It was the first anniversary of the apology to the Stolen Generations. Though since then, nothing really practical has changed for indigenous people. (shrug / look guilty) …Sorry!
It was the first anniversary of the apology to the Stolen Generations. I’m so glad everyone’s living in peace, harmony and equality now. / I’m so glad that whole “indigenous problem” has been solved. Phew.
Maybe we should make Sorry Day an annual event, where we apologise for the last twelve months of not doing anything for indigenous people.

Over on some other station at I forget what time, “Underbelly 2” got two and a half million viewers, making Matthew Newton’s arse the most-watched buttocks in Australian television history. So to compete, tonight Good News Week brings you ArseCam! (extreme close-up of Paul’s rear) Just hit the “Angle” button on your remote and you can switch to the point-of-view of the arse of whoever’s talking.
I’m not surprised Underbelly 2 got such huge ratings figures. I mean, it wasn’t like there was anything else on worth watching…
Of course last week, not to put too fine a point on it, we got trounced. But this week, we’re fighting back strong! Firstly, we’ve got Matthew Newton’s arse! (show Newton’s arse – OR show Bert’s face) Go on, call your Underbelly watching friends, get em to turn over!
Matthew Newton’s arse became the most-watched buttocks in Australian television history. He’s made Bert very proud.
Matthew Newton’s arse became the most-watched buttocks in Australian television history. Funny thing is, the only difference between Matthew Newton’s arse and Bert Newton’s face is that cheesy grin. I’m just not sure how he makes his arse do that.
Network Ten have asked that we counter the hard-arse angle of Underbelly. So don’t change the channel or the kitten gets it.
The surprising thing is, from what I’ve heard, Matthew Newton managed to keep the “violence” completely separate from the “domestic”.
“Underbelly 2” did 2.5 million. Clearly, we all wish we were criminals. No wonder illegal downloads are so popular – we can feel like we’re bad bad gangsters. “Take that, system!”
It’s difficult for us to compete. We don’t have Matthew Newton’s arse. And Mikey’s arse… doesn’t pull in the viewers like it used to. Gravitationally.
If you people need to be titillated with sex, violence and drug-dealers, we’ll show you backstage.
One viewer labelled it “porn for people who can’t use the Internet.” Unless you’ve already watched it on the Internet.
One viewer labelled it “porn for people who can’t use the Internet.” Looks like brown paper bags are now finally technologically obsolete.
One viewer labelled it “porn for people who can’t use the Internet.” Well, don’t know about you, but I like my porn with less murder.
One viewer labelled it “porn for people who can’t use the Internet.” However, I’d say that any porn that has that much murder is actually a snuff film.
One viewer labelled it “porn for people who can’t use the Internet.” So that’s grannies and dogs then. Although some dogs are pretty smart.
One viewer labelled it “porn for people who can’t use the Internet.” Well, not really. Where were the midgets and donkeys?

In Iraq, the Foreign Minister announced he was keen to start issuing licenses to any foreign airline who wants to fly into his country’s airports. You can tell the airports, they’re the big flat bits that look like they’ve been bombed.

At a technology conference in California, Microsoft mega-nerd Bill Gates released a jar of mosquitoes into the audience to make a point about malaria prevention. Next he plans to release a virus.
At a technology conference in California, Microsoft mega-nerd Bill Gates released a jar of mosquitoes into the audience to make a point about malaria prevention. He then released a box of spiders to open a discussion about the web, a cageful of tigers to illustrate a point about dental hygiene, and a grizzly bear, just for the hell of it.
Gates said, “There’s no reason only poor people should have the experience.” Because poor people are always having keynote speakers release mosquitos at their technology conferences.
Gates said, “There’s no reason only poor people should have the experience.” He feels the same way about slow internet connections, spam, and malfunctioning software.
Gates said, “There’s no reason only poor people should have the experience.” Which is exactly the same reason he makes the really expensive Microsoft software just as crappy as the stuff you can copy for free.

He assured the nervous crowd that the mozzies were not carrying malaria. Though most still updated their anti-virus.
He also pelted the crowd with tins of spam.
It has intensified speculation that the new version of Windows is full of bugs.
It’s the first occasion that Gates has released bugs without an attached operating system.
He initially intended to release a swarm of bugs, but decided to leave that to his software.
He then laughed evilly, raised his cape and vanished.
Finally Gates has found something to do now he’s taken a step back from Microsoft: become an evil villain! Mosquitor! / Malarior!
He wanted the members of the crowd to experience malaria first-hand, but then said that the released mosquitos weren’t malarial. It’s a bit like showing how stable your operating system is by having it crash at the launch. Which was actually last year’s talk.
He reassured the crowds that the mosquitos weren’t carrying malaria. The malaria is in the air conditioning. / He released that in aerosol form.

In a radical shift from the last 8 years of America’s wacky foreign policy, the Obama administration started making overtures to Russia & cautiously reached out to Iran. What next, striving for peace, equality, and freedom? / Next thing you know, he’ll be telling Osama he’ll be given a fair trial if he just hands himself in. Madness! / McCain was right – he clearly is a terrorist after all. / He clearly is a Muslim communist homo pinko terrorist after all. / Looks like Obama’s a baddie after all.

In a radical shift from the last 8 years of America’s wacky foreign policy, the Obama administration started making overtures to Russia & cautiously reached out to Iran. They’ve also decided that bin Laden’s not really all THAT bad.
Vice President Joe Biden said, “It’s time to press the reset button & revisit the many areas where we can & should be working together with Russia.” Well, better to press the reset button than the one Bush wanted to press. / than that other big red one.

In Zimbabwe, new Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai appealed to the West to fund the rebuilding of his devastated country. Like he appealed to the West to intervene when Mugabe was trashing the place in 2000. When’s he going to get it? The West only cares what happens to you if you’ve got lots of OIL.
In Zimbabwe, new Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai appealed to the West to fund the rebuilding of his devastated country. Because somehow the government’s run out of money.

Those who’d rather give money are invited to send donations to a bank account controlled by the party – of 50,000 U.S. dollars, or in Zimbabwe dollars, 6 million billion gazillion.
Zanu-PF members warned businesses life would be difficult for them if they didn’t contribute. That’s right – if Mugabe doesn’t get his birthday feast, he’s going to eat them.

Canberra hosted the Australia-China human rights dialogue, without a hint of irony. / and tried to keep a straight face.
The 2 days of talks provide a rare opportunity to raise human rights at a senior level with the Chinese government. The Chinese government then takes those concerns and carefully files them in the official shredder. / and just laughs and laughs and laughs.
