nudes in the news


Queensland's new Premier, Anna Bligh, is concerned that the Gold Coast's international reputation (sic) is being ruined. Apparently, some spectators at recent Indy car racing events were drunk and/or bare breasted. Ms Bligh finds this disgusting and lewd.

"The annual event at the weekend was marred by drunks stumbling around Surfers Paradise, topless and nude women cavorting on balconies in full view of other spectators, and prostitutes on balconies holding up signs advertising sex."

As the Government cannot control private parties, "all we can really do is appeal to people to behave sensibly".

That ought to work.

Try putting "gold coast" & "schoolies" into YouTube and you'll get a fair idea.

"they won't bow down so easily!"


Actually, the problem seems to have been that they were going down a bit too easily.

That's ok, Congress is doing a study of crowd crisis control and sending teams to study crowds at various public events. Some idiot functionary prepared a "to-do" sheet for one of the teams which included advice to get shots for rubella, whooping cough, tetanus and hepatitis.

Their destination?

A NASCAR race in South Carolina.

malach: That's right. We'd rather lie down.

hereTgoneT: Tiresome and small-minded. They are life-limiters.

joey: it's time for another Rum Rebellion.

colonel: Oh we're very easy over here. Easy-going, that is. You won't need all those inoculations. Come and be infected by our culture.

It seems to me that the Gold Coast's international reputation would only be confirmed by such shenanigans.

But I like Anna Bligh's solution, and further, I call on that as a solution to Global problems: Everyone! Just behave sensibly!

Sensible people rarely ever make sense to me.

But that her name is Bligh! Oh my my my. What she must spy. With that baleful eye. It just makes me sigh.

anaglyph: Why are people so unkind?

phoebe fay: She's the premier of a state whose capital is commonly known as BrisVegas. In what way was she thinking the words "classy" and "cultured"?
