Are people sure that site is serious? I mean, those people seem more pathetic than even me!

Either it is a very clever act by Rove (he is really behind everything, right?), or my country has a really, really pathetic subculture of, well, really, really pathetic people!

Welp, I find it incredibly hard to take seriously any sorries from distressed-looking bald-headed guys with nose rings and red-rimmed eyes. He looks like somebody stole his stash and he's about to cry.

He's got quite a nice shack though...

Not to put a damper on things, but I think "John Hunt is Coward" is meant to be hippy for "John Howard is a C*nt". Or something along those lines.

By the way, Treacher e-mails to indicate our protesty pal's intended meaning: "John Howard is a cunt. Get it?"

Yes. Meaning was got. Yet it's still somehow crap!

"...who's lips are firmly planted..."

Margo's cousin, maybe?

I second Benjamin's interpretation. The guy's not an idiot. Well, he is an idiot, just not for that reason.

Is there anybody out there with a nose ring who ISN'T a leftie wank? Just curious.

Are there snot-related problems with nose rings? Last week's boogers festering away in there?

Notice too, that the Amerikkkan cultural hegemon has crushed the freedom of Aussies to spell "arse" correctly.

Bastards.

If you think the nose ring is puerile and unhygienic, you should see his other piercing!

One wonders how long the left will take to realize that their clever little word games (BUCK FUSH! GET IT?!) don't really win elections, nor inspire the confidence of adults in the soundness of their ideas.

Gary E. Kaminski, of Buena Vista, PA, takes time out from staring open-mouthed at the idiot box to pen a letter to the editor of the Melbourne Herald Sun:

Finally, our (American) election is over and I was hoping to watch TV without the endless blitz of commercials.

But wait, a new blitz has appeared: touchy-feely comercials urging Americans too afraid to travel to our traditional stomping grounds in Europe to go to Australia.

The catch-phrase is "Australia ... a different light".

What light is that? What light did the refugees imprisoned in Woomera see? What kind of lighht illuminates Villawood and Baxter?

When I tell my fellow Americans about the government's extremist and cruel detention policies, they are shocked. In the meantime, thanks for the reminders on our TVs.

Shut your mouth, Gazza. You're drooling.

... and the Margoesque use of "who's".

... and the Margoesque use of "who's".

fidens,

read above- he's already ben margoed for his speling

That isn't a nose ring,it's a rivet holding the weasels nose on.He doesn't look very Australian.

Never mind the nose ring. This guy is one ugly #$%& as it is.

One day people are going to stop sending in their pictures. As far as I'm concerned, that is going to be a very sad day.

The flip side of his paper reads:

I'm sorry
I wish the majority of Aussies had voted for a Prime Minister who's lips would be firmly locked around Chirac's tongue :(

That guys needs a new IRL, which is mine, by the way. "Have a clue," seems so appropriate, wouldn't you agree.

In a phrase, and as Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon."

In regards to the "WereSorry" sites, it must be nice to have a website with pictures of uninformed simpletons to serve as a smokescreen from actually discussing the MERITS of support for the US/Republicans/Bush/Iraq Invasion.

1)I like the black naugahyde bar stool.

2)How did Bullethead get rid of the red-eye?

3)The morose smiley-face (I know, a contradiction) showed some creativity.

4)What kind of a looseleaf binder has holes like that?

5)I'm guessing that on the back of the sheet is written "Im blowing up the powurplant on Toosday. Dont try too stop me!!!!"

Is it just me or is it a little ironic that our good friend chooses to use the American "ass" instead of the Australian "arse"?

Methinks our anti-American friend is a little more American then he likes to beleive.

"John Coward is a Hunt"

Yet another Cunning Stunt from a Shining Wit.

Weird facial or genital piercings generally indicate some level of psychological trauma. There are a lot of damaged folks in the lefty ranks.

BTW, did anyone else notice that the interior backgrounds of the vast majority of these photos were fucking hovels? Christ, my wife and I don't earn much and we live in a tiny old house, but it didn't cost much at Home Depot and Wal-Mart to fix it up pretty. Maybe they're waiting for the government to do it.

Austrian?

Dave S — Come on, it's bad enough the fascist parents make them live in the basement just because their PoliSci doctorates won't get them jobs... do they have to decorate, too?

Mike Auk — "Is there anybody out there with a nose ring who ISN'T a leftie wank?" Well, yes, but they're usually galloping through the Pamplona streets trampling drunken tourists...

Are there snot-related problems with nose rings? Last week's boogers festering away in there?

Yeah. I want to know that too even though I'm afraid the answer will disgust me. What about if you have a cold? Do you have to be careful when blowing your nose to avoid splattering innocent bystanders?

