Remember Ant’s post about pamphlets being distributed to letterboxes around Melbourne’s suburbs? Well, the author of a letter to the editor of The Melbourne Times has totally pwned Mr Rogenous.

What’s the real problem?

I am writing regarding a recent article about the pro-life pamphlets being distributed to residents “MLA condemns abortion pamphlets”, TMT, March 19). (sic)

The fact that disturbs me most about the pamphlet drop and subsequent media coverage is that all the outrage was focused on a letter drop. Yes, it is disgusting. Yes, it is graphic. This is happening every single day in our country.

And what is horrifying people the most is that they are exposed to these images? Where is the outrage that babies are being destroyed? What was actually disturbing about the pamphlet distribution? Pictures on a piece of paper, or the fact that this kind of dismemberment, destruction and torture is a condoned daily practice in our country?

Madeleine Tope / Bundoora

Your turn, Ant.

At last! Aurora’s identity revealed!
Jeremy (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:59 am) #

Because as a general rule we DON’T MAKE CHILDREN LOOK AT PHOTOGRAPHS OF UNPLEASANT MEDICAL PROCEDURES.

And because the rest of your letter’s a lie, Madeleine. The “dismemberment, destruction and torture” you picture is not a “daily occurrence” in this country at all. You, and the other anti-women campaigners who peddle your abuse in East Melbourne and in people’s letterboxes, are incapable of distinguishing between a late-term abortion (which is comparatively rare) and an abortion when the foetus is nothing more than a collection of cells.

You pretend pictures of the former are representative of the latter, when they’re obviously not. But who cares, right? You’ve got your barrel to push, and you’ll use any horrible tactic you think you can get away with.

And you don’t care how many children you traumatise in the meantime.

Yeah, what Jeremy said.
Evil Bill (Friday 11 April 2008, 9:23 am) #

I used to live in East Melbourne and see these people frequently. I used to have the same feeling of wanting to run these people down, punch them as I walked past or tip their porcelain Jesus on the ground and weatch it smash into tiny pieces. One day when I was particularly close to turning the fantasy into a reality I noticed that the vast majority of the people in the crowd were not the full quid. Around 70 per cent of their crowd is made up of people that seriously look intellectually disabled (I’m not saying that as a put down, most of them would not understand what they were doing there) another 15 per cent would be kids dragged their with their parents and it was only the other 15 per cent who are made up of elderly people that think it is their right to force their opinions on people already faced with tough decisions. While I still felt like slapping these elderly pricks, it is not something I would feel proud to brag about and my violent urgings quickly dissipated.
Jeremy (Friday 11 April 2008, 9:48 am) #

It’d be tempting to stand out there with a big sign that read: “These nutters around me are thugs and bullies, and liars. Don’t let their vicious abuse affect you in the slightest. Rememe”*

*You’d probably run out of room on the sign there.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 9:51 am) #

Or if all else fails, the good old fashioned raised middle finger in their general direction should do it.
Suburban Marxist (Friday 11 April 2008, 10:14 am) #

“At last! Aurora’s identity revealed!”

LOL!

Come to think of it, I remember reading that some part of Xtian doctrine has it that the soul of the aborted foetus goes straight to heaven. Why not cut out all the pain and suffering of life, not to mention the chance to sin, and send ‘em straight to paradise..?
Jeremy (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:01 am) #

Gee, I wonder what The is up to?
Bridgit Gread (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:04 am) #

As I said before, try this kind of tactic with pictures of dead and dismembered Iraqi children as a protest against US foreign policy and see how far you get.
THR (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:45 am) #

These conservatives love to accuse lefties of ’statism’, but are then campaigning to have the state regulate womens’ reproductive functioning. Noice.

“We will decide who fornicates in this country, and the circumstances in which they come.”

Hey, you started it.

I can understand where she’s coming from, but it’s like saying terrorism is justified if its in support of people who are suffering.

Wah wrote I can understand where she’s coming from, but it’s like saying terrorism is justified if its in support of people who are suffering.

Exactly the mindset Right-To-Lifers use in the USA when murdering doctors. Not that long since someone tried that here too.

Long time no see, Templemonkey. Welcome back.
Bridgit Gread (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:23 pm) #

“We will decide who fornicates in this country, and the circumstances in which they come.”

In that case we women demand better policy because for us the first isn’t always leading to the second.

