the cafeteria for staff members to play with to enhance their creativity," he said.

Tell me, does your workplace have any 'unusual' concepts for productivity implemented in your office cafeteria?

Ricki Lee Coulter au naturale:


Most magazines say "These photos were not retouched", but then they pack about 40 layers of makeup onto the model.

50 points go to WHO Magazine for not using any makeup at all. 

Yes. I think I will be buying this issue.

Catherine Deveny sacked after Logies tweets.

5 comments Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Since Twitter really took off in the last few years, the Logie awards in Australia have always been an amusing event to watch whilst reading tweets sent out by people who are there or even just people watching at home.

Last year, comedians Wil Anderson, Dom Knight, Julian Morrow and Dave Hughes landed themselves in hot water after tweeting several "offensive" statements about the show, Gretel Killeen who was hosting, and various award winners.

This year was no exception. Wil Anderson got slammed again by the media as did Catherine Deveny. Catherine is primarily known for being a columnist for The Age in Melbourne and definitely doesn't water down her comments.

Tonight it was announced that she was sacked from The Age following what she wrote on Twitter on Logies night.

I think this is ridiculous. Sure, what she said may not be everyone's cup of tea but the beauty of Twitter is the two magical words 'Follow' and 'Unfollow'. If people don't like it, they don't have to read it. Everything is a choice and everyone that has been offended by these comments, it's their own fault for reading past the first one. She published these comments on Twitter, not in her Age column. Why should she lose her job over this? Hardly seems fair.

I think Catherine is great. Freedom of speech is lacking and she is making up for it. The world is full of precious morons who go looking for things to be offended by.

Long live Deveny!

Find her on Twitter here

Here's her "offensive" Logies tweets and then her defense as published in SMH online.


" Today, Deveny stood by her comment about the 11-year-old, saying she was using satire "to expose celebrity raunch culture and the sexual objectification of women, which is rife on the red carpet".
"It was just passing notes in class, but suddenly these notes are being projected into the sky and taken out of context," she said.
"This [the Bindi Irwin comment] was a ludicrous remark that was as ridiculous as me saying I hope the dog that Molly Meldrum brought with him got drunk." "


" "I meant every single word," Deveny said today.
"I love Rove. I worked for Rove for five years. I've publicly said and printed I would take a bullet for him. He endorsed my first book on the front cover.
"They looked really sweet. I do hope that Tasma doesn't die and I hope that Rove doesn't die ... I absolutely meant it." "






What do you guys think? Were you offended by any of Catherine's (or anyone else's) Logies tweets? Do you agree or disagree with the statement 'if you don't like it, don't read it'?

Pauline Hanson, I hate you.

2 comments Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Racist, xenophobe, right wing zealot and all round bad dancer Pauline Hanson has declared that she is selling her house before she moves to Britain. Only one condition. She won't have it sold to a Muslim. 

I'm not even going to do a full blog on her because she doesn't deserve anyone's time or attention, but I will say this... How about we all (plus about 200,000 other people) chuck in $15 each so we can buy her house and have it converted into an Islamic temple of worship, i.e. a mosque.

Sounds like a plan to me.

She's still Susie from the block.

I know it's been blogged about a million times over but I don't give a shit so I'm going to have a massive rant about Susan Boyle.


I really like her. I think her story is pretty amazing. I love the fact that after all this press, global attention and a multi million dollar album, she still catches the bus around town. 


If you are one of the few people who have not seen her first audition on Britain's Got Talent, watch it now.  It still gives me goosebumps. It's just amazing. 


It really annoys me when critics and reporters have a go at her for being "mentally unstable". Or when they punch out their horrible gossip columns because she threw a chair or something when she didn't win Britain's Got Talent. 


Everyone who says she's a psycho needs to think about her situation.


