This is Aussieland. Stand up, grab a Foster's, walk over to him and belt him across the face with the top of the can, then toss the spewing remains on his sprawling unconscious body and say loud enough for the microphones "WHO"S WALTZING MATILDA WITH YOU NOW, BIATCH?"

/Foster's sucks

I must again, applaud someone for saying how they really felt, in public, and even went so far as to put motion to his feelings.

No doubt, he was mearly expressing what MANY already felt. Good for him.

I'll have to remember this if I ever run for city council.

This is the guy who made the suggestion. He looks like he just walked off the set of a 70s kung fu flick, and is an eccentric. I like him already.

You'd think she should be able to take it in good humor. But maybe she's too old and repressed to see the fun in it.

I'd have seconded it and asked for two. :p

Huh, this reminds me of when I was a freshman in high school, the eighth graders at one of the middle schools took a collection and gave their teacher a vibrator at the end of the year as a good bye and chill the fark out present. The kid who got suspended for it was even more hilarious, since his gf tended to tell loud stories about how she broke his dick, but it wasn't her fault because everything in his room, including the remote control, was covered in lube. His initials were BMW. I hope that kid has a good job now. He was the source of a lot of hilarity. Not quite on Capt. Hook level, but I'm kind of rambling and should go to bed.

Reminds me of a good joke...

A rich guy and a poor guy are having drinks. The rich guys says, "For Christmas I bought my wife a diamond ring and a new Mercedes."

Poor guy says, "Why the ring AND the car? Seems like one or the other would have been enough."

Rich guy replies, "That way, if she doesn't like the ring she can go take it back to the jeweler in her new Mercedes and she'll still be happy. What did you give your wife?"

Poor guy: "I gave my wife a pair of slippers and a dildo."

Rich guy asks, "Slippers and a dildo? Why on earth...?"

Poor guy says, "Yeah, I figure if she doesn't like the slippers she can go fu*k herself."

Condescending and sexist. Would anyone ever buy a man a fleshlight or an anal plug and tell him to go f*ck himself? No.

The gesture in itself isn't really classy, but that's not my issue; it's that it's supposedly acceptable to dismiss women this way, and women only (at least in this thread. But since when are Farkers ever good feminists?)

Equality means recommending men get the same treatment. If this occurs there should be a comparable example of a foulmouthed lady politician offering a p-spot stimulator and a complimentary bottle of lube to one of her superiors so he can f*ck himself in the ass instead of her constituents. But I haven't heard of that example yet.

I'm not necessarily against a crude sexualization of politics - but most women are. And when it's one sided and directed only against women, that sexism is part of what contributes to lower percentage of women in politics.

bobbette: Condescending and sexist. Would anyone ever buy a man a fleshlight or an anal plug and tell him to go f*ck himself? No.

Now, I know several people who probably wouldn't shell out for a fleshlight (have you priced those things lately?) but they'd definitely buy an embarassing sex toy to shame someone or make a point.

Have you priced a good vibrator lately? At least double the price of a fleshlight. I'm talking a decent vibrator, not some piece of crap that will probably leak acid on your clit. I could spend a grand in a sex toy store in 15 minutes.

But anyway, I stand by my point that there's an unequal standard here, and even if you know people who WOULD do this, female politicians don't.

If any woman was smart or quick-witted enough to think of it first, maybe they would. But they aren't, and they didn't. Suck it!

If this occurs there should be a comparable example

WTF!?! Are you serious? Sexism is okay if it is instantly reciprocated? Quick!! Tell me men are stupid and I should suck it!! Then my comments will be okay!

I could spend a grand in a sex toy store in 15 minutes.

Yeah, and you reckon the sexes are, or should be, equal?

LOL!!

No, we just had the former Vice President of the United States telling a senior Senator to "Go f*ck [himself]" on the floor of the Senate. Does that count?

Somehow I don't really miss the Bush Administration ...

No. Queensland is the Florida of Australia. They even call their capital city "BrisVegas" for some goddamned ridiculous reason.

//Tasmania is our (insert state famed for inbreeding, mass genocide of indigenous population, intolerance of homesexuals, and mass extinctions of wildlife).

I usually see mainlanders stereotyping us as inbred unwashed Bob Brown loving tree-huggers, not inbred homophobes. That one is new to me.

The inbreeding is actually true enough; some of the small country towns here remind me of Innsmouth. The gene pool runs thin down here.

But while there's a very conservative Bible belt in Tasmania, and lots of conservative retirees and country folk, it's also a stronghold of the Greens and the hippy backpacker state. On top of that, conservatives in Tasmania are only as homophobic as conservatives everywhere else in the country.

I'm pretty sure Family First polls highest in Queensland, I haven't fact-checked that though

 
r1nce 2009-03-20 04:24:34 AM  
Manny Calavera

You're probably correct that the Fundies First poll highest in Queensland. Thankfully I don't live there. I'm a Mexican to the rest of the country.

This may need a citation, but wasn't it illegal to be homosexual in Tasmania up until recently?

/Goddamn Family First holding everyone over a barrel in the Senate.

Manny Calavera: I usually see mainlanders stereotyping us as inbred unwashed Bob Brown loving tree-huggers, not inbred homophobes. That one is new to me.

Tasmania had a law on the books making homosexual acts illegal until 1997. A law that the UN ruled contravened human rights treaties. It took Federal override, and a high court action, to invalidate it.

Probably not your fault personally. But your state deserves that reputation.