Jeremy (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:31 pm) #

And the thread dies, save perhaps an improbable claim by Surname.
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:34 pm) #

No Jeremy, the thread is now going uphill.
E Rogenous (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:37 pm) #

Being offended by exposure to these images and being outraged by “the babies that are being destroyed” are not mutually exclusive. Ant’s original post was not pro-abortion, but rather anti-anti-abortion propoganda!

Anyone who considers that women who have an abortion are callous and evil people who make the decision lightly has rocks in their head. I would think it would be one of the hardest decisions to make that would stay with you for life.
EC (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:38 pm) #

Yep, what Jeremy said at No.2
John Surname (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:39 pm) #

Improbable claim?
Bridgit Gread (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:47 pm) #

Well if we women weren’t having so much sex and using abortion as a secondary form of contraception, none of this would be an issue.
The Editor (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:56 pm) #

Not the mention leaving the house in skimpy clothes and fuck-me boots, with come-get-me looks on your faces, practically inviting the sort of attention that leads to unplanned pregnancy.
Ant Rogenous (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:58 pm) #

Sorry, I should just point out that I don’t have anything to add about this issue that would be a) significantly different to the outrage I expressed in my original post, or b) expressed any better than what Jeremy and E have already posted here.
EC (Friday 11 April 2008, 12:58 pm) #

It outrages me that the Right to Lifers sticking their horrible pictures in people’s letterboxes are often the same people who rail against support for single mothers.

So you have an abortion, you’re evil. You have the child and struggle to get by on pittance and dare to demand adequate resources to care for your child, you’re a bludging drain on the system. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Classic misogyny.
Ant Rogenous (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:00 pm) #

And they’re often anti-gay too. Hasn’t it occured to them that if we were all woolywoofters and lezzos, the problem of abortion would be solved and they could just fuck off and play bowls with their ample spare time instead of terrorising people who don’t deserve it?

Idiots!
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:01 pm) #

Who is up for rumbling them next week The Outsiders style?
Ant Rogenous (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:09 pm) #

I’d quite like the Ducky Boys (from The Wanderers) to turn up.
Jeremy (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:15 pm) #

“The Outsiders style”?

I’m annoyed I didn’t read Cam’s post about the last-Saturday-of-the-month anti-protesters protest until after it had obviously been and gone. (And obviously you lot didn’t go either.)
The Editor (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:16 pm) #

We’re planning on going to the next one, Jeremy. We’ll count you in.
Bridgit Gread (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:21 pm) #

Not the mention leaving the house in skimpy clothes and fuck-me boots, with come-get-me looks on your faces, practically inviting the sort of attention that leads to unplanned pregnancy.

Not me - I never leave the house without my burqa. Somedays I’m so self-conscious I even wear two (a ‘circle-burqa’).
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 1:23 pm) #

I’d fly down if I had the money. I’m seriously skint at the moment. Moving houses and buying more furniture will do that.

If you all do another rally later this year, I’d be able to make it. I’ll come as Ponyboy.

They’re Welsh lamingtons, i.e. made of cheese.

And dusted with pubes, in a tribute to Tom Jones’s Welshfro.
keri (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:08 pm) #

Nah, mate. Strewth! None of that namby-pamby paper stuff for me. Fuck oath, ay?

No, I’ve been a citizen since I needed a passport last. I’m a dual-citizen, and because they buggered up my application, I didn’t even get to go to a ceremony and get my native stalk in a pot.

Bridgit, as long as it’s Caerphilly cheese, I don’t mind.

And Ant, can’t we just wrap them in underwear and throw them at the protesters? I’m not sure pubes would improve the taste any.

Plus, who would volunteer to supply them?
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:15 pm) #

Hence the Bertrand Russell quote on your page Keri… oh I get it now. Ditch the Welsh quote and get an Aussie one. Assimilate NOW!
Bridgit Gread (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:17 pm) #

That’s right… dump the Bertrand Russell and get something from Bert Newton!

If you can suggest something, Bridgit, I’m more than happy to consider it.

I’m not terribly familiar with Moonfaces work, being foreign and all.
Suburban Marxist (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:28 pm) #

“Saturday 26th it is then.”

Me too!

But we should advertise it more widely so we have the numbers, and we’ll need leaflets, placards (preferably with comedic value yet deeply offensive to the Xtain psyche)and some people lined up to do speeches. Oh, and megaphones if we can get them, and some witty chants. Witty chants are the dogs bollox, let me tell you.

