Remember Danna Vale’s GallipoliWorld idea? Well, check out this new doozy from Family First Senate candidate Gary Plumridge.

Plumridge is so desperate for media coverage he has just performed one of the most bizarre acts of media tarting I have ever seen.

Trying to cash in on the euphoria of the Cats huge win, Plumridge has just announced his support for a giant football monument in Geelong to immortalise the win.

“Everyone is so excited that Geelong is on the map. We talk a lot about boosting tourism and if Geelong had something like the big football, families would travel to see it.”

Time for a GrodsPoll then.

Which is dumber: Danna Vale's "GallipoliWorld" or Gary Plumridge's "Big Football"?

Vote early, vote often.

Theists First are way off the beam this time (what a surprise). Big things suck with a force only matched by Ben Cousins with a rolled up bank note.

Having grown up in NSW I may not be the target market for an engorged Sherrin cum tourist trap, but I’d be as likely to travel to Geelong to see this monstrosity as John Howard is to invite the Smirk to dinner.

I’d be much happier if Theists First would stick to their anti-civilisation / flat earth policies so that they don’t cause too much confusion in the electorate.

I love the phrase “families would travel to see it”.
“Individuals”, “people”. “footy fans”, and “poofs” wouldn’t be interested at all, but “families”, well that’s a whole different story.

Gary is a passionate Geelong fan and the concept of a footy shaped museum at Geelong is a novel idea.
