Yeah, but it's Australia.
Everyone knows you're dead the moment you go into the water.

Dude, that's the reason they're called "Lifesavers." Because the hole in the middle lets the air still get through if they get lodged in your throat.

Dude, we get in the water to get away from the shiat that can kill you on land.

I wonder if that chubster knows that her ginormous ass is the first thing all of FARK sees when they click the link?

Here are some pics of lifeguards that are definitely NSW. (pops!)

For the past few weeks I haven't been able to access any Fairfax sites. I just get nothing. Anyone know why? Or just want to paste in the story?

/don't forget the pics
//please

Quite a garbled article, no conclusions drawn, maybe need to read again but can't be bothered. Sad picture, noticably huge arse does take away the poetic element.

Sounds like BS finger-pointing to me. "Well, if you'd called US, *WE* could have saved them!" Wouldn't have anything to do with their, you know, "job" doing something that other people do for free....

It was certainly the first thing I saw.

Wow, it really *is* ironic!

 
Noirceuil 2009-01-11 10:58:53 AM  
I hope they'll have time after grieving to help that poor beached whale.

Thread over, we have a Weiner!

Lifesavers cost four lives? So which is the lucky flavour that doesn't kill you?

Truly the king of the Lifesavers.

Oh, and it kind of sounds like the professionals wouldn't have been able to help anyway since their system has so many numbers that nobody knows who to call.

I hadn't thought of that.
Gads, no wonder that continent is so sparsely populated.

If they brought back lime and got rid of watermelon, this never would have happened!

Damn you for me not reading closely. Let me guess: that was intentional (and therefore accurate) and it stands for "New South Wales".