Jesus, (ahem) this sounds like a lot of work…but I’m still in.
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:29 pm) #

It’s one or the other Keri. You can’t have your finger in both pies.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:30 pm) #

I listened to the latest GrodsCast last night, Keri, and can I say you sound very Aussie. More Aussie than me, and I was born ‘ere (but for some reason, people always ask if I’m English - and I bet all of ‘youse’ would too if you ever have the misfortune of having to converse verbally with me).

(And your voice doesn’t sound so bad, keri, what were you worried about?!)
keri (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:46 pm) #

Bron, that’s what my father calls my “Day Voice” if there are Aussies around I sound Aussie, but if I’m around a group of Taffs I sound Welsh.

I don’t know, Bron. Does anyone like the sound of their own voice?

And sorry, Chuck. You’ll never fully convert me. I spend too much time around my “own kind”
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 2:52 pm) #

That’s true, Keri. My mother is English (naturalisation notwithstanding) and among Aussies she has a faint English accent, but amongst her kind, it becomes very pronounced.

Does anyone like the sound of their own voice? I don’t know, but I hate mine! And on the phone or on recordings, apparently I sometimes sound like I have a bit of a lisp - even though I don’t. You can’t hear the lisp if you’re talking to me face-to-face, otherwise. It’s weird. Stupid technology.

Do these clowns all come from the same church? If so, it could be more entertaining to stage a demo at the church, rather than East Melb…
Suburban Marxist (Friday 11 April 2008, 3:13 pm) #

Hehehe…yeah, we could picket the church…but then I guess you’d really need some numbers, which would involve building (publicising) the demo…
Suburban Marxist (Friday 11 April 2008, 3:14 pm) #

Maybe get Corey on board and have an SMS flash party at the church…
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 3:15 pm) #

Or ask Fred Phelps for tips on how to picket and come up with catchy, colourful posters.
THR (Friday 11 April 2008, 3:17 pm) #

Some posters would be good. Maybe a pic of that guy who shot the security at an abortion clinic a few years ago.

It’s be interesting, to say the least. These Christian nutters are as flighty and aggressive as any other kind of nutter, peace and goodwill be damned.

What about some religious ones for the God fans out there? -

“Did you demonstrate at The Crusades?”

“ Practice what he preached; tolerance, forgiveness and compassion”

And one for the not-God fans -

“Do you still believe in Santa Claus too?”

You could distribute disgusting pictures portraying heart surgery and demand that it be totally banned because it looks awful.
I believe that h.s is also unnatural and against God’s will - it is up to Whoever He Is to decide whether you live or die, not the surgeon.
H.s. in many cases means the patient avoids the consequences of their sin - if they hadn’t smoked, weren’t obese, hadn’t drunk so much, then h.s may not have been necessary. It’s all about self discipline and controlling one’s baser instincts.
That’d get them where they live.

GIT IN DAT DIRT AN’ GIMME 200 PUSH-UPS, YO’ SONOFABITCH.

When I joined the Armish Bron it was just after it become the touch-feely group-hug Armish. So you couldn’t make anyone do more push-ups. This directive was curtailed by not making soldiers do more push-ups but rather keeping them doing the one push-up — meaning they had to stay in the push-up rest position for 3 minutes or they would have all their belongings thrown out the window. ( The rest position)
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:16 pm) #

“just after it became” not become. God, looks what happens when you put your contact lenses back in after a few push-ups.

I really should be more careful.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:27 pm) #

FINE! 800 PUSH-UP REST POSITIONS!

No, I’m not that cruel. Speaking of cruel, the “Armish”, as you delightfully like to call it, are they sure the push-up rest position is, well, nicer than the ordinary push-up?

Seems ridiculous to me.
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:35 pm) #

Seems ridiculous to me.

Umm… like hello yes it is totally ridiculous.

Try it.
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:36 pm) #

I forgot to say that you should do at least 20 push-ups first or the maximum you can do.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:46 pm) #

I don’t have to try it to prove anything; my middle name is Xena.
Ant Rogenous (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:52 pm) #

So your full name is BrXenaon? Damn crazy ethnics.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:58 pm) #

I think I’ll have to change my middle name, it looks too much like “Brendon”.
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 8:58 pm) #

Xena is a pop culture icon and a hero to many. You are truly blessed with such a middle name Bron. Xena could do the one push-up torture test backwards.

