No kidding please, we’re Australian…

No kidding please, we’re Australian… published on

Oh dear, the Land of Oz is turning into Old Blighty. As many already know, the UK has some ridiculously strict defamation laws, and if this recent case is anything to go by Australia is going down the same slippery slope.

A couple of years ago a well known comedian called Mick Molloy made a joke about some thin-skinned woman cheating on her husband. That’s all it was, a joke put out there by a man who nobody in their right mind takes seriously. Yet the woman,  failed Labor politician Nicole Cornes, has just won an $85,000 lawsuit against Molloy and the TV station that broadcast the alleged defamation.

What this means is that in Australia, unless you have a corporation backing you, you had better not say anything negative about anyone who can afford a good lawyer, no matter how obvious it would be to a reasonable person that you weren’t being serious. This seems to me bad news for Australian political bloggers as well as for the independent press, who would easily be ruined by such a settlement. It’s also bad news for the lower strata of society, since as we have seen time and again, the mainstream media cares little for anyone other than the rich, the powerful, and a few fashionable causes amongst which neither the poor nor homeless are to be found.

A caveat to American bloggers – an Australian called Joe Gutnick once successfully sued an American publication for defaming him, but he did so under the stricter Australian laws. You heard me. Gutnick sued a bunch of  Americans not under their country’s law, but under ours. Why did he succeed? Because the allegations may have been made by Americans writing in America, but they did so on a website, which means he was being defamed in Australia whenever someone viewed the offending site. At least that was the excuse. And Gutnick’s target  wasn’t some small fish either, it was Dow Jones, so keep in mind that you are less liable to our fascist laws, but by no means immune.

Crazy Slut Named Most Influential Weirdo

Crazy Slut Named Most Influential Weirdo published on

The US continues its descent into madness with the shock announcement that the ironically yet aptly named (think about it) Lady Gaga has become the world’s most powerful celebrity!

According to Forbes, little Stefani Germanotta is now the idiot most often listened to by all the other idiots. In a display of the American woman’s complete and utter oppression, the current idiot attained her position by knocking another bewombed moron – queen of daytime blither Oprah Winfrey – out of the top spot.

Given that Gaga’s case of feminist rabies has yet to progress to the point where she becomes totally and irredeemably loathsome this may be good news for men, if only in the short term. We must remember that Gaga is only 25 years old and that feminists are like buckets of horse urine left standing in the sun – the older they get the worse they smell.

Inside

Inside published on

Western culture has an unfortunate tendency to over-represent male evil while under-representing its  female equivalent, and being a horror fan i notice this a lot in said genre.

The best example I can think of is that despite 18-33% of America’s serial killers being women, no iconic female serial killer has emerged in the genre. Males we’ve got, whether reality based ones like Hannibal Lecter and Leather-face, or fantasy based ones like Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Kruger, Pinhead etc.

The one exception to this man-hating Western habit of sweeping female  darkness under the rug  seems to be, curiously enough, the  French. Apparently many French film makers are aware that “La Difference” isn’t quite as rose colored as the feminists would like the world to believe, and they aren’t shy about letting us know it.

From the adulterous wife in the drama “Unne Femme Francaise” to the cabal of liars, adulterers and murderers  in the musical comedy “8 Women”, contemporary French cinema showcases a refreshing amount of unpleasant women, and the horror genre is no exception.

From “High Tension” to “Martyrs”, the French GynoBeast gets to see far more daylight than her Anglo sisters, and the Crème De La Crème (sorry) of all French “Evil Woman” movies is without a doubt Julien Maury  and Alexandre Bustillo’s unforgettable debut feature “Inside”.

This blood-splattered, gut-strewn horrorfest stars Beatrice Dalle (of Betty Blue) as a mysterious creature referred to only as “The Woman”, a GynoBeast who is mad as a weasel, scary as hell, and who makes The Terminator look like the the Easter Bunny. The Gallic psycho-woman decides that she wants another woman’s unborn child and as we all know there is only one way to get that, and by the time “The Woman” carries out the DIY C-section she’s slaughtered over half a dozen people and left the house looking like it’s been decorated by Jeffrey Dahmer.

The plot is simple – evil woman is in the house trying to get to pregnant woman, other characters drop in and are soon swimming in blood. But plot is not what “Inside” is about. “Inside” is about high-impact horror, it’s about finding yourself trapped inside a phone booth with everything that is dark and deadly in women and realizing that nothing short of a rocket launcher is going to stop her from splattering your innards all over the stairs.

If you want an antidote to the usual  “Evil Male” movies check out this rare garlicky treat, but only if you  have the stomach of a cast iron elephant – you have been warned.

Is Donald Duck a Sexual Harasser ?

Is Donald Duck a Sexual Harasser ? published on

Is no one safe from the hysteria surrounding sexual harassment? What has the world come to when an innocent duck can’t go about his day’s work without being accused of groping some hysterical cow?

Yes folks, in the most surprising allegations of sexual harassment since Homer Simpson was almost lynched by that young feminist and her friends, Disney icon Donald Duck (that’s him in the photo, looking down the poor bitch’s cleavage) stands accused of groping a human female, something which in this case strikes me as akin to bestiality.

It is alleged that the foul fowl grabbed the breast of one April Magolon, who claims to be so devastated by the tragic event that she now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder! As a result, Magolon supposedly has to endure nightmares in which she is goosed by a duck, and has developed an inability to take her dog for a walk in any park which has a duck pond!

One would think that given the slight nature of the alleged slight and the capacious size of  Disney’s coffers the suit would be dismissed as mere money grubbing. But instead it’s going to court, where I not only hope that Donald and his employers win but that they get their court costs paid by the accuser. PTSD from being groped by a duck? Not bloody likely!

As you have probably divined by now, I find the allegations difficult to accept. After all, what possible sexual interest could a duck have in a human female? If Mr Duck had been accused of surreptitiously fondling Daisy or making homoerotic advances towards Daffy  (it would certainly explain that sailor suit)  I might give this some credence – as it is I think this will soon be thrown into the same BS basket as the case of  Anita Hill vs Elmer Fudd.
