The Sideshow Ep 19: monologue material

A controversial Christian leader, who advocates the destruction of mosques, casinos and bottle shops, says God told him to spend “personal time” with John Howard. Hopefully God wants to add Howard to the pile of mosques, casinos and bottleshops…

God needed “personal time” to speak with Howard through Pastor Danny Nalliah – after all, he can’t be everywhere at once!

Catch the Fire ministries leader Danny Nalliah has said he was instructed to meet with John Howard and Peter Costello… by God. You see, God finds it entertaining when he can make leaders meet loonies.

God reckons if he can get the Liberal leaders to talk to all the loony Christian leaders they’re bound to lose.

He also wants to “prophetically prepare” Peter Costello to be Prime Minister. Apparently Costello’s gunna have to build an Ark.

A controversial Christian leader, who advocates the destruction of mosques, casinos and bottle shops, says God told him to spend “personal time” with John Howard. I wonder if it’s like the “personal time” God tells priests to spend with altar boys…

Pastor Danny Nalliah did actually get to have one-to-one meetings with Howard and Costello in August. But I’m sure they do that for every guy who’s been told to see them by voices in his head.

Apparently the Lord has decided John Howard will win the election. Makes it kinda silly that we still have to vote, then.

Apparently the Lord has already decided John Howard will win the election, so we don’t actually need to have one any more. The Government is now going to spend their election budget on public stonings.

God is apparently very impressed that John Howard asked Australia to pray for rain, but not quite as impressed that he asked Australia to vote Liberal.

God is preparing Costello to be PM. He’s giving him a tracksuit.

God says Howard can only be Prime Minister if he sacrifices his first-born treasurer…

Pastor Danny Nalliah also told fellow Christians he supports the Coalition because the ALP permits abortion and homosexuality. Can’t he see that if everyone was gay, there’d be no abortion? And if everyone was aborted, there’d be no homosexuality!

God also had a message to pass on to Howard: “See you soon.”

God’s definitely hoping for a Coalition win. He’s sick of waiting around for the Apocalypse to “just happen”.

Nalliah advocates the destruction of mosques, casinos and bottle shops. That way he can piss off everyone.

Nalliah is trying to get the Coalition to agree to his policy of destroying mosques, casinos and bottle shops. So far, they’ve only agreed to destroy them in the Middle East.

Nalliah says he’s justified in supporting the Coalition because the ALP supports abortion & homosexuality, whereas the Liberals just support illegal genocidal war and massive corruption.

It’s so obviously a dodgy religion though – everyone knows that if you catch the fire, you’re going to burn.

Princes William and Harry are considering changing the law to crack down on paparazzi pursuits after Wills and Kate Middleton were chased home after leaving a nightclub. But it was an honest mistake – the paparazzi were just trying to buy drugs.

Why not just flip the bird at paparazzi? They’re called digital cameras for a reason…

Avoiding paparazzi can be as simple as wearing a camera and slipping into the crowd.

One good way to thwart the paparazzi is to crash your limo into a tunnel, killing everyone on board. That’ll stop em!

Or you could just reneg your princedom.

My feeling is, if you don’t want paparazzi, don’t be third in line to the throne.

Of course, the best way to defeat the paparazzi is to get the Queen to kill them.

The best way to defeat the paparazzi is to dress like someone they have no interest in. Like Osama.

The best way to defeat the paparazzi is to dress like someone they’re scared of, like Russell Crowe.

You could hire look-alikes to lure the paparazzi out into the open, and then when they’re distracted, drop a piano on them.

But if Prince William really wants to turn the paparazzi off, he should dump Kate Middleton and go out with someone really fugly.

You could always pass the paparazzi off to me. Anything for a bit of publicity! Come on, snappers, destroy my life for a change!

Family groups are outraged that girls as young as 7 are learning to pole dance. Well that’s completely inappropriate. Apart from anything else, those poles can be covered in boy germs.

The poles are excellent for building strength and flexibility, and the nipple tassles are good for getting extra playlunch money.

Family groups are outraged that girls as young as 7 are learning to pole dance. There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, many families are now relying on the extra income.

Of course, being 7 years old means you save so much money on Brazilians. / waxing.

Of course, being 7 years old means you only get a fiver slipped into your g-string. But you do save a fortune only snorting baby-lines of coke.

Of course, being a seven-year-old pole-dancer means your clients can only pay you in mixed lollies.

It’s a good way for young girls to earn a bit of extra pocket money. Well, G-string money anyway.

As well as being great for strength and flexibility, poledancing is also perfect for lowering your expectations.

But girls should practice pole-dancing: under WorkChoices, it may be the only job they’ll be able to get.

Of course, pole-dancing as a kid doesn’t mean you’re going to end up a stripper – you might end up a dancing fireman.

Kids say that it’s fine pole-dancing. They just wanna be like their heroes the Pole-dancing Bratz and Crackwhore Barbie.

Newcastle University Professor of psychiatry Louise Newman said young girls’ minds are being corrupted by such sexualisation. “There are other ways girls can exercise,” she says. Like washing cars in a bikini.

Of course, they’re not calling it “poledancing”, they’re calling it “pole fitness”. Also, instead of stripper, they prefer the term “underclothes technician” / “clothes removal specialist”.

Of course, the company says their pole-dancing classes aren’t slutty at all. It’s those skanky little kids.

The girls learn moves from gymnastics, martial arts and the circus, set to music. Gary Glitter’s actually offered to play live. And nude.

A spokeswoman for the Australian Family Association said the classes were inappropriate. “Why choose a pole, the classic phallic symbol of the pornographic world?” Good point. Why don’t they swing themselves around, say, a giant wombat?

A spokeswoman for the Australian Family Association said the classes were inappropriate. “Why choose a pole, the classic phallic symbol of the pornographic world?” Now maybe it’s just the way mind works, but I always thought the classic phallic symbol of the pornographic world was the cock.

Fitness centres are using poles for strengthening & flexibility exercises in teens & pre-teens. And it’s great for getting boys to give you their playlunch.

All this fuss is ridiculous. Pole-dancing is just as innocent as jelly-wrestling and handjobs.

Family groups are trying to get the ALP to take a policy to the election about young girls pole-dancing. Trouble is, Kevin Rudd keeps forgetting the details.
