What’s the bet that this one gets reported around the world as a “them crazy Aussies” story instead of an “another argument for compulsory sterilisation” story? And what’s the bet it raises chuckles and toasts of “nice one, mate” from drunken bogan males around this country?

Police in Alice Springs say they were appalled to find a driver put a seatbelt around a carton of beer - but left a five-year-old child unrestrained.

Officers stopped the unregistered sedan on the Ross Highway south of Alice Springs on the weekend.

They found the child sitting in the back seat without a seatbelt, but the driver had put a belt around a slab of beer.

UPDATE: Of course, only Andrew Bolt can take a story like this and imply that it was one of them degenerate Abodiginals without a scrap of information to support his theory.

Nice one, mate.

Bolt has already picked up on this one -

His tag line? : “Ethnic descriptors omitted, of course, so that valid conclusions cannot be drawn.”

In other words, until he has anything resembling a fact … assume a darker shade of pale. Fucking scumbag.

I’d be careful about jokes about sterilisation. LaRouche nutjobs love to pretend that lefties have an ongoing agenda to eradicate a huge portion of the Earth’s population.

All they need to do now is link you to Prince what’s-his-name and the WWF and then the conspiracy theory is complete!

You don’t donate to the World Wildlife Fund do you? :O

I still think Vince McMahon has dibs over the ‘WWF’ name. The World Wildlife Fund wasn’t an important part of my childhood, Hulk Hogan and The Iron Sheik were.

Oh, I loved Hulk Hogan. Although I denied it for years, he was my hero growing up.

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat was the man for me — until Mr Fuji necked him from the ropes with a leather belt. He was never the same after that.

Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka was awesome too.

Ross - having checked the comments on Bolt’s blog, I found no winged monkeys, however there were plenty of bonobos and orangutans (bonobos are very liberally minded, and orangutans are highly intelligent, for the uninformed). There are some fantastic ones about his obvious racial baiting. You guys should check it out.

Oops! Sorry for the double post. Didn’t think the first one had gone through.

My fault, Ross. Got eaten by spam filter and I un-spammed it. Will delete now.

Ah, Mr Fuji. I forgot about him. He scared me.

I had no interest in 80s wrestling but the two who I do remember are George The Animal Steele (a high-IQ genius who masqueraded as a troglodyte) and Jesse Venture (a low-IQ troglodyte who masqueraded as governor of Minnesota).

George The Animal Steele used to eat the foam out of the padding in the corner of the ring. He was dangerous.

And he kidnapped Randy “Macho Man” Savage’s manager, the beautiful Elizabeth.

I liked Jake ‘the snake’. After he defeated his opponent, he’d immediately collect his pet python from the corner and lay it on them.

It may very well have been the most unintentionally homosexual acts ever captured on American Prime Time TV.
