I’m pretty annoyed about these new laws that make it against the law to annoy Catholics as they annoy us with their silly festival of superstitious homophobia. I’m also annoyed by the fact the government’s paying 160 million for it. Which makes me pretty damn annoyed. So I may as well post these & be damned.

Well it had to happen. Strip off the veil covering those Gulf Goat Beauties & all hell breaks loose. Like beauty pageants everywhere I guess.

A goat only a mother could love. They’re called “Damascene” goats, which must be a derivative of “Dam have you seen dem ugly goats”. The winning goat, named Qahr, is owned by Muhammad Hawas of Saudi Arabia. He looks suitably proud - as you would really. Goatboy salutes Qahr!

As the “God-Bothering Juggernaut Taxpayer Funded Festival of Childish Superstition” approaches, more piss-taking gems have been submitted. The “cross yourself” entry comes from Mr A. Nonymous, and the “Touching” design comes courtesy of Monsigneur Gareth of Newcastle. Can’t you just feel the love? Keep ‘em coming!

GOATBOY DOESN’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ART, BUT I KNOW WHAT I LIKE. THIS MAN IS A GOATGOD.

Gemma Lin has Brains - not just because she lives in Bondi, but because she owns & runs Li Zai Restaurant on 80 Campbell Pde (above Mambo). Their Asian Tapas food is as spectacular as the incredible view, and Gemma and her girls will really look after you. Call 02 9130 5166 to book.

This bloody funny idea comes from a mate who has requested anonymity .

I’m not quite sure what he’s afraid of - a t shirt design, or letting your 9 year old son near a Catholic Priest.

(US$ 2 Billion paid in “shut-the-fuck-up money” to victims of priest child sex abuse suggests that there’s somewhat of an endemic paedophile problem in the Catholic Church in America. I wonder how much they’ve had to pay out in Australia? Exactly how much George?)

Well there’s definitely some major talent out there. This World Youth Day T-Shirt design reached us via Deborah Kelly - who is a contemporary artist of some note. You can see her art at www.bewareofthegod.com Goatboy commends you Deborah!

I guess Goatboy should have seen this one coming. Creative credits go to “Trent” (he of the singular name) who has successfully taken the piss out of Goatboy’s own Diana design. Our lawyers will be in touch soon Trent! (those we haven’t already killed…)

It’s a pretty funny thing really.

The Pope is coming to Australia soon to officiate at a gathering called “World Youth Day”, which is a pretty ironic name, after The Catholic Church just paid out $US 2 BILLION to settle child sex abuse cases against it’s endemic level of paedophile priests.

And to think some people get offended by our T-shirt designs?

Anyway, the trick to all you budding designers out there is to try to keep your designs funny - which is rather difficult - seeing as though the NSW & Federal Government are funding the whole shebang (or should that be ‘he-bang’) to the tune of 160 million taxpayer dollars.

But back to our competition - it’s easy to do an abusive & offensive T-Shirt - Paddy’s Market is full of “vomit, shit, fart & fuck” designs. What we’re after here is something much funnier, something witty, something to make light of the obscene amount of taxpayer funds and general disruption this bizarre festival of God Botherers is about to wreak on our lovely city.

We might as well have a laugh, because hey - we’re paying for it!

Goatboy is inviting all of you to engage in the traditional Australian pastime of taking the piss - so go hard, be harsh, but most importantly, be FUNNY.

The design above is ours, because we had to start somewhere. We strongly encourage you to beat it - just like an Opus Dei self-flagellation session.

So lock up your sons, crack the whip & send your funny ideas to contact@goatboy.com.au (We won’t be posting any of the nasty negative abusive or unfunny ones)

The best idea (as judged by Goatboy) will get produced & be available for sale. (The winner will get $200 cash, infamy, eternal damnation and 3 Goatboy T-Shirts of their choice)

Please try to remember that in the absence of separation between Church & State, irony will set you free
