Timmeh Blair, an avid reader of GrodsCorp, has read our story about Andrew and Kate’s Poundster Kevin07 challenge and duly misrepresented it on his blog-of-shame.

Labor fan Kate Pounder announces the Kevin07 Seven Wonders Challenge:

There are seven wonders of the world - can we get a show of support for Kevin07 in front of each one before election day? Let’s call it the Kevin07 Seven Wonders Challenge.

You already did, Kate, possibly without knowing exactly which seven wonders you’re talking about.

Doesn’t matter that Andrew points out in the comments of the post that he and Kate are referring to the new seven wonders of the modern world, recently selected in a global poll:

Here are the Seven Wonders in no particular order:

1. Taj Mahal, Agra, India
2. Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio de Janeiro
3. The Colosseum in Rome
4. The Great Wall of China
5. Jordan’s ancient city of Petra
6. The Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru
7. The ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá in Mexico.

But Timmeh’s attack dog whistle had been blown and his redneck commenters went to work:

Infidel Tiger: “Kate’s nickname is Richard.”
That’s the standard of joke I’d expect to hear in a grade five classroom at my school.

Pickles: “Kate Pounder. Last Drinks ! “
See above.

egg_: “Does Kate Pound AC/DC All Night Long?”
See above.

Habib: “Can’t she pull that shirt up over her head? She’s frightening all the vultures away.”
Niiiice.

Habib: “I hope they’re getting around by foor or tandem bicycle as well- it’d be so hypocritical to be flying on a carbon-producing tool of globalisation and capitalism.”
That’s the beautiful thing about redneck RWDBs — they never miss a chance to swing any conversation around so they can accuse somebody of environmental hypocrisy no matter how unrelated that conversation might be.

Art Vandelay: “I hope all that travel is carbon neutral..”
See above.

mareeS: “…why does she look like every other Joan Baez wannabe? Long stringy hair, glasses…Maybe it’s to do with her politics. So 60s.”
Clearly playing the (wo)man and not the ball in that comment.

Never mind. Timmeh will post something else tomorrow (more than likely lifted from Andrew Bolt’s blog) and his moronic commenters will put down their dole diaries long enough to make the kind of insightful and intelligent comments we’ve seen above about somebody else.

CONTINUING UPDATES:

Hanyu: “I notice that it’s okay to fly if you’re a Labor voter, but for anyone else it’s off with their heads. Kate Pounder is an idiot: she backs Rudd’s policies on climate change but says elsewhere on her site that she took at least three flights in Iran… And just for Habib… note Kate’s headwear at that link. At least she’s on the right track.”
This Hanyu is good! He/she/it managed to combine a climate change dig with an ugly dig. Clever.

egg_: “Some could prolly go a Pounder sans T-shirt“
egg_ is back for more after he/she/it has spent the last hour going through the Poundster flickr account.

What IS with all that “if you’re a lefty you can’t travel in a plane” bullshit, anyway? For that to be hypocrisy, we’d have had to have declared plane travel off-limits and called for it to be banned. When did we do that? I wasn’t at that meeting.
Iain Hall (Friday 12 October 2007, 5:28 am) #

No Jeremy
You know very well that if you are a true believer in AGW then every time that you fly in a jet you are being a hypocrite. Not because of some call to ban air travel but because each flight creates many tons of extra CO2. The same gas that you and your fellow true believers claim is causing climate change.
While your fellow greenies are keen to suggest that we should stop driving big cars or that we should get used to cold showers, you and your green cronies all still book those holidays that require a trip in a jet plane. Why over the last couple of months, Scott, Hap, MM, Arthur Vanderlay, have all taken overseas holiday and the Lord only knows how many frequent flyer points you have accumulated. While a conservative like me who drives a 6 cylinder Ford (who would not dream of partaking in air travel because planes crash) undoubtedly has a much smaller carbon footprint than any of you, even when I include all of my family.
If you are really a True Greenie you will vow here and now to never again step on a plane unless lives are at stake but you want that yuppie holiday too much don’t you?
As I said
A greenie who travels by air = hypocrite
Matthew Newton (Friday 12 October 2007, 6:47 am) #

Iain, the fact is that you can’t travel by plane because you don’t have a job and can’t afford a ticket.

Cars crash too you fool.

Your jealousy is shining through Iain. One does not even have to read between the lines.

BTW, why do you insist on using capital letters midway through a sentence when they are not needed? It just makes you look like more of a tool.

Keep it up Iain.
Iain Hall (Friday 12 October 2007, 8:34 am) #

Matthew Newton /fang/ agent Starling/ wanker extraordinaire.
My ability to purchase air tickets to any destination around the world (which probably exceeds yours anyway) is not the issue. Nor do I make the comment above out of “jealousy” What a sad wanker you are.

Cars crash too you fool.

Yes cars do crash, but your chances of surviving an air crash are statistically very low indeed, where as in the majority of car crashes the occupants of the cars live to drive again.

BTW, why do you insist on using capital letters midway through a sentence when they are not needed? It just makes you look like more of a tool.

The person who looks a tool is you, firstly you claim, without any evidence at all, that I could not afford air travel, then you suggest, once again without evidence, that I am jealous of those who jet about the globe and finally, you do not even address the topic of the thread.
What name are you going to come up with next time?

Iain, didn’t anybody ever teach you that putting words in bold, like shouting when talking, doesn’t make the words any truer?

Also, a full stop is not required after a question mark. And even if it was it would go directly after the question mark and not two lines below it.
Agent Starling (Friday 12 October 2007, 10:53 am) #

Who died and made you moderator of this thread Iain? I notice that you have republished Bolt’s column from last week on your bog (sic).

How dare you accuse me of being anyone other than myself.

