OMG: Australian public still hate parking inspectors

Parking inspectors… those dorks you see walking up and down the streets wearing a uniforms they appear to have held onto from their primary school days, complete with broad brimmed hats. In a seemingly never ending battle against the clock, every day the general public battle these ‘to the second’ gatekeepers of our time. For [...]

Co-Worker dupes hot nurse into sending sexy photos

I don’t know if the men of Australia are getting smarter or the women stupider but we’ve had two cases in two days of men succesfully duping women show up in the media. The first case I wrote about yesterday involved a gentlemen from the Northern Territory faking testicular cancer. He scored points for ingenuity [...]

How to tell if a prosthetic testicle is real or not

For thousands of years now women have been trapping men in relationships with the ‘but I’m pregnant’ line. Arguably less effective today now that we live in an age of McAbortion drive-thru clinics and the fact that moral responsibility has long since gone out the window, the trap is still however alive and kicking. Men [...]

The Future of Advertising: Still as annoying as ever!

It’s been about about six years since I stopped watching commercial television with any sort of regularity. Along with unpredictable schedules, the random dropping of shows and shows sometimes not even making it onto our networks, television advertising was an important factor in this choice. To me there’s nothing that ruins watching a television show [...]

Australia’s “mistress laws”: Payouts for whores

Regardless of the reason however, after passing [...]

ACCC goes after Australian dating website scammers

Much in the same vein as lottery scams, where you receive emails advising you you’ve won international lottery draws you never entered, the dating scam email is usually features some unbelievable good looking woman [...]

Dead email: What have you got to hide?

Email for me has always primarily been a non-personal communication tool. Much like phone calls, it’s rare that I find myself at the keyboard writing out an email unless there’s a specific purpose. Yes, I’m one of those people that silently rolls their eyes when I answer the phone and hear the dreaded words ‘so [...]

Lynx deodorant fails to cover up that Indian smell

I think every Australian has a story to tell about that Indian smell. ‘so I did one of those breathaliser things and realised I was too drunk to drive. I got into the taxi and OMG!’ ‘we were standing in line at the supermarket when this family came up behind us… we just had to [...]

Unanswered Questions: Scientology and Edward McBride

When news of Edward McBride’s death was reported back in early September, I immediately became suspicious after reading that Scientology was involved. Although initially fingers were being pointed at the army, I had a hunch there was more to this story than a simple case of bullying. The question mark over whether or not members [...]
