So…what exactly is an electronically tested condom?

Like most guys when buying condoms at the supermarket I don’t really spend a lot of time reading the boxes. Infact this is probably the quickest way to wind up with a tap on the shoulder from security. It’s a little known fact but the second you enter that condom zone and start perusing someone [...]

One cyclist breaks bicycle laws, all cyclists bad

Let’s face it, it doesn’t take much to raise the ire of the Australian public when it comes to cyclists. Despite tougher laws against cyclists, the fact that realistically we’re looking at one bad cyclist article every 3-4 months or so and that every second day there’s a slew of bad motorist articles in every [...]

Polaris Media distributors still misleading Australia

Since Liberty League changed over to Polaris Media Group there has been much talk and insistence by Polaris supporters that Polaris is now truly about the retail products and building a retail business for yourself. Gone are the days of promised incomes, building a sales pyramid and luring people into the business opportunity with misleading [...]

Does anybody in Australia even know what a Creole is?

So I was walking down the biscuit aisle the other day… ‘Hey jewboy, can you do me a favour?’ ‘uh..what?’ ‘See those nigger tv snack teddies, I want you to throw a bag on the ground and stomp em. STOMP EM!’ ‘you’re not serious…?’ ‘ey dun listen to those gookface pocky, what you wan’t to [...]

Aussie charities lose 95% of donations to marketing

I have a really hard time with those charity kiosks you see out and about. I understand they are there for completely different reasons but I can’t help but group them into the same category as those godawful American Express guys that haunt Flinders Street station. (I haven’t been to Flinders Street station in a [...]

Coles’ selfserve checkouts are the stupidest idea ever

Some supermarket innovations have definitely made a positive impact on the shopping experience. Electronic conveyor belts meant customers didn’t have to waste time moving their groceries forward and instead could perve on women or read magazines while they waited to be served. Coin operated trolleys meant that people had a financial incentive to bring them [...]

How to remove a bicycle chain from a bike

Removing a chain from a bicycle seems like one of those mystical things that doesn’t make any sense until someone shows you how. I remember when I got my first bicycle toolkit and saw the chain breaker for the first time I thought to myself, ‘what on earth is that thing for?’ Like most maintenance [...]

Polaris Media Group publicly linked to Scientology

Since I started blogging about Polaris Media Group, one of the more unbelievable claims I’ve heard has been that Polaris is simply a front for Scientology. Some of my readers have claimed the allegations have been flatly denied by Polaris executives and others claim that Krider and co. don’t attempt to hide their Scientology links [...]

Fat Acceptance: How fat is too fat?

Followers of fat acceptance preach that it’s ok to be overweight. They believe that it’s not unhealthy to be overweight but rather that’s the way people are and everybody else should just accept, embrace and celebrate it. Not only does this line of thinking discourage fat people to actually do anything about their weight, other [...]

What the hell is Volley Warehouse?

Over the last few days I’ve noticed ads for Volley Warehouse appearing on various news sites I frequent. As much as I hate those god awful annoying animated ‘Hey Hey This is Queensland’ ads, the Volley Warehouse ads suckered me and I wound up clicking to see what they were about. Turns out it’s a [...]
