Tim Blair

I can't wait until Michael Moore and Bob Brown team up to do an expose' on the poor families of Beslam, and how the 400 koala's from bob brown would have helped them.

"Thunderbirds are GO!!!!"

Cant'wait to see this. How many movie references are in this little beauty. My son has picked the puppets and Goldmember so far.

He wants to see this with his school class, just like he saw Moore's crap fillum (sorry, crockumentary).

"It's a crime if we don't see this" he said.

tim blair- who the fuck are you but another idiotneocon, tinged with national socialism, any fool who thinks the ABC is biased to the extent you continually claim, has been influenced by Joseph Goebbels & and his famous school of right wing propaganda.
Never thought of taking modern history as a subject, before you persist on claiming to know any thing about politics, timmy????
And another thing , like so many Australians, albeit not the gullible many, I gleefully await the slow but sure demise of 'the leader', Howard will go the way of Reagan, Thatcher & many another repulsive & lying leaders from the far right, unless of course he does the honourable thing & tops himself . Beforehand, best result all round I think, sincerely,
Arch Kennedy

Back the wrong horse on the weekend did we archibald?

Arch Kennedy seems like a real dick, but I don't know having never met him. Have you ever noticed how International Socialists are blind to the fact that Hitler was a Socialist and that Germany's being a Socialist state is what gave him the power necessary to unfurl his epic evil? Fuckwits every one.

On topic, I saw the sneak preview of this flick Saturday night here deep in the American interior and it was hilarious, but it was also the most vulgar movie I've seen since Meet the Feebles and that was NC-17. Though it wasn't as awful or as vulgar as Meet the Feebles, so if you've seen that and are still having vomit inducing nightmares about it don't worry, Team America won't make you want to tear your eyeballs out like the Peter Jackson atrocity. And you will leave with a smile on your face and a song in your heart..."I'm so ronery, poor rittle me."

Arch Kennedy, you may say that but we all know that you secretly long for a cold hearted right wing government to lower taxes, brutalise criminals and rule you like a king...

...thought of taking modern history as a subject...

What the hell is modern history?

It was a typo; he meant post-modern history, of course.

Of course to Archie Arsehole, anyone to the right
of Adams,Lenin and Stalin is "far right".

Fuck off, before I get one of little Johnny's
death squads to visit in the dead of night and
whisk you off to the nearest gulag.

Howard will go the way of Reagan, Thatcher & many another repulsive & lying leaders from the far right

And on that subject...I could be wrong, but weren't both Reagan and Thatcher pretty much at the top of their careers when they left office? Their parties sure managed to continue right where they left off (Bush the elder, John Major). If Howard and the Coalition are going the same way, presumably with Costello, then yay!

(In other words, do you even have clue one of what you're talking about?)

PW, you obviously didn't take Post-structuralist history, as our friend Mr. Kennedy has.

arch kennedy recommends achieving successful people take university courses

yeah, like post-modernist jacques derrida was of any use to anyone

arch kennedy is a derrideadhead

post-modernism?

post-fuck yourself, leftie loser

who the fuck are you but another idiotneocon, tinged with national socialism [nazism]

But, but, isn't neoconservatism some sort of Jewish plot?

/sarc

Fear not, Archie - my organization, Ganjaweed International, will come to the rescue. For a price, of course.

Our proud motto??

HAVE CAMEL, WILL TRAMMEL

"Howard will go the way of Reagan, Thatcher & many another repulsive & lying leaders from the far right"....

...On to glory and the vindication of history, then.

In an hour when the blinkered, buttock-brained enemies of freedom howl their idiot imprecations at the very ideals of decency and honor, what a joy it is to have this victory for the people of Australia, and what a joy to read the anguished teeth-gnashings of these marginalized losers.

Such a considerate opposition, to make victory so savory.

Hehehe "'the leader'", why the inverted comma's? He is the prime minister remember? Prime Minister, John Howard =)

Don't dis Meet the Feebles -- that's Arch Kennedy's favorite movie!

Having seen the whole movie at Saturday's sneak preview, lemme just fill in the detail: Moore's got hot dogs in both hands and mustard all over his face and shirt. Parker & Stone are my heroes.

>Having seen the whole movie at Saturday's sneak preview, lemme just fill in the detail: Moore's got hot dogs in both hands and mustard all over his face and shirt. Parker & Stone are my heroes

Parker and Stone are no Republicans, but they are anti-establishment, and the entertainment establishment is left.

They apparently have issues with Michael Moore. Moore started "Bowling for Columbine" with a "Cartoon History of the US" which they felt was a blatant rip off of the South Park style.

Also, one of the duo was interviewed in the movie (they are from near Denver) and felt that SURPRISE! Moore heavily edited the interview to make it seem that they were knocking their friends and neighbors (personally, I did not see that in the interview, but I never saw the full interview).

Howard will go the way of Reagan...