Iain = hypocrite! Since he is the sock puppet master!

I would just love to hear you explain just why my argument is not true. The prospect of you (or Jeremy) trying to validate both your air travel and your “green credentials” is bound to be amusing.
Just asserting that I am wrong does not make it so at all, and you know it, which is why you make a fuss about that stray full stop.
The Editor (Friday 12 October 2007, 2:04 pm) #

I don’t recall ever trying to validate my “green credentials.” I think you’re lumping me in with your amorphous stereotype of lefty.
Maxim de Winter (Friday 12 October 2007, 2:29 pm) #

Iain. It is my business which nom de plume I choose to hide behind. Since fang is dead, I am road testing a few others. Admin will be aware because of the email and ip address. Anyway, it doesn’t matter which pseudonym I hold you to account under, you are still an extraordinary chicken feeder.

You are not fooling anyone with your “ability to purchase air tickets to any destination around the world” because my penis is bigger than yours.

Anyhow, you can’t even afford a dictionary or a razor. Maybe you should think about that? Further, I don’t need to address your (Bolts) faux points about air travel and being a greenie because it is bollocks.

Do you Like , this , sentence?. Does it Remind you of Anyone.!?
The Happy Revolutionary (Friday 12 October 2007, 2:40 pm) #

I know very little about man-made climate change, but I can think of no greater argument in favour of its existence than the fact that Bolt, Timmeh, and Hall deny it.

Iain = hypocrite! Since he is the sock puppet master!

I’m reminded of this gem, when Iain nominated himself for a blog award.
Iain Hall (Friday 12 October 2007, 5:45 pm) #

More lies from the keyboard of Bridgit Gread?
No one will be surprised at all.
Bridgit Gread (Friday 12 October 2007, 7:30 pm) #

How’d you go with that self-nomination, Iain (or should I say, ‘mempire’?) Surely you picked up a few votes in the Profligate Semi-Colon category.
AV (Friday 12 October 2007, 9:58 pm) #

Art Vandelay = not me, obviously.
Iain Hall (Saturday 13 October 2007, 5:58 am) #

Bridgit
What would anyone say of a “journalist” who cites anything by BB as a source of reliable information?
A. They are very sloppy
B. They are stupid and malicious
C. They don’t care that the “information” is crap
D. They got their journalism qualification from the back of a cornflakes packet.
E. All of the above

The answer Just has to be “E”

Amazing what lengths you lot will go to trying to avoid having to explain just how you can be a “Greenie” and hold lots of frequent flyer points…
Maxim de Winter (Saturday 13 October 2007, 8:00 am) #

Iain, addressing your moronic point is like an atheist debating a creationist. You being the creationist. Like Dawkins says “why bother?”

Intersting link to your sock puppet antics though. Did you win?
Iain Hall (Saturday 13 October 2007, 9:26 am) #

sock puppet antics

A perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black.
ROTFL
Bridgit Gread (Saturday 13 October 2007, 11:35 am) #

Iain, amazing what lengths you will go to in order to avoid explaining your presence as a devious, malicious, stalking dickhead who thrashes the English language to within an inch of its life.
Iain Hall (Saturday 13 October 2007, 3:07 pm) #

Bridgit
You seem to be under the misapprehension that I care at all about your opinion of me personally. I think you are just peeved that I made you look so stupid in the previous thread.
Now isn’t it time that you stop trying to validate your own inadequacies by trying to demonise me? By all means try to better my arguments but when all you can do is write insults that could have been lifted from BB or Fang you just end up looking a stupid as they are.
You see I may not be able to spell perfectly but I have steadfastly worked at making up for my orthographical errors. You on the other hand may not need to do such work but what you do need to do is to work on your personal integrity that you have repeatedly shown is very sadly lacking.

Oh Iain young chap, are you a comedian? Your posts get worse by the day. Have a look back at your Doctor Who post:

The Doctor to regenerate???

I have been I lifelong fan of the Doctor Who series. In fact one of the anecdotes that I like to tell about my childhood concerns the time, when I was nine, that I had an appendicitis, . At that time in the children’s ward at the Marter Hospital there was one black and white TV and I had had the pre-med injection and was waiting to go into theatre when the distinctive theme music began. I was most upset and I tried very hard to convince the nurse that my surgery could wait just half an hour so I could watch the Doctor do battle with the Daleks. That was in the era of William Hartnell who I still think was one of the better incarnations of the Doctor. In the end it was another Doctor, the one with a scalpel rather than a sonic screwdriver who won that argument.
Back to the present I have really enjoyed the last two episodes of the latest serries shown here and it is the excellent writing and great production values that have helped but it is also the persona and performance of David Tennant That has made the Venerable show so good. I will be incredibly sad if this report is true.

Working steadfastly hey?

Btw, last night I dreamt I went to Mt Mee again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter…

[Creepy isn't it?]

Congratulations on being so great, Iain. Expecting 100,000 hits by Christmas, building Noddy cars and vanquishing evil ‘lefties’ in the blink of an eye… I bet you’ve got a really big dick too.

You sound more pathetic with every new comment. By the way does your becoming a post author here mean that you have lost your day job?
Bourbon Boy (Saturday 13 October 2007, 9:31 pm) #

I bet you’ve got a really big dick too.

well bridget its unlikely Iains dick is any bigger than his brain but that doesnt mean much, we all know that neither work too well. Hally what are you doing here mate, you have banned all these people from your own craphole of a blog and now you come here to piss them all off, have you got a fucking clue or what???
Bridgit Gread (Sunday 14 October 2007, 2:01 am) #

Iain, while you are pondering my employment status, Fang’s identify and whether to dob BB into the cops, I think you should watch this clip, it contains many valuable lessons for you.