She's this almost 50 spinster who lives in a tiny village. She didn't have a huge amount of human interaction in her life besides going to church and down to the corner store. She was hyped up to win the television show. Launched into fame. Thrown into the spotlight. Of course anyone who has been talked up that much and has the whole world believing that they're going to win something is probably going to go a bit loopy when they don't actually win. Not only do they lose, but they lose to a bunch of kids who dance. That would hit hard. 


She's not used to fame and it will probably take some getting used to. She might not even totally adjust and continue to have 'diva' outbursts for the rest of her life. 


And anyway, look at Kevin Rudd. He's been in the public eye for awhile and he still throws tantrums when he doesn't have a hairdryer. 


What do you think about Su-Bo? Love or Hate her?

Psycho dog man, Ray Graham.. I love you.

This has got to be the funniest video in the world, delivered to you by the "current affairs" program ACA. This had to have been edited in as a joke or something. Surely the production staff at ACA aren't suprised that the whole country finds this hilarious.

Seriously, if you are having a crap day, week, month, year or life. This will make it all better.

I assure you that this is 100% real.
The only difference between this footage and the story that went to air is that this video has the insane dog impersonation looped three times and when it went to air on ACA, it wasn't looped.

No Kristov for Karl.

3 comments Monday, April 5, 2010

KARL Stefanovic has revealed he is under strict instructions not to repeat his on-air drunken antics after next month's Logies. The Today host was the talk of TV land last year when he sat down to host Today next to Lisa Wilkinson clearly the worse for wear from the awards night before.

He famously fronted up at 5.30am on little sleep and lots of vodka as the show went out live from the lobby of Melbourne's Crown Casino.

In a bid to avoid a repeat of his wild night out, Nine boss David Gyngell has insisted Stefanovic work as a red carpet reporter on the Logie night, keeping him away from all the free-flowing champagne.

"David Gyngell has put me on the red carpet with Leila McKinnon and Lisa this year so they'll be keeping an eye on me and my plan is to be in bed by a reasonable hour."


Ohh, I'm so disappointed about this decision! Karl was HILARIOUS last year when he was drunk on air. It was the best thing that's happened on the Today show to date. It was even funnier when Channel Nine attempted to use the excuse that he was really overtired and not drunk.

Hope everyone has a fabulous Easter break :)

I think that their set designer got a little bit too excited, or "eggcited" by the concept of Easter...

It's that time of year again, *drumroll*, for the TV Week Logie Awards.
If you're not from Australia, there's probably a 99.9% chance of you not having any idea of what the Logies are. Basically they are a sort of lame version of the Daytime Emmy awards.

I have a few complaints here. 

1. Why is Paul McDermott nominated for gold? All he does is read off an autocue. I've also heard from a reliable source that he doesn't write any of his own jokes on Good News Week either. I will admit though that I have a personal distaste for McDermott. I'll never forgive him for telling me that I looked like a hippie who'd just flown in from Nimbin. 

2. What happened to the awards (Most Outstanding/Most Popular) for comedy? They have vanished!

Who are your hot favourites? Who would you like to see take out the Gold? Any nominations that you think are complete bullshit?

Apparent UFO sighting in Sydney

3 comments Wednesday, March 24, 2010




Fiona Harrigan of Sydney is convinced that what she captured in these photographs is a UFO.

"As I was about to take the picture this black object appeared and then it started to move," she said. "It started off about 800m away but it came closer- to about 400m- and then two other little round things appeared from this bright orange light above."

"There was no noise. It was calm and peaceful but it was very weird."

The main UFO is said to have shot off above Governor Macquarie Drive at Chipping Norton, with the smaller UFOs flying away in the opposite direction.

~

Surely if there indeed was a UFO in the sky, other people would have also witnessed this. Sydney's a busy city. It'd truly be unbelievable if not one other person came forward and said that they too also saw the UFO. 

This is probably just Balloon Boy and his family up to their tricks again.

Who believes in UFO's? Who's a sceptic?

