Someone commented that I should get a shot of this poster seen up around Curtin. They got pulled down pretty quickly, but I managed to find one lodged in a cranny near the Tavern. You know, the artwork does have a kind of dumb charm. I have to say that I quite like it, despite its obvious ah, problems. I’m tempted to go not worst. I would class the events more as worsts, the burnout and wet tshirts comps, and the fact that the bar doesn’t open until 8 hours after the gates open.

Ha ha! Man you guys are really something you know?
It’s just a poster for an event someone like most of you who posted derogatory comments is never going to attend because you’re some prissy do-gooder still caught up in the feminist movement from the 70s. (You’ll probably go on to become born-again-christians and all will be right with the world.)
Geez, if you guys actually came from the country you’d get it. It’s just a poster which pokes a little fun. The artist herself intended it to be that way. And as someone that personally knows her, I can tell you that she’s not the kind of woman that’d take crap from any guy.
Like she says below, she’s a talented, extremely smart young girl who’s only ever had one boyfriend (and is still with him) and who likes to have a good time. It’s not uncommon for derogatory things to be said about woman in the country – in fact its a very common (and Australian!) thing. Look no further than most Aussie comic books or souvenir shops.
So anyway. The 2009 BnS is over for the year. Frankly, I dunno why you’re all having a cry about the poster for it now.

Once your argument is labelled as feminist you have to argue out of there and it’s much harder.

Hi all, it must be prettty obvious that none of you have actually been to a BnS before….. cos if you had you would know the nature of the event.
If you arent comfortable to step out of the box that conforms your narrow minds you wouldn’t know that the event is all about being able to laugh at yourself and let loose like you cant in the city with all the pretentious f#*>s that obviosly dont know how to enjoy themselves!!!
Yes the advert probably pushes the boundaries and I can see how it would offend some people but hey if you cant have a laugh at that and not take yourself so seriously then I feel sorry for you.
I’m looking forward to the BnS next weekend -being covered in food dye, rum and dust and cutting up in my ute and oh yes feel sorry for me cos I’m a redneck bogan who doesn’t know the finer things in life.

The behaviour is always the same prescriptive routine you allude to. Men rolling around in the mud together. Latent homosexuality anyone ? Are gays welcome there ?
However it’s not a man thing, there are many women in attendance. All patiently smiling and awaiting the attentions of one these men, whose family owns several thousand acres of real estate, sent them to the finest schools in Perth, where they proudly emerged free from any of the ravages of the finer things in life.

Also ya comment about the drought money, yes ok some people that didn’t need it took it … but i challenge you all to come and live a full year in the country on a large property with no feed for your stock, very limited water supply and a family relationship that is failing due to finances … You work out just how much water a crop needs to thrive or a cow can drink in a day and then times that by the amount planted, and the 365 days in a year … Yeah wake up and smell the roses people, it takes alot of water to raise just one cow … So you turn that into 25, 000 cows and there is fucking more than you can imagine … So watch ya bloody traps …
Also feel free to dig at me cause I am happy to represent the rural and agricultural aspect of Australia and I will fight for the little people … Alone we are a weak force, but together we are united …

