Avert your eyes!

Just when you thought Steve Fielding’s bong stunt was as low as this muppet could go in trying to attract attention to himself, he goes and does something like this.

Angry pensioners and a Family First senator have stripped off and stopped traffic on one of Melbourne’s busiest intersections in a protest against a lack of support for seniors in this week’s Federal Budget.

[...]

Mr Fielding stripped off his shirt in support of the protest, while two elderly women wore only their bras.

Several men also stripped to the waist after the protesters walked from the steps of Flinders Street Station into the intersection with Swanston Street.

Aargh! My retinas!

Fielding flagged this hideous act in one of his notorious home videos last week, but I honestly couldn’t see him going through with it. And the irony of it all is that Fielding baring his chest to a handful of bemused pedestrians in Melbourne’s city centre won’t help one bit in getting him re-elected. Face it, Steve: you and your Pentecostal mates are headed for the political dustbin of history and no stunt on Earth is going to save you.

    Luckily for all involved he didn’t rip his shirt off last ANZAC day.

    Was has been seen cannot be unseen.

    I have suddenly lost my appetite for lunch

    Thanks Ed.

    The only way he’s going to get more votes out of this stunt is if he threatens to nude up if we don’t vote for him.

    Mao if you want dinner be sure to avoid seeing the pics of the pensioners who stripped off.
    Why can’t they just go away and die with dignity.

    Why is Woody Allen holding a placard without his shirt on??

    Ross, please don’t use the word “woody” under a photo of a half-naked Family First senator.

    I think if I was stagiing a stunt like this I’d choose some pensioners who didn’t look so well fed (and well clothed).

    Fielding’s the one who looks like he’s trying to eke out an existence by eating dogfood.

    He. Did. Not. Surely?!

    He looks like Mr Bean in that episode when he’s locked out of his hotel room in the nuddy.

    Eeeew. Make it stop.

  12. Friday 16 May 2008, 3:02 pm #Bron

    I can’t stop ogling over that pic.

    Desperate times require desperate measures

    He. I’ve just hassled my Family First voting workmate about it. She looked confused and slightly embarrassed. He.

    (aw Jeezus, roll on 5 o’clock…)

    Is it just me, or is the moustache man in the background checking out Fielding’s arse?

  16. Friday 16 May 2008, 4:16 pm #Bron

    OK, so we’ve all had a chance to drool over Mr Fielding’s buff bare chest.

    Now it’s time to drool over the sexy lingerie of the wimmin.

    For an old duck, the one on the right has a fairly upstanding pair.

    Not a bad bra, either.

    old people shit me, i never quite understood the “respect your elders” thing. Oldies are like children in wrinkly elf like bodies, they always want a hand out. They arent wise and friendly like the old people in the movies.
    K-Rudd gives them a seniors bonus and an increased utilities allowance and they put their hand out for more. what else they want? pokies bonus?

    Thanks a lot The Editor,
    You could have put a “not work safe” tag on that.
    Stephen Fielding half naked. I’m getting fired for sure.

  20. Friday 16 May 2008, 5:03 pm #Broken Left Leg

    That last one was mine The Ed.
    I just want you to send the apologies to the right place when I get fired.

    He’s lucky that no-one recognised him, I’m sure that if a few of those car drivers had realised that the half naked git holding up traffic was Steve Fielding we’d have a casual senate vacancy to fill by now.

    gah, so I quell my heaving stomach after seeing this shite on the news enough to have some dinner, I get on here and…..

    FFS, no one wants to see Fielding’s pasty torso, no matter how flimsy the premise or how tenuous the link between pension payments and public nudity.

    My God Fielding is a pirates dream! “A sunken chest”

    One can only imagine how much sand this serial puller has had kicked in his face.

    That guy gets his shirt off more times than Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest.

    Attention geriatrics. You have been pwned.

    The Vatican need look no further for ET.

    How sad to see our pensioners having to do this to get Krudd’s attention. Maybe if they held a sign up saying “We’re Indonesian” the government would be throwing money at them. Why should our pensioners subsidise the increase in the foreign aid budget?

  28. Friday 16 May 2008, 8:36 pm #cosmicjester

    what is steve doing there anyway? isnt he all about the families?

  29. Friday 16 May 2008, 8:47 pm #Bron

    Judas Kiss, “our pensioners”? OURS?

    Not mine.

  30. Friday 16 May 2008, 8:57 pm #Judas Kiss

    Bron, our pensioners, our politicians, our deficit or surplus, our national cricket team. That sort of language does have currency.

  31. Friday 16 May 2008, 8:59 pm #Bron

    Nah.

    Gives a new meaning to

    “Thou art with me my staff and my rod”

    Or as a council worker was heard to remark

    “Who left this fucking broom here”

    Warned about this on Monday. Hoped desperately it wouldn’t come to pass. Oh, gods, no.
