Dumb Comment of the Day Award

Honestly, some people either don’t think before they write, or they are so clueless about what they are attempting to write about, that they make themselves look extremely foolish. Take, for example, the following article: Unseen Vista: Desktop OS Is MIA At Microsoft Partner Conference I mean seriously, and I quote: When a political leader […]

Slow The Hell Down

So, Victoria is getting more speed and red-light cameras? Good. Naturally, however, the “great non-thinkers” are trying to label it as “revenue raising” and “secret taxation”. Bah! Two Geelong Intersections Get Red-Light Camera Upgrade Here’s a tip for you folks – don’t speed, and don’t go through red lights, and you won’t have to pay […]

Sofa King Beauty

I always find it humourous when sports broadcasters, particularly in motor sports, listen in on team radio conversations, and put them to air. They run the risk of “special words” getting to air. In this instance, an ecstatic Mark Webber celebrates with his team over the radio after his maiden Formula One win last night […]

Price Check On Register Duh!

Special prices on supermarket items about to go past their use-by dates are great, especially if you know you are going to use the product straight away. However, in this instance, I think I’d rather pay the original price!

Do Not Use Twitter!

Interesting commentary on just how pervasive Twitter is becoming in modern culture – particularly in the culture of the tech savvy.

Leo Goes Flat

I get my tech news from a lot of different places – including TWiT.tv. Many of Leo’s fans will know that he does the shows sitting on an exercise ball. Ever wondered if he’s ever popped the ball? The answer: Yes! (NOTE: Leo posted this video himself, and trimmed some of the audio out, but […]

Kev’s Bad Hair Day

In an entry for the “oh good god, get over it” file, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd apparently threw what is being described as a “tantrum” while on a recent visit to Afghanistan. Coming soon after his hissy fit about the food on the prime-ministerial jet, this one is even funnier. PM ‘Threw a Tantrum’ With […]

Umm what?

Many of you will recently have seen examples of “hacked” roadside signs – actually they aren’t hacked – people just managed to find out the default password, which were never changed, and then crack open the compartment with the computer in it, and then change it. I don’t know if this one is a joke […]

Melbourne or Mekong?

Oh dear. April Fools Day again. This story from the Herald-Sun in Melbourne is so funny – not for the story itself, but for the cleverly constructed group of comments. Chinese Bid to ‘rename’ MCG Some I am sure are from real people – but plenty I am equally sure have been cleverly crafted to […]

Ha Ha!

While I certainly don’t want to direct this towards all Geelong supporters, living in this town, I have seen a certain arrogance this year in regards to Geelong’s quest for back-to-back AFL premierships. Many had themselves convinced that the second premiership was already run and won months ago. One Geelong supporter even had himself tatooed […]