What a stereotypical load of crap! its a poster for a fun & feral night, an event that raises money for charities and yes in the end it is a huge big party where randoms end up getting it on!!!
Event organisers provide condoms and alcohol – what do you expect? If a woman attends this event chances are she knows whats going on, there will be a bunch of randy men and a bunch of randy women, choices are the individuals, there is a strong security & police pressence so I doubt that anyone is treated in a manner they wish not to be treated.
You cant judge a book by its cover is the age old saying so why judge this event by its poster? advertising relies on creating a stir, taking things to the very edge, you are all dicsussing this and as a result all know about the event…
Do you guys actually attend BNS balls?
I do, and I am not the stereotype you seem to believe befits the bns attender…
I study Business at uni, I work for an accounting firm, I own an investment property and am paying off my own home – a small farm (argh shoot me Im a hillbilly!!!), I paint my nails, I wash & brush my hair & teeth (which i must say are my own), I wear heels and thongs and boots (obviously not at the same time) and jeans and skirts I do not wear checked shirts or own a gun or vote labor, I listen to country mucis but am looking forward to rocking it up at a Little Birdy concert – what is my scene??? (to rob a great Aussie band of their song). label me and put me where i belong…
To say that BNS goers are moleskin wearing ag students living off a trust fund is incorrect and a blatant mis-representation! how many people actually fit that mould?
I suggest you go to a ball and see the fun & feralness that goes on, see the country & city and the in-between crowds mix in together and enjoy themselves, see the benefits of the increased visitors to small towns, the local pub the friday night before, the pie shop the fuel stop and then the charities that receive the donations – they all benefit, whats the problem?? Sure some troubles errupt but great friendships are often made at these events.
Ive been to balls all over Australia, they represent a fun and wild behaviour which for many (myself included) it provides an opportunity to relax, and let loose without a care in the world or a worry about how people are looking at you and or thinking about you.
Why not accept that and applaud someone having the balls to show a bit of artisitic flair and maybe going too far or showing things how they are… The poster doesnt represent a human yes sexes are resembled but it is in jest.

I went to some BnS events many years ago, and saw some things I wish I could unsee. Four blokes mooned me and later had the temerity to question MY sexuality.
I think it’s a great idea that these community-based events are held in all these far-flung places, so that the locals can have whatever fun they like. As far away from us as possible. It’s kind of a shame they’ve started regulating the whole thing so much; the firearms ban is particularly hard to understand.
We urban dwellers should not begrudge the odd act of charity for our country cousins, deluded as they are into believing that they provide the food we eat. (How many sashimi farmers have we in WA? How many growers of macchiato-grade coffee beans?) We should support them.
We city-folk should even pay a BnS levy on our income tax, to keep a proud Aussie tradition rolling along. There should have been a BnS element to Rudd’s economic stimulus package. State of the Art BnSing facilities could have been built in shit hole towns all over Australia.
Because we city people need the country. We do. To remind us why it’s OK to be living in Perth.
And we need to look after country people. We need to help them become more contented with their country lives. It might stop them coming to a brasserie near you.

It is a satirical site that celebrates the best worsts of human behaviour and endeavour.
Many of your friends/countrymen and women who came to defend their B&S escapades have missed this point entirely, and have also made some sweeping generalisations about city people such as, all being office workers, narrowminded, ignorant, knowing nothing about farming or having a good time etc etc.

I think what pisses most of us city folk off, and what the country folk here have repeatedly demonstrated, is the sense of entitlement they have.
At the end of last year I closed my small business like hundreds of others did. I’m sure everyone here has known someone that has had to do the same during this downturn or any previous.
Did I bitch and moan constantly and expect the government and everyone else to foot the bill for my efforts when there was no longer any point in doing so? Nope.
I moved on to more profitable work and finished my degree instead. Some of these country people need to learn to do the same.
Farmers want to be involved in a business and for some reason they think they have an entitlement that allows them to be treated as if they weren’t one. But their business is no more important than hundreds of others that have closed over time. And no more important than the businesses are to other owners and other employees.
If it’s unsustainable, move on. It’s not your fault, don’t take it personally, it’s just too bad. Shit happens. It’s probably this inability to do so which leads to such high suicide rates. “Our crops aren’t growing… oh noes those city folks must hate me.”

People who expect the Government to hand out taxpayer funds so they can have their child – public hospital, stay home with child – baby bonus & parenting payments (FTA & B), educate their child – childcare (rebates) public education & most other education facilities receive govt. funding. They are no different to ‘farmers’ choosing to live on the land and ‘expecting’ assistance from the government in hard times??
Having said that re the farmers, I am in agreeance with KTFAB in saying that a whole lotta agricultural practice is unsustainable – so why keep flogging a dead horse? is it cos the government finds it easier to throw money into what is often (or certainly will end up a black hole) than to remedy the situation? Age pension & unemployment benefits are a mega drain on our country – why keep them? why allow bludgers & parents the ‘choice’ to be provided for when you want to take that choice away from hard working farmers who do actually contribute to the economy?
Why is there so many sets opf standards – if you are prepared to point the finger, be prepared for it to be pointed back at you.

