This is just rubbing salt in my already gaping wounds … As The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Tuesday, extraordinary new powers will allow police to arrest and fine people for ‘causing annoyance’ to World Youth Day participants and permit strip searches at hundreds of Sydney sites.
According to critics, the laws, already in effect, have the potential to make a crime of wearing a t-shirt with a message on it, undertaking a Chaser-esque stunt, handing condoms out at protests, or even playing music.
People who fail to comply will be subject to a $5500 fine.
Well that’s just great! Icing on the fucking cake. As I have said before, considering the utterly horrifying (and utterly dangerous) policies the Pope and the Vatican pedal – cue ‘abstinence only’ and absolute gay intolerance – it’s a wonder the entire institution isn’t hauled before a criminal court and charged with being complicit to murder, let alone be the subject of a state-sanctioned, publicly-funded festival.
I strongly believe the government is committing a human rights violation by allowing the festival to take place in the first place. We should be ashamed. What ever happened to the separation of church and state? But it goes further than that now. And look at that banner. ‘Everyone‘s welcome’? Are they kidding? Is this all a big practical joke?
PS – I suppose there’ll be more beats to choose from though … Just head straight for the confessional booths.
CAUGHT WITH HIS PANTS DOWN
As The Sydney Morning Herald reported last week, after being arrested for drug possession when found unconscious in a Sydney harbourside park, Dancing with the Stars judge Todd McKenny allegedly told police he had literally been caught with his pants down at a party by someone who had planted the drugs.
It appears the ‘pants down defence’ is contained in a statement by McKenny to Kings Cross police and is expected to be used in his pending court hearing in which he has pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing GHB.
For those of you blissfully aware of this hilariously ham-fisted defence, McKenny apparently told police that he had been to a party at an apartment in Macleay Street in Potts Point and had danced so much that he began to overheat, and had taken his pants off to continue dancing. And of course, while enjoying the cooling effects of stuffy apartment air on his newly liberated pins, someone planted the GHB in his trousers.
Yeah, as a herd of pigs flew across the room! Come on! Is anybody actually swallowing this?
WASTING AWAY
San Diego-based Pastor Jim Garlow will make a 40-day fast leading up to election day in order to rally evangelical attention to the anti-gay marriage ballot measure. Apparently the effort will also include 100 days of prayer.
With any luck he’ll waste away altogether. And I hope he’s praying for forgiveness – because he’s going straight to hell.
PS – Sorry for that awful turn of phrase, but it was Tommy’s funeral yesterday, followed by the obligatory drunken wake, so I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed today.
PARDON?
I just found this. Earlier in the year, Joe from Joe. My. God. posted the ten worst things guys have ever said to him. I thought I’d share them with you, because I had a chuckle. Note: these are all verbatim emails.
1. Hey dud! Put that in the sexy place.
2. I am sloppy wide open bottom. You will never get to the bottom of my cunt.
3. Tonight, I’m feeling VERY ranchy. How ‘bout u?
4. I hope you’re into barebaking, cuz I’d love for you to bread me.
5. Can you get into rapping me? I love rap scenes. I will leave the door open. Bring something sharp.
6. Can’t you host? I can’t, cuz I’m small and somewhat spaced.
7. I am *completely* uninhabited.
8. Are you interested in a gang-bag? I would love for you and your hot friends to gang-bag me because I am a sloppy wide open bottom. (Number 8 might have been the same guy from #2.)
9. Do you love man-smells like I do? I hope so because I haven’t had a shower in 5 days.
And the worst thing ever said to me online, from just yesterday:
10. You are the hottest guy I’ve seen on this site EVER. I would do anything you want me to. P.S. I LOVE OLD MEN!
I love poking fun at the shallow end of the gene pool.