I heart Fiona O'Loughlin

6 comments Friday, March 19, 2010
Well the media seems to have moved from Lara Bingle & Michael Clarke to the latest "drama"- comedian Fiona O'Loughlin calling Bindi Irwin 'creepy' and 'a freakshow' on television program 'Spicks and Specks'. 



This is just another thing that the media needs to calm down about. Sure, Bindi is a child, but for goodness sake, if they didn't want her to get upset well then maybe they shouldn't have splashed it all over every headline. If the media didn't make a big deal out of it, the Irwin's probably would never have found out about it. 

Bindi is in the public eye. She is going to cop criticism every single day of her life. 
What Fiona said wasn't that bad, and I think she was pretty spot on with her impersonation. Bindi Irwin is a bizarre sort of child.




Bindi does carry on in such a manner that is way too over the top and this isn't her fault, but it's how she's been modelled for a life on television and in the public eye. What do her management and family expect? Of course people are going to point this out and make a joke out of it.

Also, this was aired on Wednesday night and the media only caught wind of it today, on Friday? It must be a slow news day.

And to all the media outlets that keep bringing up and comparing this The Eulogy Song that was performed on The Chaser's War on Everything in 2007- That was THREE years ago and it was awesome so shut up. 

Opinions? x

Dear Australian media, YOU SUCK.

8 comments Tuesday, March 16, 2010
I'm not even going to get into the politics of the Lara Bingle-Nude Photo-Brendan Fevola-Woman's Day-Michael Clarke-Engagement-Breakup-Stolen Car- story because it's been going on for too long and it would take about 4 years to go through it all. 

What I will say though, is that the media need to LET IT GO.

Leave Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke alone. 
Leave their families alone.


This is getting to the point of being absolutely ridiculous. The Australian media disgusts me right now. Lara Bingle's mother was outside Lara's apartment building, reduced to tears because reporters and camera crews were hounding her and she couldn't get inside. This was happening about 2 weeks after the story first broke out. Why do reporters even bother? They were asking her questions like "Is the relationship off for good?" What, do they think her mother is going to turn around and say "Yes, yes it is. Lara and Michael have decided to break up indefinitely. Would you like to come inside actually and have a coffee with Lara and I so we can tell you more information that doesn't concern you or the rest of the country?" 

I don't even care what Lara Bingle has done, sure, I don't agree with her selling her story to Woman's Day magazine and there's probably a few other things she could have done differently. This doesn't change the fact that a human being (one of which whom has not committed any heinous crime) should NEVER have their privacy invaded like this. This constant bombardment and harassment has got to stop. It's sickening.

Ultimately, I would blame the media for being the majority of the reason that Bingle & Clarke's engagement broke up. It's horrible and I think it's time that we all got on with our lives so they can do the same. 

Oh and by the way. Can we all just stop freaking out about the current location of Lara's $200,000 engagement ring?!

Chinese woman going under the knife to look like Jessica Alba

9 comments Monday, February 8, 2010

A Chinese woman is undergoing extensive plastic surgery to resemble the Hollywood star Jessica Alba. 


The 21 year old, known only as Xiaoqing says that she's doing this to win back her boyfriend whom she broke up with, because of his obsession with Alba. Now she wants him back. 


"When I broke up with my boyfriend, I was very sad," Xiaoqing said, "My friends...kept consoling me but it did not work, so they suggested I do plastic surgery to look like her [Alba]"




Jiang Shan, a representative from Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery Hospital said that he has spoken to Xiaoqing and advised her to think seriously about what she is doing. 


"If she wants to look much better than she does now, for example, if she wants her skin to look smoother and her overall facial facade to look more beautiful, I think we are able to help fulfil her wishes," Jiang said.


"But if she wants to totally look like Jessica Alba, I would think she is still not confident of herself and that she needs to solve this problem psychologically."


Speaking about her ex boyfriend, Xiaoging said, "I have never been able to let him go. If in the end he still does not accept me after I undergo the plastic surgeries. I will give up. I will then choose to let go, start afresh and live life by myself."