I was in the UK during the last outbreak of foot and mouth, when the entire countryside was closed and the fields were full of burning cow carcases.
I am still not allowed to donate blood, because I lived in the UK ten years ago and might still be infected with CJD
there was a very serious debate at that time about what the countryside was for, since they spent more in subsidies than was generated by income, and being unable to go anywhere really pissed the townies off.
there was a genuine consideration that farmers should not be viewed as primary producers, but as guardians of the environment.
rather than give them subsidies to produce surplus food at inflated prices, they could be paid to look after the countryside, replant it, and return it to balance. There were some areas of the national parks where this happened, where older, gentler farming methods were reintroduced, and I recall walking through traditional pastures full of wildflowers.
of course, none of the commercial farmers was interested in this, and they just wanted to go on poisoning the rivers with phosphates, increasing the salination, tearing up the hedgerows, and breeding disease ridden insane cows.

I have just read every post on this thread and I am completely disgusted with some of the posts!
For something that started off about the Inseminators poster how you all managed to lower yourselves to abusing and ragging out people or kinds of people is beyond me.
Since people where asking, The organisations supported by the profits from this ball include :
Princess Margaret Hospital for Children
Royal Flying Doctor Service
Angel Flight
Royal Perth Hospital
St John’s Ambulance Northam
PCYC Muresk Students Association
I was appalled to see names mentioned in this thread, those of you who used them did you consider the repercusions? or if you would like it if someone plastered your name with insulting comments on a website titled “the worst of perth”
BNS balls always have a cartoon which is used to promote the event and yes most of them are derogative and have been carried over in themes for many years. I dont promote violence or molestation of women yet I find the poster amusing.
It sadens me to see that so many people are more interested in ragging out others then in keeping with what the thread was originally about.
And it really badly pisses me off that you have all contributed to such bad advertising for an event that raises so much money for needy charities which yes those who live in the city benefit from aswell.

A Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics (BTRE) publication, About Australia’s Regions, 2006, reported that domestic violence rates were highest in very remote Australia, followed by remote and outer regional localities. By contrast, major cities had the lowest rates of domestic violence.”
http://www.aph.gov.au/library/intguide/sp/Dom_violence.htm
disgusted, the major angst about this poster was that whilst it poked fun at a traditional event that i’m sure generations have experienced and enjoyed, it also uses a severely outdated standard of humour that is seen by many including me, as mind numbingly sexist.
whilst domestic violence appears to continue unabbated towards women within country (and suburban oz ) i find it difficult to laugh at a poster like this one.
the dollars raised are a positive outcome, but it now falls on our generation to discourage outdated and outmoded mindsets anywhere we see them. with such large groups of young people attending these events this is a great opportunity.

If there’s anything that can be drawn from this eternal battle between city folk and cuntry folk is that both sides are simultaneously correct and incorrect.
The bumpkins have continually failed to realise that this website is primarily satirical. It exists for the sole purpose to take the piss out of anything that is inherently ridiculous…. and that includes lame cartoon depictions of violence towards women.
Fact is, Bumpkins ( myself, I prefer the term hillbillies) are fair game to anyone with a sense of humour and a state funded education.
On the other hand, the citycentric folk…. often referred to as dickheads….. have constantly failed to understand the real reason behind B&S Balls.
They exist because they are fucking good fun!
And whats not to like? Plenty of alcohol, plenty of chicks, a place to stay and a sense of brother/sisterhood… sure the music won’t please everyone but at least you won’t have some gay cunt trying to pick up you up at closing time.
At the very least a B&S Ball is much more fun than staying at home on the computor giving shit to people who may very well had the time of their lives and that is better than any night at the fucking opera.