Ya mean, there'll be a movement to put his face on money? On Mt. Rushmore (or, in your case, Uluru)? You mean that when he dies people will line up for hours just to file past the casket, his old friends and vanquished enemies will come halfway around the world to pay their respects, his old media foes will sing his praises, and even people who never liked him much during his life (e.g. me, in Reagan's case) will end up snivelling in front of the TV?

Brrrr. What a terrible fate.

Parker and Stone cut some scenes of “explicit puppet sex” so they could gain an R-rating from the MPAA. They'll sell a lot of DVDs.

Meanwhile, puppets of Jeanine Garofalo, Tim Robbins, and Susan Sarandon appear in the film. I think we can guess their fate. And one of the villains in the film is the “Film Actors Guild”. I understand that the acronym is deliberate. Certainly not politically correct.

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed that the golden shower scene got cut. Tee hee. Anyway, isn't George Clooney one of the celebrities that gets mocked? Didn't George Clooney sort of discover them?

Archie, you'll feel much better and think more clearly if you pull your head out of your arse into the sunlight and fresh air. More oxygen, y'know!

Does wonders for the brain cells.

>Parker and Stone cut some scenes of “explicit puppet sex” so they could gain an R-rating from the MPAA. They'll sell a lot of DVDs.

“explicit puppet sex”

If I were 15 years younger, I would start a band with that name.

Back OT.....

I never have much liked "South Park" (I don't find it that funny, for some odd reason), and I really don't plan on watching "Team America", unless someone invites me over for a DVD showing (I'll bring some munchies, OK?).

But I do want to acknowledge that South Park at least treats the world equally in their satires. Sounds like they continue that policy with "Team America".....although I would have had Micheal Moore eating ice cream straight from a 5 gallon bucket like a horse.

I didn't see what Michael Moore was holding in his hands until I watched the clip a second time.

Ya mean, there'll be a movement to put his face on money?

Or name a chunk of the Florida Turnpike after him, maybe.

Don't miss the mustard stains on Moore's shirt, also visible.

God, the Sean Penn puppet was scary.

I think all puppets are scary.

Arch Kennedy made me laugh. I can't take seriously anybody who writes in run-on sentences with haphazard punctuation and no capitalization. It's like a kid trying to tell you a long story without taking a breath.

Currently on UA website: "UA holding disaster preparedness excercise." Meanwhile, in other news, Fat Boy rolls into the U of A tonight at 7 PM. Hmm. Just asking!

Rebecca: Punctuation and capitalization are Tools of The Man, The Oppressor. The are an effort to force your thinking into the paths desired by the Powerful. When Speaking Truth to Power, one must necessarily forgo the use of the Tools of The Man (Mr. Charley). No politically correct thinking lefty would dare use either one. They're the equivalent of the Mark of Satan. Hope this helps.

I saw Team America over the weekend (sneak peek) and it was hilarious! Plenty of digs at both Rambo-style Americans (yes, we save the world from terror numerous times, but in the process destroy much of central Paris and Egypt - to the delight of the oblivious Americans and the dumbfounded shock of the locals) and namby-pamby liberals of all stripes (especially the Hollywood elite members of the Film Actors Guild).

Michael Moore is definitely a villain in the movie (probably third behind Kin Jong Il and Alec Baldwin). The puppet sex scene is a riot and a long soliloquy on how the world is divided into dicks, pussies and assholes is awe inspiring in its ability to frame a somewhat sophisticated view of the world in the words of sophmoric profanity (BTW, Americans are dicks, liberals/Europeans are pussies and the Axis of Evil are assholes). I laughed at the obviously phony Arabic (Mukkalukkadukka street and dialog like "Pukka tukka jihad Mohammed jihad!") and an extended scene of puking in an alley (it's a LOT funnier than it sounds).

Nobody is spared in this movie (especially Ben Affleck and Matt Damon). It's a feel-good movie for the entire family! (Provided they're old enough to view graphic puppet sex.)

>yes, we save the world from terror numerous times, but in the process destroy much of central Paris and Egypt

I'd hate to lose the pyramids.

Just checked the Australian release date...

3rd of March, 2005!?!?!??!?!?!?!??! What the hell???

Hmm, I wonder how Team America is going to be received in Old Europe. The hysterical outrage by the commentariat should be something to behold.

*checks release schedule* Oh goodie! December 30th in Germany, right when I'm back there; looks like I'll be able to watch the commotion first-hand.

Just had an idea for all those who want to be a republic' hows about we split the difference and name John Howard 'King John' of all Australia for life and on his demise appoint another worthy of the role so that we don't suffer the problems through rights of inheritance- Get rid of all State governers at the same time and this will save heaps
what ya think Malcolm Turnbull?

"Uluru" Howard. Got a ring to it. 'course, it'll be a couple years before we can carve him on the Ka'aba...

"I hate conservatives, but I REALLY fuckin' hate liberals."- Matt Stone.

Though I think they take a pretty dim view of the Bush administration as well, I always thought this sentiment was where the term "South Park Republican" came from.
