This satirical sketch always cracks me up. smile Hilarious skit on the media, and how they can make a Mountain out of a Molehill....For the ignoble pursuit of viewing figures and presumably some warped sense of dramatic achievement. Chris Morris is a comedic terrorist.....he wuz funny when 'Onion news' was still germinating neath teh ground....and does a mean Jeremy Paxman send up. I reckon Ajay will like this one too.....Then of course rush to defend the Austrolasian-Hong Kong border from the menace of the invaders, who dare attempt to turn his upside down world 'the right way round'. As all good Aussies do! biggrin

It was only when I learned of the phenomena of Gravity that I truly understood why Aussies do not fall off the world, and are not now floating away in space. Thanks, God. Wow.....you think of everything. hahaha They would just see it as another challenge anyways....Croc-Dundee-Stylee. biggrin

Word has it that the fighting will initially be concentrated in the 'Upper Cataracts' of 'Eastmans Town', but this has yet to be confirmed. More on this story later....with regular updates as the news rolls in. If I can be arsed.




hahaha

Awesome, I own all of The Day today and the sister program 'Brasseye' on DVD. One of the best satire on modern media ever created, right down to over the top graphics. I love the one where they have a graph and then the graph tops become foxes heads and then the they mention that if they add a new value the foxes eyes light up on the graph, hahahahaha too funny.


"THAT WAS THE NEWS!!!!!!!!! HAPPY NOW!?"

Hehehe. Phil Collins' 'drug of choice'.

LOL! No, I am not. And neither is the real deal (Paxo!) either. Seems to be perturbed, and slightly annoyed about something. Perpetually!



Paxman pours scorn upon the elements.



He is a force for GOOD. Broadcasting Legend, in my considered opinion. Not unlike the Honey Badger....He don't care. Not one single flying f*ck was given in 90% of his interviews, because he exposes these BS artists for what they truly are. That being what I just described them as.

Carry on. Jobs a good un' Pax. Knight of the Realm.

biggrin

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011
