What made me laugh today...

Post by **David** » Tue Nov 19, 2013 11:42 am

My primary goal with my weekly blog over on Catalyst was provocation. It might have generated a little more discussion had it been run on a more popular platform, but, sadly, student media doesn't tend to have massive reach on campus let alone beyond it.

Some of my fellow bloggers were a little more successful, however. The rather excellently named Samantha Winnicki wrote a tongue-in-cheek feminist critique of children's series Winx Club, and, following a repost on a tween blog, the comments section (relatively speaking) exploded:

http://www.rmitcatalyst.com/i-dont-beli ... winx-club/

Anyway, what made me laugh today was the latest outraged comment:

Michelle wrote:What the ****! Your just saying this stuff because you hate winx club! This stuff is destroying every little girls dreams! You made half of this stuff up and your a damn BITCH THAT WATCHES PORN! So keep your thoughts to yourself you SLUT!

Knowing this was almost certainly written by a 13-year-old girl makes it even funnier. Who are these people?

Walking down a street in Thailand on a narrow footpath and incoming Russians are heading towards. One lad, of maybe 17-18 with an uncanny resemblance to Pugsley Adamms has his head turned talking and also looking at his phone. So rather than walk in front of a bus I shirtfronted him and he he ended on his arse. Had I have stopped he had momentum. "Did you not see him". "Did I have to worry about him not looking". OK. Stan magro would have quite rightly elbowed him into the traffic.

they are terrible tourists whose manners resemble those of Milne at a Schoolgirls fete.

Got the newsletter from the local RSL today, membership renewal time.

They had a piece on Aussie Bush Etiquette, and some reminders which I found quite good.

Some of the better ones"

Never take an open stubby to a job interview
Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting them
It's tacky to take an esky to church
If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets
Even if you're certain your included in the will, it's rude to take your ute and trailer top the funeral
Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, eben if your guns loaded and the roo's in your rifle sights
When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar has right of way
Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape as a tow rope
when sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too
Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners
extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.

The 2nd last one stinks, but the rest are good!

OK. I didn't know Chatroullette was still around. But, this is hilarious. Split screen of people watching a bloke doing a version of Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball. OMG.

Sorry for another Tony Abbott post, but this is hilarious.

Shame we don't have any Socrateses in Parliament House*

*Scott Ludlam's Socrates-esque grilling of Bob Carr in the Senate gets a pass mark.