Xiaoqing told reporters that she would also speak to her mother while visiting home during the annual new year holiday before she makes her final decision.


"I'm not only doing it for my ex-boyfriend but more myself," she said. "I am a psychologically weak person. I want to do something to challenge myself and build a strong personality through it."


It has also been revealed that doctors at the Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery Hospital have made the offer to do the transformation for free in order to showcase their skills with the surgical knife.

I'm not really quite sure what my opinion of this is. I agree that it's we have the right to do whatever we want to our body, as it belongs to us, but this seems to take that to a whole new level. She can't be *that* desperate for a good doppelganger to put on Facebook, can she?!



Also, the fact that she is getting this procedure for free, I think, is a bad idea. Her having the knowledge that she will be saving thousands of dollars is more than likely just encouraging her to go ahead with it when she may regret it in the future. 


At the end of the day though, if these are the lengths someone has to go to in order to get a boyfriend back, I don't think he's really worth having! If he wants a girlfriend that looks like Jessica Alba, he might as well go and buy a blow up doll and stick a photo of Jessica on it's head. 


Thoughts?

Macquarie Bank employee so, so busted.

6 comments Wednesday, February 3, 2010

An employee at Macquarie Bank would be absolutely dying inside today after he was caught out on LIVE TELEVISION looking at near naked photographs of model Miranda Kerr. He was seen in the background of a live cross to Channel 7 news anchor Chris Bath.

His colleague Martin Lakos who was speaking to Bath, was totally oblivious to what was happening behind him. A representative from Channel 7 has confirmed that they have received phone calls from upset viewers but have passed matters on to Macquarie Bank.

"On behalf of our viewers we have expressed our concern to Macquarie. They have assured us they are taking the appropriate action," he said. 

Macquarie released a statement saying it "takes matters such as the unacceptable use of technology extremely seriously. Macquarie has strict policies in place surrounding the use of technology and the issue arising from today's live cross on Seven News is being dealt with internally."

Just for the "lolz" - Giant adult film stops traffic.

2 comments Sunday, January 17, 2010

AN enormous television screen showing a prnographic film caused a midnight traffic jam in central Moscow on Thursday as stunned motorists slammed on the brakes to gawk at the writhing naked bodies.

The owner of the advertising screen, which sits atop a main road about 2km south of the Kremlin, told the state-run RIA news agency that hackers had broken into the screen's computer system and turned on the prn.

"They were either acting out of hooliganism or were from a rival company," Viktor Laptev, commercial director of advertising firm Panno.ru, told RIA.

Ha ha. As the blog title suggests, I reposted this article because of it's absolute hilarity.


Imagine if this happened in Australia. People like Kevin Rudd would have had a field day telling the press how disgusted they were, when in reality, they probably secretly enjoyed it.

Sarah Palin- future television correspondent.

5 comments Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Surely when you read the title of this post, you thought as I did "What the fuck?"

But yes, unfortunately- Sarah Palin has signed on with Fox News as a political commentator and part time host.
I feel sorry for all the American people who have to be subjected to her every day.
But then again, if you think Fox News is good- you probably deserve to see her every day.

The announcement that she will be joining their current line up has spawned another one of Palin's "I don't have a brain" comments:

"I am thrilled to be joining the great talent and management team at Fox News. It's wonderful to be part of a place that so values fair and balanced news"

Idiot.

It's a universally known fact that Fox News shows extreme bias towards right wing politics. They're not exactly subtle about their conservative views. It's not even an exaggeration to say that Fox News is almost comic in political reporting style.

I'm sure Sarah Palin will just add to this surge of political bias.

If you're not familiar with the crap that Palin goes on about normally, here's a few quotes for entertainment purposes:

"You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."/I can see Russia from my house!

"They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan."

"There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women." (She misquoted former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, who said women should "help" other women.")

"All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." (Palin was asked what magazines and/or newspapers she reads regularly.)



Silly, Silly, Silly.
