I see from a link that The Worst of Perth will be reading material for a Latrobe University journalism unit, (see week 12)
DILEMMAS IN JOURNALISM: LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES, taught by ex JJJ man Lawrie Zion.
The link has been removed for some reason.
The post with “6PR’s Barra, Fat Wog Cunt” would be the one to [...]

Superb worst from Ljuke. Ljuke says…
Backstory: I have been using the Oats Street train station every week day for about three years now and I can’t remember a time in which this used franger wasn’t sitting in the sand just outside. Recently it disappeared and I felt a little sad, thinking that some council worker [...]

From the magazine for crackpots, Nova, comes this ad. Meditate as deeply (in fact more deeply) than a Zen monk? Despite some careful breathing and chanting, Zen monks were mightily pissed off at this ad, seeing that some of them had wasted up to 70 years honing their meditation skills. It’s a wonder the monks [...]

Was quite a good worst week this week, possibly highlighted by Skink’s amusing stoush with Howard “Riddance” Sattler on the Fairfax blog, with the moderator deleting both Skink AND Sattler at one stage. The post on The Fairfax Online experience will soon be the most read and most commented on in TWOP history, even more [...]

The Worst of Perth Television
A quite bizarre game of shooting birds I found in a shop in Highgate. The spring guns are so powerful that if you are not a huge distance away, they will knock the whole thing to the floor. You need to be so far away you can hardly see the birds. [...]

Some may remember complaints from a previous commenter (who sadly left these pages in high dudgeon) that Young White Lesbians get every art grant these days. I asked for volunteers to take up the attractive Young White Lesbian blog registry. Finally someone has taken up his cudgel and started to blog with it. Johnny Scrotum [...]

A guest worst from Victoria. An extraordinary sign. A woman with a bikini floats above celery. From the lens of Golden1. Thanks mate. More local, but separated in time are these shots of an excellent bookfrom 1971 I found. Perth, City of light by Ivan O’Riley. Amazing slice of life and dreams of [...]

It was the incarnation of blind and insensate Greed. It was a monster devouring with a thousand mouths, trampling with a thousand hoofs; it was the Great Butcher–it was the spirit of Capitalism made flesh.
Upton Sinclair
Well if The West online can have West TV (Gawd save us) Then The Worst of Perth needs to match [...]

A shot of me being funny at the comedy debate at The Charles Hotel and the rest of the entertainers. Thanks to the Conservation Council.
I had forgotten what a delightfully dingy old hole The Charles was. Although the front bars have been tarted up, which when I used to go there often, still had the [...]

“If you drink, don’t drive. Don’t even putt.”
Dean Martin
Again, I’m not sure what to say. I’m glad that the salt and vinegar might have put a bit of a lining on at least one stomach. I’m more of a barbeque flavour man myself. What is that barbeque flavour? It’s the taste of taste itself. [...]
