Pinged by Tim
It's clear that you've made it when internet elitist Tim Blair accuses you of being an internet elitist in his Bulletin column:

About 51% of Australians believe Schapelle Corby is innocent, according to one poll. A far greater percentage, judging by various comments, believe Corby and her kin are guilty of high-level boganism. “I think ther (sic) are more important things to be concerned with in the world then some bogan hairdreser cow,” wrote one internet elitist. “It must be bogan and racism season,” wrote another, on the issue of a Bali boycott. A third wondered at the etymology of “Schapelle”: “We can only assume that her bogan parents thought it would be nice to use the French for 'name'.” Bogan-loathing increased following televised coverage of Corby’s sentencing, which showed the reaction of her family. Instead of seeing understandable human grief, many saw only a pack of ravening white-trash Corbeasts. Prejudices beyond racism are clearly at play here.
GrodsCorp proudly owns up to being internet elitist #3 with the quote coming directly from this entry.
