Top Gear Ayrton Senna Tribute

This was shown this week on the UK edition of Top Gear. Apparently Bernie Ecclestone has decreed that the F1 footage shown in here is never to be broadcast again. Just watching the Senna footage just reminds me of how great F1 was when I was a kid and how crap things are today in [...]

Ali and His Gang Vs. Mr. Tooth Decay

Wow, there really was a lot of crap around in the 70s. Who’d a thunk that kids would want to listen to a record of Muhammad Ali, Frank Sinatra and Howard Cosell talking about dental hygiene?

Twitter

Going through my Twitter feed tonight I noticed that @JuliaGillard posts stuff that is almost as empty as any politician’s promise and rhetoric. For example I came across this post… @JuliaGillard If we give support to Australians to make the changes that are necessary, then I am confident that we can move forward together. #ausvotes [...]

More Stupid Comments

I have been trawling thought the 3AW website and some of the opinions of their listeners and some of their presenters, is even worse than the Herald Sun’s. Of course when you think of hard-hitting political and current affairs you think of this guy… Apparently John Michael (oooohhhhh aaaaaahhhhh) Howson is upset about Muslim women [...]

OMG

I just received an email to say that Julia Gillard was following my Twitter feed. I think it’s just a courtesy thing because I have started following her page though. I am also following Tony Abbott’s twitter feed but he obviously cannot be bothered returning the favour, so naturally enough I did the only sensible [...]

Asylum Seeker Debate

The other day Julia Gillard said that she welcomed the asylum seeker debate and that people who were against asylum seekers weren’t necessarily rednecks. I beg to differ as I have read some of the comments posted on the Herald Sun website about this issue. The most surprising thing (well maybe not) is that the [...]

Can’t Wait ‘Til It’s Over

The election was called just three days ago and already I’m bored. Neither Gillard or Abbott has shown any real leadership and I doubt that by the time the election is over either will. Both are just going to tell voters what they want to hear regardless of whether it’s the truth or not because [...]

Masterchef

Just a brief question but are the judges of Masterchef the biggest tossers in Australia? I admit I don’t watch the show so I cannot comment on what they are like from that, but whenever I see photographs published of them they just all look so… stupid. Then there was those clip which Channel 10 [...]

Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali

In November DC Comics are releasing a hardcover reprint of the legendary 1978 SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI comic book. I do have an old, beat up copy of that book that I purchased from Ebay about a decade ago but I will probably get the new version as well. Now if only DC would re-release [...]

Warner Bros. Jungle Habitat

I don’t know much about Warner Bros. Jungle Habitat but… the idea of a theme park/zoo featuring the Looney Tunes gang seems great until you see the picture below. Honestly those costumes are horrible, especially the Porky (I guess) and Wile E. Coyote ones. No wonder this park never survived like Disneyland did.