I just tried it and it wasn’t that hard. I wish I was back in the Armish for a brief moment so I could beat their stupid curtailing tests and keep my barracks room intact.

DYK that in the Armish everything is backwards. For example your desk is called “table personal” instead of “personal table.”
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 9:13 pm) #

No, I did not know that. The question remains: WHY?! How did that come to be?
Chuck A. Spear (Friday 11 April 2008, 9:24 pm) #

I’m not entirely sure of why the items personal were reversed Bron.

For example, if you had to needed a new plate, knife and fork you would march with arms at breast pocket height into the QM store and ask (after check halting and all that…) [notice ellipse at end of sentence] for a “a pan set dress messing”. No shit.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 9:31 pm) #

I note the ellipses and you’re grounded for 2 weeks.

As for the reversal of “personal”, that’s just stoopid.

Then again, I guess you don’t enter the Armish to learn to speek and speel proper but. You go into the Armish to… what? Do push-ups? Why did you go into the Armish initially, Chuck? If you care to reveal publicly.

DYK, that I was taking to a dude today who makes machines that regulate your heartbeat (not a pace maker) and if your heart beat is like Lisa Curry Kenny’s, then it shocks your heart back into the right beat — and it feels like a horse has kicked you in the chest.

I’ll say it, because it needs to be said. Grodscorp is the Australian 2008 version of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Nobody does any work, we just engage in extended stream-of-consciousness monologues which occasionally intersect.

I find it funny that Leon thinks you see everything from a Marxist perspective, THR, yet he’s the only one who keeps bring it up — which makes me think HE sees everything from a Marxist perspective — or, to use a wanky word, paradigm.

Surname is in da house… apparently.

As that cunt Pauline once said (and thereby entered the Australian lexicon forevermore): Please explain.

Did you use a cuss word Bron? Oh my god… and I just noticed a new post, I’d better read it.

Did I use a cuss word? Of course not, you dopey cunt.

Look, I’m going to continue my perpetuating my drunken state at a bar. I’ll get to your post tomorrow Bron. Thanks for the thread guys… Adieu (as in the Eurovision song).
THR (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:06 pm) #

You should provide a link to the song.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:15 pm) #

Drunken state? Whilst still at work? Chuck, you is a badazz.

Speaking of drunken states, I’m all outta wine. Boohoo.

I haven’t consulted with the blogmeister, but consider this thread an “open thread”.

I decree it so.
The Editor (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:25 pm) #

Fucken hell. Open thread at 120 comments. Spawn of Satan.
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:29 pm) #

Incidentally, I’ve relapsed and have started baiting TMS. Should anyone want to become an enabler of this relapse, the address is:

They’re certainly the nuttier end of Christianity…

Incidentally, JIM CARREY IS ON THE LETTERMAN SHOW RIGHT NOW.

I <3 Jim Carrey. So sue me.

I <3 Jim Carrey. So sue me.

So I ’serve’ the paperwork where?

Somewhere in Ulan Bator.

DA FUCKS ME DED.

I Haz DEM r8 now.

What a sad little lefty I am, going out for a few hours on a Fridee. I should have been groupthinking!
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:54 pm) #

Hey, The Ed, what’s the longest a thread ever reached? (As in number of comments, not inches)
Bron (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:57 pm) #

I am so ashamed of you, Damian. ASHAMED. I will never be able to look at you again.

My trolling at The Mid.Sun has commenced. I’m not sure if I made sense, but considering the content on that blog, maybe I’ll fit right in.
THR (Friday 11 April 2008, 11:57 pm) #

Somewhere in Ulan Bator.

I’m actually going there, in August. If anyone hs any recommendations…
Damian (Saturday 12 April 2008, 12:09 am) #

Bron, saying anything at TMS besides “fuck yeah, Aurora, you are so right and no one is saying this except you” is trolling. I might pop over for a look.
Damian (Saturday 12 April 2008, 12:13 am) #

Hey THR, while you’re here, I spotted you (or at least your online vestige) at a certain Egyptian blog. Hadn’t realised your affiliations. Interesting, to say the least.
Bron (Saturday 12 April 2008, 12:15 am) #

Damn, that means I’m going to be banned imme
