One of the “highlights” of Adelaide’s CBD are the bronze pigs on Rundle Mall (often the subject of late night, beer fuelled photos of people riding them). Some inspired person has seen fit to protect us (or them) from deadly swine flu:

This site is funny, in a slightly sickly-cutesy kind of way – an artist receives briefs from his toddler daughter who then critiques the results (read: gets angry and hurls abuse).

Continuing with the emerging theme of “totally repulsive things you should never actually eat”, Erin points to this masterpiece of high-energy, low nutrient food: various McDonalds products on a pizza.

The gun in the final picture is presumably there so you can finish yourself off rather than waiting another 10-15 years for the effects of the [...]

Thanks to Sam, our roving feline news correspondent and long-suffering cat owner/victim:

Bush family cat dies (possibly of shame); Bush’s nickname for cat is “Kitty”.
Cats commence takeover of worldwide news media with German putsch; weatherman demonstrates excellent comprehension of cat psychology.

Following on from our former PM’s recent comments in the media (Costello is “all tip and no iceberg” and the PM is a “desiccated coconut“), a friend points to this great site, which contains an archive of some of the best of Paul Keating’s insults to the Liberals, his colleagues in the Labor Party, the [...]

News.com.au reports on Canberra politician Steve Pratt, who managed to spend several hours destroying a commissioned mural in a stunt about reducing graffiti. The MP described the work as an
obnoxious piece of vivid graffiti vandalism
and proceeded to painstakingly scrub it off the wall on which it was painted.
Unfortunately for the well-named Pratt, it [...]
