Assorted bits and pieces
Following his brain explosion a few weeks ago, police have charged him by summons today.
2. Cartoon violence and outrage by Moslems
I see Tim Blair gets a guernsey in today’s SMH over publishing the cartoons on his blog. Does it ever occur to the clowns carrying on with all the outrage that their behaviour over this just serves to reinforce the views that were being represented in the cartoons?
3. Craig Gower
Confirmation that he is indeed a big sook!
4. Superbowl
Pittsburgh beat Seattle 21-10, if you care. I used to quite like American Football when Don Lane used to host a highlights show on the ABC, but lost interest over the last several years.
Apparently the half time entertainment included the above, lingerie models in a mock Superbowl. And so paranoid was American TV about avoiding a repeat of the Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction” that they censored a couple of the Rolling Stones songs. I love the delicacy with which the offending words were described in the story:
- “You, you make a dead man cum” - was edited from “Start Me Up”, described as “a reference to a woman’s sexual sway over a dead man”
- ” Once upon a time I was your little rooster, But am I just one of your cocks” - described as a synonym for rooster.
Amazing, some of those American sensibilities! Its alright for every nutcase who wants to own as many guns of whatever calibre and type they like, despite the shocking record of gun violence, but too delicate to hear a rude word, or double entendre.
5. Cricket
Australia won again. Who cares? South Africa are simply a class or two below Australia, and still mentally fragile whenever they play against us. Sri Lanka only have a chance when Sanath Jayasuriya scores big - its not quite one out, all out, but in effect its not far off that.
