South Australia: The New Tassie

When I started this blog it was basically to just pass commentary on some of the happenings around the world that I found to be highly amusing. And in that regard there is always plenty of material. Just last week I read a headline in the newspaper that said "charges laid in wombat rape case". I was very tempted to blog about this but then, what more could I add? It is already screwed up enough without adding my own screwed up perspective. With that in mind, you might then wonder why I am choosing to end my long blog hiatus with the story about the South Australian man who has had a daughter with his, er daughter.

Yes you read that correctly. A South Australian man fathered a daughter with his daughter. The story was on 60 minutes on Sunday night. Apparently they were estranged for many years, and when they reconcilled they over shot the mark some what and ended up having sex. Now they are in a loving and consentual relationship. Oh, I guess this makes it alright then. NOT!!!!!!!

I may be a little bit extreme in some of my views but I am pretty freaking sure I am well and truly in the main stream when it comes to incest. Hell, I even find it weird changing my childrens nappies (hence I try and let my wife do most of that). I mean, if his daughter (the original one, not the unholy second coming of Satan one) was say Jennifer Hawkins, you might (and that is a big if), have some small level of understanding. But she isn't even remotely good looking. Ultimately there is no conclusion to be drawn other than they are some seriously sick individuals with some serious issues.

Now, this story is pretty sad and disgusting, and in itself, would fit perfectly the kind of crazy event that I like to comment on, but in itself it wasn't enough to compel me to write. No, todays blog was brought about by this story combined with one of lifes funny little coincidences. The coincidences I am referring to are badly timed advertising slogans. When SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) first struck Hong Kong they had just unveiled a multi million dollar campaign with the slogan "Hong Kong: It Will Take Your Breath away!". When Electrolux first started selling vacuum cleaners in the US they ran with the slogan "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux". General Motors couldn't work out why their GM Nova wasn't selling very well in Central and South America ("No Va" in spanish means "it doesn't go").

And this brings me to today. Upon reading the article about the freaks having kids with thier kids I thought to myself "What the bloody hell is going on in South Australia?" One way to find out - check the South Australian tourism commissions website. And here is what I found:

SOUTH AUSTRALIA: A UNIQUE BLEND

Yes, people having sex with their children to create new hybrid grand/chldren, that is indeed a unique blend. Now I thought this was hilarious this morning when I discovered it, but man, these guys move fast. This afternoon when I wrote this blog entry they had already changed it to

SOUTH AUSTRALIA: A BRILLAINT BLEND

Unfortunately, this just isn't as funny. So I decided to do some research and discovered that metrosexuals are buying female clothes to give them a more androgynous look. Yep, apparently straight blokes wanting to look like chicks. People shagging wombats, men wanting to look like women, global warming, incest. I am seriously never going to run out of topics.

Take it easy
