Double post, why not?
Why do people keep telling me how hot Natalie Bassingthwaite is? She's petite with a great figure, I'll give her that, but apart from that, no. She looks like a pug dog, and her hair is the same colour as her skin, which is never a good look. She can't sing either.

Re: Nats, there's a larger problem at work. She is the token example of the kind of woman who finds fame in Australia, because the Aussie entertainment industry is so unbelievably homogeneous, even more so than Hollywood. At least in Hollywood there are some people who have hair that isn't bleach blonde, and there's even the odd person of color. There aren't many of them, granted, but at least there are a few. I can't even watch Aussie TV anymore because all the women look exactly the same: thin bottle blondes with fake bake tans. I tried watching Neighbours the other day (I was never a fan, but I didn't have anything better to do), and I had to turn it off because I kept getting all the women confused. And what's more, I was watching it with a friend, and I kept going, "Hey, when did Bridie Carter start working again?" or "Didn't that girl used to be on Dancing with the Stars, or something like that?" and my girlfriend kept going "No. You've got your blondes mixed up." That's for damn sure. Hell, even the *guys* are starting to look the same as the chicks. I guess I'm just bitter though. Mum's genes for brunette, curly hair and pale Irish skin are strong in me.

As a slightly heavy, pale skin brunette I feel your pain too. And feel my own.

I just found out Grant McLennan died two years ago. I love the Go-Betweens, and The Lost Album is one of my all-time favorites. I am kind of blue that not only is he dead, but I just found out. Some super-fan I proved to be.

Did anyone watch the ARIAs? I only caught bits and pieces if I was flicking through the music channels, and from what I saw I didn't miss much. I just wanted to say that I think Gabriella Cilmi is a little over-rated. 'Sweet about me' is catchy, but I watched her sing it live and she sounded like an over-confident pub patron singing karaoke.
I didn't see anyone else so I don't have anything positive to say I'm afraid.

Has Harry Nicolaides’ case gotten any attention from the Aussie government? I can’t believe what’s happening to him - it’s just atrocious. I’ve gotten several emails from Greeks around the world about it, so I’m just wondering what they are doing (if anything.) I am also boycotting any trips to Thailand for the foreseeable future. I was planning on it in 2010, but screw that now.

I admit I've been neglecting the news lately. In my defense it's so depressing and I just got the Buffy box-set [/shallow]. I haven't seen this story, but wow. Boycott away.

Bud Tingwell[/color] died. RIP. Aannd, on to an equally depressing topic: what is it with these rugby league players and their penchant for group sex?

I'm sad about Bud, I loved his 'Charlie the Wonderdog' appearances in The Late Show (wow, showing my age).
As far as rugby league players - too much testosterone, team environment that focuses on aggression, lack of education (if you're spending as much time as possible training to be excellent at a sport something - like school - is going to give), and, most of all, the players are constantly rewarded for shitty behaviour. Very few of their wives are going to dump them, they get a status boost from their husband's job, and even if they did there's a long line of women waiting to take her place. As long as they're performing well at the game they're not going to lose their jobs.
The status of sport in Australia annoys me. I enjoy cricket, but sports people as role models and people to admire? Nuh uh.

I think there is something seriously repressed about a group of otherwise homophobic/hyper-masculine men getting together for mutual masturbation over one woman whom they treat as a piece of meat. I don't get how "having a bun" encourages team solidarity or makes them better players.
