Crikey, Crikey

I haven’t subscribed to Crikey for quite some time and I even had so little interest in the forwarded copies I received from one or two people for a while that I asked for them to stop. And with shite like this appearing on YouTube yesterday I think I’ve made the right decisions regarding the assault of my eyeballs with Crikey material.
What. The. Fuck. That video is simply terrible. Whatever the opposite of funny is it’s that. It’s an insult to uni students to call it undergraduate. It’s an insult to youth to call it a high school effort. Utterly atrocious stuff.
It’s about as funny as Wil Anderson.

… Why does it turn blue suddenly?
That was atrocious. I can’t really think of any other way to describe it.

I’ve also decided to give up my Crikey sub. It really isn’t the fun little rag that it once was.

I got bored 25 seconds in. Terrible.

That sock is a cunt.

Yes, that sock is a fat cunt and Wil has finally met his match.

Yep, it’s shit. Someone forwarded me on the election coverage they’ve done, and apart from a piece by Simon Hughes on the ABC coverage, it was pretty crap.

Did anyone watch Salem Cafe on SBS last night?
It had it’s moments - it’s like GrodsThink with hijabs.

Covered up faces? Well, it’d certainly be an improvement.
But the question is - can you drink a beer with a hijab on?

I saw a rerun of Salem Cafe on Sunday and was fairly impressed with it. Some of the humour was forced and lame (so, as Wah said, much like GrodsThink) but on the whole I thought it was quite enjoyable.
