Weekend Worstoff 35

Of course a couple more New Zealand worsts from my travels, but first, an extraordinary submission from Meccano in Melbourne. I just want to urinate into this.

ww35girafAnd I first thought this was connectedwith some kind of Christmas pageant in Wellington, but I now think it is a mobile drug dealing shack.

    the answer to the riddle:

    “what’s got four legs and a cunt halfway up its back?”

    used to be “a police horse”

    now we can answer “a large porcelain giraffe”

    Well, if it’s good enough for strippers, why not seahorses, TLA ?

    Alternatively, given that the fun police seem to have finally made it to Amsterdam, and what we’ve seen of signwriters’ spelling abilities, perhaps the madams have chosen to venture offshore.

    Now, I may have been drinking (and I have – just one bottle of the homebrew, but I can feel a kick) but is that lovely…. vase (or piss pot) not a visual representation of an image The West used to flog as a print, albeit from a different angle?

    This is going back a bit…. not Murry’s era, but the guy after him that used top like the BIG HEADLINES.

    (I really hope that’s not going to parse).

    I think we can blame Mr Pearl Necklace for Zits, and that much surely lead us to blame him for body modification on Perth.

    And have you noticed the lack of stories about Govt Schools banning Christmas this year ? Apart from an article by Robert Taylor which mentions this when citing the reason why LIberal Backbencher Peter Abetz stood for Parliament, not a single story, neither in The Worst, nor on 6PR (Though I haven’t been listening, these stories are usually on the news after Rattler runs with it.)

    But that was banned by a local vicar in the UK because of what he saw in Bethlehem.

    I’m talking about State Schools banning Santa because he scares the shit out of some kids, and it really exposes the hypocrisy of Stranger Danger and not accepting lollies from strangers, yet parents insist on putting their kids on the lap of a man wearing a red suit and ofering lollies etc.

    It seems the Perth Anti Net Filter Rally attracted the proverbial 3 men and a dog, and got very little media coverage, only Fairfax Radio News and The West online.

    This video illustrates how it is a dumb idea to hold a rally 2 weeks before Christmas.

    Thanks Frank for the linkage.
    Yes, the protest was hastily arranged but I think it was really only a toe in the water for the organisers. They have further plans. We’ll see what happens. Hopefully the plans for filter will disappear into the ether and there won’t be a need for further protest.

    BTW SMH/WA Today also covered it: http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/internet-censorship-wont-benefit-cyber-safety-protestors-say-20081214-6y3k.html
