   A six word post, John. I know you normally shun articles of more than two lines but this one’s short even by your standards.

   I’ve never seen a more racist hole than Alice Springs. It sickens me but it doesn’t surprise me.
   I hope they close that toilet of a hostel down.

   I love the excuse given: they aren’t international backpackers.

   So why did you give them a room when they first arrived?

   “Oh, yeah, well, they looked like they might be, um, international backpackers from, like, Kenya, ay, doing a lifesaving course…”

    Do I ever drink anything else while I’m reading the Green Religion Bible?

    Hey, who else wants to force their leftist cliches upon me?

    Surely, Surnami, you are singing “Kumbaya” while your latte cools.

    In a statement issued to The Age, Ms Ball said: “Haven Hostels is a backpacker hostel catering for international backpacking tourists, which this group was not.”

    Someone ring up and book the entire Grods readership in for a week at Haven Hostels, making it clear we’re all Australians. I bet they swallow it.

    I reckon an equal opportunities commission is going to take a dim view, by their own admission discriminating on the basis of ethnicity….hmmmmm.

    Actually forget reserving a room for the Grods-ers - just book in the entire crew from AWH. One room with two double-beds should be adequate.

    Bridgit, that’s a grousome idea. Although I am choking back a poor-taste joke about booking them into another hostel somewhere in SE Qld. Something tells me to bight my tongue, however.

    Fuck, I am regretting that already. Ed? Is there a delete button somewhere?

    The thought of Dr. Tingtong naked, skinny white legs with grey black hair, showing off his 4 inch purple, right pointing erection with hands on hips is just way too scaryeeeeeee……. ARRRGGHHHHHH!

    Tez, that is SO FUCKING WRONG!

    Je-sus Christ! I go offline to record a GrodsThink and come back to this comment thread.

    Nice work, team.

    No. You all have it wrong

    It s the aborignal women that should take the blame.

    How dare they inflict their non-whiteness on white tourists.

    See anyone can be MK for a day.

    Yeah Alice is a fucked up place. The sheer waste of humanity that wander through the streets like yet to die ghosts is horrid.

    Of course when they banned public drinking they just moved to the outskirts where they were out of reach by emergency workers (cops and ambos) and as such the injury/murder rate has increased.

    Thye management could have, should have told the complaining white tourists [presuming they existed as such] to “…..off”.

    perhaps they were South African backpackers and the hostel thought they’d feel more at home by having “apartheid day”.
    Hope no Israelis turn up, they’d have to blow up a school to make them feel at home.
