Rudd ‘slip-up’ creates a ‘shit storm’ | smh.com.au.
So after reading this story I’m confused; it’s OK to quote someone (PM or mere mortal) using an expletive in print/online. But on live TV that’s a no no?
For fuck’s sake! The world’s going to hell in a hand basket and ‘shit storm’ hits the fan! It’s probably the most honest thing a politician has ever said.
In the same edition of the SMH, channel 10 canned a pole dancing troupe from appearing on ‘Australia’s Got (Dubious) Talent’ even after long consultation with the troupe over costuming, performance and music. One can only wonder how many times the producers and rest of the male crew had the girls audition before they came to their ridiculous ultra conservative decision. And I bet not one of them handed over so much as a fiver for the privilege.
The skill and stamina involved in pole dancing rivals that of Olympic athletes. I’m glad the girls aren’t on AGT – they are far better than any of their B-grade, wanna be, street performing competitors. I think pole dancing should be in the Olympics as part of the gymnastics.
