[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 73622, member: 1991"] I guess - Johnny Knoxville with a political conscience, or perhaps a touch (more than a touch) of the Michael Moores). These guys are less into physical stunts and more into being politically outrageous to prove a point. Mind you, they will prove a point in any direction - they attack Opposition as much as they attack the Government. In last night's (repeated) show they were even satirising political demonstrators as not having a brain and simply demonstrating for the attention (they used the sign-holding premise from an old Bob Dylan video clip). They're the sort of blokes who'd go and interview a stingray to ask what they thought of Steve Irwin... but don't be fooled, they may be foolhardy idiots, but they are extremely intelligent idiots. difficult child 1 and his mates showed me a tape of Johnny Knoxville - I went to school with idiots like that, they were the ones who set rubbish bins on fire and always on clean-up duty in the school yard. But the Chaser boys - they were the ones who ran the school anarchic, underground newspaper and who kidnapped the most popular teacher for ransom as a charity fundraiser stunt. Today is the day APEC leaders get their silly outfits - there has been a lot of speculation about what Australia designs for APEC this year. We've been told it's slate blue, gold, olive green. Sounds like they got Ken Done to design some shirts. We'd all been hoping for Akubra hats. Some of us are wondering if they're also getting kangaroo ... change purses. Made from genuine kangaroo - I think the site will censor this. Lets just say the old man roo don't need this any more once he's been shot. It makes a lovely change purse with drawstring - no seams. Sydney tourist shops are full of these lovely items. A lot of the shops don't tell the tourists what they're made of, either, other than - kangaroo skin.