Hey!! Wait a minute there. *I'VE* got a doctorate in Polisci, and I earn a decent living, uh, well, I, uh, that is, well, . . . I do earn a decent living, but if they ever figure out what I'm teaching my students (83% of them think I'm crazy and 72% are sure I'm armed, so it works out), I'll have to go back and live in my Mom's basement. (And it's in rural America, Midwest, so it's got a dirt floor, a sump pump, and a lot of creepy-crawlies, so I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK THERE! [err, not that I ever lived in my Mom's basementor anything.] I've go too much self-esteem or something).

Anyway, I would never, ever live in my Mom's basement. Nope. Not. Wouldn't do it. If anybody tells you different, they're lying. Really.

So stop insulting Polisci doctorate-folks. I know, most of them can't pound sand and have no useful skills, but making fun of the retarded is so 2000.

I think the LA Times called John Howard "John Hunt" and the lefties here have seized upon it a an example of his illegitimacy internationally...or something.

Its a spoonerism you dumb f***

That's "fum duck" to you.

Don't you mean fumb d*** ?

Oh Magoo, you've done it again!

Dr Spooner, it may be a spoonerism, but Art Vandelay is right:

To add insult to injury, a Los Angeles Times editorial not only denounced the Australian leader, but also repeatedly referred to him as “John Hunt”.

Peter,

I don't want to be PC, but in what way doesn't he look very Australian?

Hope you were only joking; otherwise you're a racist fuckwit.

LOL... though Austria doesn't have a Prime Minister.

*Art* is right, the LA Times wrote a snarky editorial condemning Australia's handling of refugees (it may even have been the Tampa). The editorial began *How embarrasing for Australia's John Hunt . . . * or words to that effect.

I remember it fairly well because it was on their website around Sept. 8, 2001, and I forwarded it on to the news director of 6PR (a radio station in Perth). I just wanted to embarass the Times because the editorial was so self-rightous and they're so clueless about most things. I remember being very surprised when I later heard the announcers joke around about John Hunt.

And I remember a lot of details from my life that last weekend before 9/11.

Note to "Oh No": I think what Peter meant is that the skin colour, facial proportions & head shape are atypical of what you will see in Australia. We have to spell it out for some people: Reading between the lines, Peter was suggesting that the photo possibly is a foreign imposter, pretending to be an Australian?

Oh! No!

"Hope you were only joking; *otherwise you're a racist fuckwit*"

Dunno where 'Oh! No! is posting from, but if it's from Australia, it's obviously from one of the few remaining 'liberal elite' ghettos, eg. the ABC, the SMH or the Age. Otherwise he'd know that 'racist fuckwit' tends to be something of a fond, endearing epithet in Australia these days.
Usage: 'What about Bluey? Oh, he's a racist fuckwit!" Meaning: "he's an all-around good bloke and he can tup my sister any-old-time (belch) - after I've finished with her, of course!
Relax, just playing the devil's advocate guys. Up to a point -that is. ;-)=

This person does not look like an Australian.

He has no concept of English grammar - > (abbreviation for 'who is') should be 'whose'.

Australians do not often use the term 'ass' - the correct Aussie word is 'arse'.

He looks like a reincarnation of The Mummy. Maybe his nose has that strange shape because its been too far up the 'ass' of Michael Moore and co.

" ....but it didn't cost much at Home Depot and Wal-Mart to fix it up pretty."

In addition to denouncing Bush supporters as moronic fascists, I've seen derogatory references to Bush supporters as Wal-Mart shoppers. Shopping at Wal-Mart is supposed to be a negative. Don't really know why.

If you ask me it looks as though someone shaved a marmoset and stuck it in a 'witty' t-shirt.
Looks like some sort of 'Funny Photo' prank gone wrong

Gary E Kominski - does the following story answer your question?

From Sydney Daily Telegraph Nov. 15, 2004

Iron bars used in brawl

"A brawl involving iron bars and other weapons erupted among inmates at Villawood Detention Centre last night. A fleet of ambulances was called to transfer the victims to several hospitals after the fight erupted shortly after 8pm.

Six inmates sutained serious injuries in the fight and required treatment for dental injuries and stitches. Authorities were forced to use several ambulances for each of the victims for fear that the fight would erupt again as they were being transported to hospital."

So what's your sugestion, Gary? Should we allow them into the community so they can disappear? Would you like these people living next door to you? Didnt think so.

Every time I see one of those nose rings I can't help but think how much it would hurt for someone to rip it out in a fight.

Treacher -
I laughed my arse off at your first set of comments, and was waiting all weekend for these last ones. Thanks.

Dumb Ass -
That's "president's".

Boss Hogg — Judging by the face, the fact that he's dressed like someone 20 years younger than he looks to be, the lack of basic grammar coupled with the supercilious 'tude... I'd say a resident of the Boswash corridor or the Frisco/Seattle coast...

Hey Oh No, don't you mean facist ruckwit? You jupid sackass!

Oh Magoo, you done it again!... and again, and again...

BAHWAHHAHAHAHA!!!

Looking at "sorry everyone" I am still not convinced that 3/4s of those pictures were not sent in by Bush voters looking to be funny -- I mean, is it possible there really are that many pathetic people in the US?