ive just had a good rad of this.
il just give you my background.
i grew up in the wheatbelt of WA
i have owned and driven utes most of my life
i have drunk copious amounts off piss.
i have a job within the livestock industry.
i have attended countless BnS balls.
i am 22, engaged, have a rahter large group of mates stretchign the whole of WA alot of which i only see at BnS balls.
now my 2c
these events are run to give back to the community and raise cash. alot of cash is raised. yes some cars etc get damaged. they are th cars that are purchased generally a few weeks before hand for under $200 and are destined to be burnt rolled and smashed. it happens. and its generally the owner of the vehicle that starts it.
yes theres a wet tshirt comp. why not? its perfectly ok to show it on tv but not be invloved?
dash for cash. any bloke or chick that wants to get their kit off and run a foot race over approx 100m to win $100. why not its not like people are pressured to do so.
burnouts. well yeah its a bit of fun. its not like you havtn ever seen done or participated in some way or form in doing a skid. or doing a donut. if you havnt then you obviously live a very sheltered life.
the fact that sexual intercourse may arrise? and sheez it doesnt when you go to a pub and meet a nice young girl?
just the fact that its infront of a ban in a tent. omg you havnt heard of spring in the valley? which is supposed to be a prim and proper event. i have seen more people passed out at that event than a BnS.
the reaason the flyers would have been seen around a university is that fact that some commitee member beleive it or not may be studyin to god frbisd maybe teach your children. so we going to screen teachers to make sure they are pure virgins that dont drink or smoke and drive toyota prius’s?
BnS balls are a way of life. a right of passage almost for the large majority of rural communities.
the fact the poster in question has a bunny with her foot in a trap with a gun piointed at her has no bearing on what happens. if it is then why are publications like the prosh aloud to be printed annually?
should we ban anything that may cause any form of stimulation. hell jsut ban tv. just chain everyone to desk’s and make them stamp blank pieces of paper.
im bettin over half the people that have commented here have never been to a ball let alone to a rural community.
theres a simple rule dont like it? dont look at it.
but dont worry our BnS baklls will be gone very soon as liquor licencing is becoming very ahrd to get due to people likeminded klike the majority of you who have never had “one too many” hipicrits.
i ask you do one thing no matter your age. attend a BnS ball and see what life is really all about.

I am 40 and my marital status is none of your business. My mates have, at times, stretched the whole of WA.

I didn’t do any burnouts but two of my friends commandeered the double decker hire bus and did burnouts in the paddock. That was hilarious and everyone laughed.
I did not get to have sexual intercourse mainly due to the fact that all my friends (good, clean living country folk) got in first and left me at the end of the night trying to save the poor bloke who was inside the upended porta-loo which was carried ritualistically through the BnFkinYeahS

“the picture isn’t depicting some kind of assault”. No? Looks to me like a female rabbit caught in a trap while being shot at. If being trapped and shot isn’t assault of some form then I’ll eat my akubra.

Once upon a time (before safety Nazis made everyone wear them) I wore an orange shirt to work in the moinse. Because I’d come from the East, it had a big reflecto V on the back. Which totally confused the moiners when I told them it was so the aliens could see from space where to put the probe. Perhaps that’s what the V is for.
Can’t believe this thread is still live, despite the brilliant Inseminator 2010 posters that should raise rurotard ire.

The rurtards are struggling to understand the how-to-vote card, and why the Nationals TV advert shows a lot of gold being sent from Canberra back into the tip tray of a mine truck.
Karen: “Why is Canberra subsidising miners again?”
Darren: “Is this the Baby bonus form, why are they available in two colours? Are these blokes the sperm donors?”
Karen: “Fuck I’m pissed hey, give us anudda Bundy and urine Dazza.”

there was a typical rurotard story on the news last night.
it started by saying that the drought in WA was so bad that farmers are selling off their livestock.
as the story unfolded it became clear that because of all the rain over east farmers over there were desperate for more stock and the price had gone up, and so WA farmers were cashing in and selling their stock to the eastern states. They were getting rid of stock during a drought but making top dollar in the process.
The story did not mention that the price of meat was going up in local shops, but did bleat about meat packers running out of work.

THEN the rurotard farmer union said they would be going to the government for assistance to start building up their sheep flocks after they’ve cashed in sending them east.
The hayseeds have been accommodated to a life of handout and entitlement and a gerrymandered electoral system that reinforces it.

Catching up with the latest yank-speak are we?

You’d probably be surprised to know that many of us have rather interesting lives of our own and some even originate in the bush.
