Inseminators 09

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. inseminatorscuinseminatorsbuninseminatorswd

    This is an absolute worst.

    I’ll spare you the feminist analysis as it is patently obvious that a mysogynistic, bogan has been let loose with the marker pen.

    Any woman who would dash for cash just so a bunch of boozed up hill-billies can get a gander at some bouncing breasts needs to come and have a chat with Poor Lisa and myself.

    For shame!!!

        Not real clear what the connection is there.

        The Daily Mail breaks the shocking news that women sometimes sleep with men for reasons other than romantic… so they should be happy to have their foot put in a trap & get shot in the arse by a guy who votes for Wilson Tuckey after doing a dash for cash in a wet t shirt?

        You can’t argue with that logic shazza, I hope you read the scientific Daily Mail article and learned from it.

      I understand your point ladies however it is less the picture and more about the good night you have while attending these events. Have you ever gone to a BnS??? If not i find it had to beleive that you are judging this event based on this poster. Yes it is a little rude but hat is not what the night is about, it is about having a few with your mates and letting loose, de stressing and having FUN!

      OK…I am not a bogan. I’m an extremely intelligent young woman studying farm management at Muresk. I have big plans for my future, one being a top quality wiltshire stud breeder. I don’t dress like a slut, my hair isn’t blonde, and I don’t have big boobs. I have only ever been with one man. It just so happens that I’m about the only artist at Muresk and the prize was free entry to the B & S Ball.
      And to criticize you need to know what you’re talking about. A B & S is all about letting go and forgetting all the bullshit in life. There are yobbos there but I’m not one of them…and I think you’ll find that no woman go in the dash for cash.
      It’s easy to sit back and criticize…because you don’t understand. The event raised $200, 000 for charity. That’s having a go at a lot of people.

      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.

      And by the way David Cohen – were you being funny? (“Men are BEASTS!) Cause if you weren’t then I’m really confused. ^_^

      However it’s not a man thing, there are many women in attendance.

      How is that “country people know how to love life, and enjoy the moment, and have time for our families”, while simultaneously moaning about how hard ‘life on the land’ is, and how family relationships are failing?

      Buddy, beef is on the way out, buy yourself some lambs, plant some fuckin trees and stop your whining.

        I’d say life on the land is a bittersweet existence. You work hard at a demanding job but you also get to experience the beauty of the land, the true feeling of a close knit community and i think best of all… you develop some very strong mates through the most trying of times. I love the lifestyle and wouldn’t want to live any other life, even if it does mean hearing some rather offensive comments on this forum.

          The ignorance stems from those who assume we who choose to live in cities, no nothing of country life. That is bullshit – pun intended.

          Country folk do not have the monopoly on hard work, close knit communities, appreciation of beauty or friendship. But you sure as hell take the cake when it comes to complaining.

    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.

    If you cant laugh at yourself you have given the job to someone else.

    Fuck, I finally made it! What a thread, LA!

    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.

Exploiting stereotypes for humorous effect is what many of the commenters on this site do. Not just to ‘others’, but also to each other.

      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.