About the Wal-Mart thing: it's probably the largest retail chain in the US, noted for offering a wide variety of goods at reasonable prices. Although they've been moving in to the cities lately, their stores are located primarily in the suburbs and countryside. Thus, the smear.

Frankly, I can understand a little of the hostility. I usually support them when they open a new store because they provide a lot of jobs to the local community. Recently, however, they've opened a store in Mexico that's less than a mile away from a sacred site hundreds of years old. That's just wrong.

Crazy Chester asked What kind of a looseleaf binder has holes like that?

A. A student refill pre-punched for a 2-hole, 3-hole or 4-hole ringer binder.

Why would anyone take seriously someone who can't even spell "arse"?

I'd apologise too if my face looked like that.

I expect a similar appology from the Brits.

Me thinks if he pulled that ring from his nose, he could then smell the coffee...

he kinda looks like a salamander with a suntan...

Australian or not, he's one ugly looking dork.

I see you and me are on the same wavelength on this Evil...

:)

it's bad enough the fascist parents make them live in the basement just because their PoliSci doctorates won't get them jobs

Well, it worked for Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, may he rest in peace. He actually was a decent guy and frequently interviewed and debated with our local Minnesota right-wing radio-folk, a brave thing for him to do.

To your point, he finished studying poly-sci, and started teaching it, at the same college he attended as a student, (Carleton), and later became a U.S. Senator, amassing a wealth of around three million. So it does work out for some of them.

While I, and others on the right disagreed with him on policy, he was an honest Liberal, he said what he meant, and meant what he said.

There are not many other Libs one could say the same about.

BTW

this clever and informed individual:

badge says:
John Hunt is a coward

Lovely spoonerism, but an ugly, sad, and beaten man.

Are all Oz leftie men bald?

Is it a Midnight Oil thing?

OT Rant: A forum I frequent saw a new member join recently who turned out to be mild-mannered, knowledgable on the subject being discussed, etc...you know, the kind of guy every forum would wish to have more of.

And now, a little over a week after he joined, his posts suddenly carry this sig:

Somewhere in Texas a village has been looking for its idiot for four years.

On a forum whose main topic has nothing to do with politics, and that in fact shuns the discussion of politics even in its Off-Topic section because of all the bad blood it had created in the past. (Nevermind how mind-bogglingly unoriginal the 'village idiot' line is.)

It's like an ever-growing number of lefties have a little voice inside their heads telling them that, no matter how sensible they are in everyday life, they should (no, MUST!) feel free to behave like obnoxious assholes on the subject of politics.

Gaahhhh.

What wouldn't I give to see this dropkick holding that sign up at the Digger's Boozer in Holsworthy (Sydney's Army Barracks, home to our Parachute Battalion amongst others, for our US friends).

Wouldn't be pretty.

Fuck me!! And I thought I was ugly.

"Recently, however, they've opened a store in Mexico that's less than a mile away from a sacred site hundreds of years old. That's just wrong."

ahem, what the fuck does that have to do with anything? I was unaware that there was some sort of no-capitalism zone around "sacred sites" -- and so, in fact, is thte Catholic church, from what I have seen of other of their "sacred sites." (I am assuming the "sacred site" you speak of is a Catholic shrine of some sort.)

His sheet of paper has a height width ratio close to the US format standard of 1.545 rather than the A4 ISO standard of 1.414 in use almost everwhere else in the world, including Australia.

Recently, however, they've opened a store in Mexico that's less than a mile away from a sacred site hundreds of years old. That's just wrong.

You realize that, with people having traipsed around the Americas for, oh, 10,000 years or more, EVERYWHERE is less than a mile away from a sacred site. I'm sitting less than a quarter mile from the former location of a sacred site, and I'm in downtown Cincinnati.

Heck, the towns of Chillicothe and Newark in Ohio are built in and around sacred sites. I'm pretty sure they're awash in WalMarts, and that the towns predate WalMart by at least a hundred years.

Fuck the sacred sites and fuck the women's secrets and all the other neanderthal bullshit.

Let us all move forward in peace, harmony and tranquility into the future.

The glorious future where rights carry responsibilities, where people take care of themselves and families care for the sick and recalcitrant.

NOT MY FUCKIN" JOB!

Bluepole — yes! And he wrote his message with a pen that wasn't available in 1973... Oh, wait, wrong faker...

>Are there snot-related problems with nose rings?

No, only lefties wear nose rings and their snot goes straight up to the empty space where their brain should have been.

Wal-Mart is like Ikea, only more fun, cheaper, better goods, and you don't have to be a pretentious arsehole (it's optional, at least) to shop there.

Wal-Mart is like Ikea, only more fun, cheaper, better goods, and you don't have to be a pretentious arsehole (it's optional, at least) to shop there. Also, much like Starbuck's, there's damn near one on every street corner. Maybe it's the sheer ubiquity that turns off the Left.

oops.

oops.

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
