I’m all about helping third world countries develop and progress up the modernity tree but a few stories about Africa recently have left me scratching my head.
Two of the stories broke in the last 24 hours alone!
The first story from Mozambique involved two young guys, a goat and the goats owner. Yeah you know where [...]
Whether you agree or disagree (or partially agree) with Geert Wilders, it’s hard not to acknowledge his controversial methodology for making headlines.
Operating on the slippery slope between free speech and hate speech whilst I don’t agree with everything Wilders has ever said I do appreciate the man for speaking his mind.
These days it’s not easy [...]
Last week an Indian newspaper ran a cartoon suggesting that the Victorian Police were members of the Klu Klux Klan.
The motivation behind the cartoon was that the police were taking so long to investigate assaults against Indian students in Melbourne’s west. Because the police hadn’t caught the whiteys responsible thirty seconds after the assaults occurred, [...]
Just days after the Australian arm of KFC was accused of being racially insensitive in a market the content was never intended to be aired in, an Indian newspaper has pushed the race boundaries between Australia and India.
On one hand there’s the annoyance over US basket case political correctness dictating what is and isn’t appropriate [...]
Learning that season 9 of Scrubs was going to go ahead was disappointing enough.
Then came my introduction to the new characters and the realisation that JD was leaving and the utter annoyingness that is this idiot Cole character.
…things weren’t looking good but I began to see some season story arcs developing and remained tuned in. [...]
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 more [...]
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 leave our [...]
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 then [...]
When Michael Jackson died back in June I felt like I’d lost one of my biggest childhood heroes. Hell I even dragged my arse out of bed at 2am on a weeknight to go and see the memorial played live from Federation Square.
While the sense of loss might have dulled, quietly I’ve been anticipating the [...]
Since they were first published, men’s magazines have served one purpose and one purpose only: To get guys, (and confused women), off.
Editors fluff the photos with articles nobody reads jam packed with poetic license and written by guys writing what they think other guys want to hear.
You know, on the off chance one of their [...]
