The idea of travelling 1000k’s for a burger doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. I lived in Mt Isa for a while (outback mining town in Queensland) and they didn’t have a Hungry’s. First thing I did when I got to Brissie was buy a whopper.

I don’t get why people think these sort of pranks are funny to begin with- cruelty is not funny. I’m quite happy to call everyone who thinks it is an absolute shithead of a person.

I don’t get the whole anti-swearing thing. Of course, this might be because I’m Australian, and those stereotypes about us swearing a lot? All true.

I found my first grey shortly after I turned 23. I’m now almost 28, and I’ve got enough that I have to constantly keep up with the dyeing of the roots. Curse you premature grey gene!

That’s what Party Feet are for

So... 3 white Aussie dudes in drag and a big silver bus is out then?

Honestly, as far as Aussie journos go, Tara Brown is one of the softer ones. Virginia Trioli, Leigh Sales and Sarah Ferguson can make the hardest spin doctor cry. I’m so glad that, while we have followed the US in regards to sensationalised news, our reporters are still pretty decent journalists, especially given the…

I like it- just tastes like salted caramel covered in chocolate. You can just barely taste the vegemite if you squint and think about it real hard.

I’m thinking that “something worse” might have been the age of the youngest victim- which they themselves let out of the bag with their request.

I’m fairly sure I read somewhere that us perverts are actually among the most well-adjusted people... yah for pervs!

So glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that...

If only that were enough to guarantee that politicians who do so would never be able to lead a country. Unfortunately, that’s not the case- Australian PM Tony Abbott has in the past defended a child molester.

And if they don’t forgive him, they are bitter. And being bitter is a sin, y’know.

I was nine when I was raped by a 14yo, after being molested by him for over a year. The apologists using his age as an excuse is really cutting deep. Fuck him, Fuck his parents, fuck his church elders, fuck everybody who supports this horrible ducking show, and double-fuck anyone who uses his age as an excuse. Fuck em…

There was *one* actual authority... a cop who gave him “a stern talking to”. Of course, said cop is now serving 50+ years for child pornography charges, so I reckon that stern talking to was more about not getting caught, than how wrong it was.

That damaged animal belongs in an actual rescue facility, not in someone’s house as a bloody pet.

Just the mention of the movie incited a rewatch- so thanks for that!

Lee Lin Chin is the most awesome person ever. Did you see her tweet about which Home and Away boys were most likely to put out? She brings her own style to the news too.

Does this mean she can be fixed with a vibrator?

Average life expectancy skews younger because of the high infant mortality rate. If you only take those that survived their 5th birthday, life expectancy would be up around the 45-50 year mark. Certainly not as good as today’s, but much better than 25.
