"Election pamphlet for The Australian Sex Party.All legal mate" Then he says "It is all a lot of bullshit, they have a sign in Richmond. They want to legalize alcohol. They want people to be responsible for their own actions. Bloody rubbish". Screwed it up and I said "Ok, what ever you think . Your decision.Thanks for reading the literature"
I was talking to the candidate later tonight and telling her about it. I said don't worry about it Melissa. I doubt he has the intelligence to find the polling booth as they have changed.

Ha. :lol:

Lol. I actually wrote an article about that sign (I also took issue with it). So that guy may have had a point. ;)

Still, I like the Sex Party too much to complain. :)

You are going to have nothing left to complain about by the time you are 30.

Frankly, I'm sick of all these people complaining! Something should be done about it.

I think we need a "What made you cringe today" thread, but failing that... enjoy!

(Note to prospective political candidates trying to appear 'down with the kids'. Try to actually talk to someone under the age of 40 first. Reading books about 'Generation Y' by 40-something marketers doesn't count.)

For those not acquainted with British tabloids, insert The Daily Telegraph or Herald Sun for similar comic effect.

For those not acquainted with Fred Basset, I envy you.

I was possibly lucky not to get fined for jaywalking on Lygon Street the other day. Crossed just after the 'stop walking' sign stopped flashing (traffic light for cars going parallel was still green, though). As I made it to the other side, two police officers were staring at me. "RED MAN MATE" said the female officer in an absurdly high, bogan voice. "Oh... sorry," I said, sheepishly, and kept walking. I was already feeling kind of stressed about being late to uni, so I didn't find anything particularly funny about it... until I watched this again:
